Non-dye Emperor Jingchen

?After they returned to Xijing from Jingzhou, more than a month later, it will be the first month again.For Xiao Qi, the first month in Xijing is not much different from what he spent in the capital in previous years.

It's just that in the past, my parents were busy entertaining guests, and my younger sister went to the street to play with girls from other families. I either hid in the house, or cooked wine and tea with three or five close friends.

Now these entertainment exchanges, only one person left.

Different from Xiao Qi and others, Zhao Jichen was very happy.When he was in the capital, he was often dragged to various banquets, which was really boring and he couldn't refuse.The only thing that made him unhappy was that Yu Jie was busier than usual and had no time to accompany him at all.Of course Zhao Jichen refused, so Yu Jie had no choice but to agree to Yuan Xiao to accompany him for a day.

Zhao Jichen got up very early in the Lantern Festival, and just after getting up, he urged Yu Jie to go to the street.

Yu Jie was still half asleep at this time, seeing him change into a newly made satin robe, he couldn't help laughing at him like the little daughter-in-law who just walked through the door.

Zhao Jichen smiled, but a plum blossom needle was shot at Yu Jie in a hurry. Yu Jie was completely awake now, and almost avoided it. This was to murder his husband.Now Yu Jie had no choice but to get up and wash up obediently, not daring to say anything else.

There were many people on the street, Yu Jie took Zhao Jichen's hand, afraid that he would disappear if he didn't pay attention.Zhao Jichen's face was a little red, and after being held for a long time, he was able to let go.

There are all kinds of performances of thaumaturgy, supernatural powers, singing and dancing on the street, but Zhao Jichen is fascinated by the puppet show.Yu Jie followed his eyes and saw that the puppet show was performed, which was the story of Chen Ping in the Han Dynasty.Zhao Jichen may have seen this thing for the first time, and it was a novelty at first, but he had already read the story, and after watching it for a long time, it was nothing more than that.The two walked along the crowd.

There are storytellers, jugglers, and bees and butterflies.Yu Jie has already passed the age of novelty, and Zhao Jichen didn't know how many these things he saw when he was in the palace, and it seemed a little boring.

As the two walked, Zhao Jichen remembered that the Changchun Courtyard was nearby, so he suggested that they should go and see how Qingquan was.

Yu Jie smiled and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to see him when we go, Qingquan is probably accompanying Zuo Ningshang."

Zhao Jichen thought about it, and felt that Yu Jie was right, so he had to give up.

On the other side, Xiao Qi obviously didn't have as much leisure as them, he was discussing with Yang Cheng, Xun Gechou and others about the petition.

The beginning of spring in the coming year will be the day when the army will be raised, and the matter of appealing to the public must naturally not be delayed at all.

Xiao Qi was tired all day, and had to go to Zhao Lingcang's banquet in the evening.Just thinking about this, Xiao Qi coughed violently again, traces of blood flowed from between his fingers.It seemed that before going to the banquet, he had to meet Chen Muxiang.

Chen Muxiang checked the pulse, frowned and said: "Forgive me, did Master Xiao encounter any other things when he went out these few times?"

He didn't tell anyone about Xiao Qi kneeling in the snow for half an hour, and Yu Jie didn't dare to tell, so no one knew about it.

Hearing Chen Muxiang's question, he said: "It's not really a big deal."

Chen Muxiang's face had a faint look of anger: "It's not a big deal? It's not a big deal that you've started coughing up blood? You can't..." He looked at Xiao Qi with an almost pleading look.

Xiao Qi still said words like thank you for caring gently, but there was already a bit of alienation on his brows.

Only then did Chen Muxiang realize his impoliteness, he didn't say anything, he just went to the table to write the prescription.

This evening's banquet, Xiao Qi only stayed for a while, then he felt tired, and he simply didn't support anymore, he went straight to Zhao Lingcang and said to go back to his room to rest.

Although Yang Ziya felt sorry for him, but at the banquet, there were so many cups and cups, he couldn't get away for a while, so he had to give up.

Leaving the crowd, Xiao Qi dropped his usual gentle appearance, his expression was a little indifferent, the laughter and laughter in the front hall never even reached his heart.

He was being washed by a maid, and he was about to go to bed when he saw Chu Jingchen standing outside the door.And what Chu Jingchen was holding in his hand was the blood-stained robe he had in the morning.

"What's going on?" Chu Jingchen's questioning tone was completely different from his usual respectful expression in front of Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi knew that he was concerned about himself, so he said: "No problem."

Chu Jingchen looked at him with a strange look, and that kind of look made Xiao Qi feel a little puzzled. Although Chu Jingchen had been his bodyguard since he was more than ten years old, he had never fully understood over this person.

"Go to sleep." Chu Jingchen blew out the candle on the desk and was about to close the door and go out.

"Jing Chen," Xiao Qi said suddenly, "When these things are over, I'll tell you about the marriage."

Chu Jingchen was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything after all.

Even in the first month, the guard of the palace was not relaxed at all, Xiao Qi also had other attendants by his side, Chu Jingchen was not worried about his safety.

Xijing is located in the south, so it is natural that it will not snow.Chu Jingchen sat down on a stone step anywhere, took out something the size of a goose egg from his arms, put it near his mouth and blew.

Although Xiao Qi was tired, he seemed to be having trouble falling asleep, but he gradually felt at ease after hearing this familiar tune.

Chu Jingchen played the Xun, which is a musical instrument that existed in ancient times.Xiao Qi has heard this piece of music since he met Chu Jingchen, but he still doesn't know the name of the piece.

He also asked the musicians in the palace, and the musicians only guessed which lost piece it was.And Chu Jingchen himself didn't know the name of the piece, he only said that it was taught by an old friend.

In fact, at the beginning, Xiao Qi had thought that the old man should be a very lively girl.

The tune of this song is bright, played by the expressionless Chu Jingchen, the sense of disobedience is quite strong.

There is a person in his heart, and knowing that is enough.As for the name of that person, and where he is now, are these important?Thinking of this, Xiao Qi fell asleep with heavy tiredness, accompanied by the sound of xun.

When the courtiers heard about Wu Wang Zhao Lingcang's rebellion with different expressions, Zhao Jingyu sat on his throne, not even half surprised.

Three days ago, he had already learned about this from the hidden guard.In the past three days, he has been thinking about countermeasures alone, and he has not told anyone, and he cannot tell anyone.

The two factions in the DPRK and China are facing each other, one is Ning Zhou, and the other is Yang Ju.Yang Ju was the one whom he brought up in order to curb the powerful Ning family, and his son Yang Shu won his favor even more.

Zhao Jingyu had a headache. Although the hidden guards hadn't found out the news, he knew that Yang Ziya must be one of the 13 troops.If you bow your head to the Ning family again at this time...

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Only then did Zhao Jingyu come back to his senses, and looked at Ning Zhou with a worried expression on his face: "What is Ning Aiqing's plan?"

Ning Zhou is old, but his words are unequivocal: "The rebel used the name of the late emperor to plot rebellion, and even fabricated the story of the late emperor's son. If you are not talented, your majesty can start with this fake prince."

Zhao Jingyu praised Ning Zhou on the surface, but he sneered in his heart.Tang Zhuhuan reported the identity of Zhao Xihuai, the late son of the late emperor, to him three days ago.

If Yu Jie's family members are just ordinary officials, of course they can be taken as hostages.But Yu inspection is a tricky problem.

Yu inspected the Yongzhou checkpoint, and Yongzhou was the border with Yan.If Yu Jian was rashly called into the capital, would Yan Guo take advantage of it?Although Yu Jian's relatives are in the capital, if this is a threat, I am afraid that Yu Jian will rebel with his son.

While Zhao Jingyu was still hesitating, Yu Jie had already led his army into Yuzhou.The war is on the verge of breaking out and there is no time left.Zhao Jingyu had no choice but to bow to Ning Zhou and followed his advice.

Feng Dinghe was made a general, and led an army of 20 to hunt for thieves.

It's not that he didn't see the complacency behind Ning Zhou's humble expression. He has been in power for more than 19 years, but he is always under the control of the Ning family.Even against the bandits and rebellion, he must let his people lead the troops.

How could Zhao Jingyu not be angry, how could he not hate.At that time, I ascended to the throne by relying on the Ning family, and married Ning Zhou's daughter as a noble concubine, crowning the harem.

He didn't know why it ended up in today's field, but Ning Zhou knew.

Zhao Jingyu is just a puppet, and he was the biggest beneficiary of the Renhai Incident 20 years ago.Just being a pure puppet is boring. Ning Zhou deliberately created an illusion for Zhao Jingyu, making him think that he can win this power struggle for so many years.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Fang has no time to ask to see you."

In the past few days, Zhao Jingyu wanted to see no one, but thinking of Fang Wuxia's relationship with Yu Jie, he had to force himself to let him in.

Fang Wuxia saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not reporting the crime. If the person who Mr. Ning said is pretending to be the son of the late emperor, if I guess correctly, it should be Yu Jie."

Zhao Jingyu nodded: "I know everything you said."

Fang Wuxia was taken aback for a moment, the emperor knew...then...

The fact that Fang Wuxia has a very good relationship with Yu Jie might come in handy, Zhao Jingyu thought of this and said something nice to comfort Fang Wuxia.The words imply that the mastermind of the rebellion is Zhao Lingcang, and if Yu Jie can repent and surrender, he can guarantee Yu Jie's life.

Fang Wuxia listened to what Zhao Jingyu meant, and he also wanted to instigate rebellion by himself.The weather was exceptionally good that day, the sun shone on the unmelted snow, Fang Wuxia smiled wryly, Yu Jie is not a person who is easily changed by other people's words.Since he chose this way, he must have his own reasons.

The snow on the glazed tiles had already begun to melt, and water dripped on his face.Fang Wuxia brushed off the water droplets on his face, feeling a little dazed.

But at this time in the capital, there is another person who is more anxious than Zhao Jingyu.That is Yang Ziya's father, Yang Ju.

"This unfilial son, it's nothing more than ruining my family style by doing that disgraceful thing with a man, but now he is involved in the treasonous thing."

Yang Shu said from the side: "Father, whether Zi Ya participated in the rebellion is just hearsay, and it can't be taken seriously."

Yang Ju sneered: "Heard it? Where there is no wind, there is no wave. Look at the attitude of the emperor these days. Ding He is a general and leads 20 troops to fight?"

Yang Shu frowned: "The emperor's sudden closeness to the Ning family may be due to other reasons, but the emperor seems to have seen no one except Ning Zhou these days. No." Yang Ju seemed to remember something, "The emperor met the man from Dali Temple. Fang has no time."

Only then did Yang Ju feel that something was wrong: "At this juncture, why is the emperor looking for people from Dali Temple?"

Yang Shu shook his head, thinking of someone: "Does father still remember the marriage of Princess Lingyi last year?"

Yang Ju thought for a long time, and was very puzzled: "Princess Lingyi encountered a sandstorm on the way to get married, and her life and death are uncertain. Not long after, her biological mother, Ning Guifei, died of illness. The emperor pointed out that Fang had no time to investigate this matter, and then it was over. It's over. What are you doing with these irrelevant matters?"

Yang Shu said helplessly: "Father, think about it carefully, who is the person who escorted Princess Lingyi to get married?"

"Yu Jian's son...Yu Jie?" Yang Ju found this idea too incredible, "You mean..."

Yang Shudao: "If we make a bold guess, the disappearance of the married couple is a beginning..."

"That's right." Yang Jushen nodded approvingly, "If that fake Zhao Xihuai is Yu Jie, then the emperor must have asked Fang Wuxia to instigate rebellion."

"Father, have you figured out a way out?"

Yang Ju sighed: "If it's true that your brother participated in the rebellion, I'm afraid our whole family..."

Yang Shu was not as worried as he was: "Although that's the case...But father, the Ning family's power has reached the point where it can't be stopped. Ten years ago, with Shen Mu, they could still contain each other. Shen Mu fell After that, the emperor took a fancy to our Yang family, but..."

His voice suddenly lowered a lot, "Even if the King of Wu doesn't want to raise troops, I'm afraid that in a few years, everyone in the world should change their surname to Ning."

Yang Shu recalled the news he had heard, and said, "How many people are waiting openly and secretly for the news...I'm afraid there are not a few who want to seek refuge there."

Yang Ju knew what his son was thinking, so he didn't want to get away, but he knew that when he chose to be hostile to the Ning family, he had no way out.

"Get ready first," Yang Ju had already made a decision, "Take your mother, wife and children with you, the sooner the better."

"Father." Yang Shu knelt on the ground, "Father, come with us..."

Yang Ju shook his head: "Impossible. Let me be a hostage. You must find Ziya."

Yang Shu looked up and saw his father's aging face, he couldn't help feeling sad, two lines of tears wet his blue robe. ?
