After Yu Changqing came to his senses, he immediately suggested to Xie Qing to send the soldier talisman to the emperor as soon as possible.Xie Qing thought for a long time, then shook his head firmly.

Since Zhao Xin gave him the soldier talisman, how could he not make good use of it?At the beginning of the rebellion, having such a thing that can command the rebels can really reduce a lot of worries.

Xie Qing held the hot potato for half a month, gathered the remaining rebels and escorted them to Chang'an in batches, until Zhao Yanzhi sent someone to see him.

It was the eunuch Ling Wang Chun who came.

Xie Qing couldn't help being surprised when he saw it, he hurried forward and said, "Chun Ling, why did you come in person?"

Wang Chun was getting old, and he looked extremely tired after a long journey.He said to Xie Qing with a sad face: "Da Sima, you can quickly go back with your servants, the entire Guangming Palace has almost been demolished."

Xie Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Chun Ling, wait for another three days for Qing."

Wang Chun became anxious when he heard it: "Young master, you can see that the servant has watched you grow up, so don't make things difficult for the servant. If you insist on not listening, the servant will tie you up even if you are tied. go back."

Xie Qing asked someone to bring Wang Chun a glass of water, helped him to sit down, and said, "Chun Ling, you must know what good things Zhao Xin left for Qing before he died. If Qing doesn't make good use of it, wouldn't it be Don't let him down too much?"

Wang Chun was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "My lord, what kind of thing do you think that is? You have been smart since you were a child, how could you not see that King Guangling is trying to harm you!"

Xie Qing thoughtfully helped Wang Chun calm down, and said calmly: "The spring order is wrong, so it is naturally a good thing. With this thing, Qing will get twice the result with half the effort to bring the rebels back. Seeing that they will all be sent back to Chang'an in the next few days." So, there is no need to worry about being fooled, so why not do it?"

"Chunling, tell me, isn't it good that Zhao Xin left Qing?"

Xie Qing's expression was mixed with calmness and determination, Wang Chun looked away sadly.His old and cold hand covered Xie Qing's: "What about you? Then what can you do?"

Long before Xie Qing returned to the imperial court, Zhou Jichuan, Marquis of Chengyang, together with a thousand family members and former court officials, jointly signed a letter to impeach Da Sima for secretly accepting the rebellious king's military amulet.At first, he was reprimanded by Zhao Yanzhi and vehemently dismissed, but later on, he found that the situation seemed to be more and more out of his control.

Group after group of courtiers sprung up one after another like mushrooms after rain, and voices of impeachment against Xie Qing kept coming and going.Even the sarcasm that "Da Sima never saw you worry about the country and the people so much when the great Sima was at the front line when he was born and died" was quickly drowned in everyone's saliva.

However, Zhao Yanzhi's face was ashen all day long, and he insisted on refusing to express his opinion until the former prime minister, Xie Qing's father, who had resigned for many years, knelt in tears in the court hall.

"The dog is domineering, and his words and deeds are meaningless. I dare not ask His Majesty for forgiveness. I only hope that your majesty will remember the minister's hard work for many years, and remember the past relationship with the dog, and save his life." , It's true that those who hear it cry and those who see it are sad.

Zhao Yanzhi's heart turned cold.

Father and son turned against each other, and flesh and blood fought against each other.Zhao Yan only knew that Xie Xiang didn't like the eldest son, but he never knew that once Xie Qing became a stumbling block, he could so cleanly intend to kill his parents and children.

At this point, Zhao Yanzhi suddenly realized that he had spent a lot of effort to severely attack the princes and kings, and finally got rid of his elder brother who had been eyeing him all the time.The Zhao family lost both sides in the fight, but it was in vain to take advantage of these aristocratic families in the court.

They must also be afraid of such an iron-blooded king.Otherwise, why are they in such a hurry to attack?They wanted Xie Qing's life so desperately, didn't they just want to cut off their own arms?

So Xie Pang couldn't make his decision, so he couldn't wait to admit the crime of the eldest son; so Xie Xiang only talked about hard work and love, but didn't mention Xie Qing's illustrious achievements.

If possible, Zhao Yanzhi really wanted to kill all these people, but he just didn't have the ability; now he has seen the intertwined connections of these people, and even if they want to get rid of them, they have to do it slowly.But it was too late.

They couldn't wait for his Huaifang to die.

Zhao Yan not only hated them, but also hated himself.He vaguely recalled that many years ago, Mr. had said to him, are you willing to break his wings? He could have established an indomitable achievement, one person below ten thousand people.But why did he forget?If it wasn't for him wanting Xie Qing to go through life and death and not allowing him to touch power, what if today's Xie Qing is like Gu Shenxing in the past, and he is privately receiving the military talisman?As long as you believe in him, who dares to impeach him easily?

What's more, even if he no longer trusts him, he still has to weigh it; just like now, he clearly hates the veterans of the gentry in front of him, but he still has to greet them with a smile and show all the courtesy.

He used to be careful to walk on thin ice, not allowing the slightest thing that might separate the relationship between him and Xie Qing.But things are so important now.If he knew that his worry about gain and loss would almost kill his lover, he would rather never get him.

In the beginning, he wanted this power, wasn't it just to protect that person's life, peace and joy.

In September of the third year of Chengguang, Grand Sima Xie Qing was away with his troops, but he did not return for a long time. After staying for more than [-] days, he returned to Chang'an alone.The emperor rewarded the soldiers of the three armies generously, and even the rebels were included in the command of the generals. Let the past be forgotten, but the chief Sima was forced to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

In fact, Xie came back early.

The news of Xie Qing's arrival in Chang'an was completely hidden, no one knew about it.He was taken directly to Guangming Palace to meet Zhao Yanzhi.

I haven't been back for half a year, and nothing has changed here.When the lanterns first came on, Zhao Yan only lit a dimly lit lamp in his sleeping hall, and the face of the emperor who was sitting upright was as flickering as the flame.

Xie Qing saluted politely: "Your Majesty is always happy."

In front of him was his lover who had been away for several months, but Zhao Yanzhi was not at all happy.He dismissed all the servants, but did not take any action, as if there was no Xie Qing around him.

Xie Qing silently stood aside with his hands down, his heart was strangely calm as water.After a long time, Zhao Yanzhi said in a strange voice: "Do you have anything to say to me, Qing?"

If Xie Qing remembers correctly, this is the first time that Zhao Yanzhi used the title "Zhen" to him in private.

"The king of Chu surrendered, the king of Guangling committed suicide, and all the lost land has been regained. Fortunately, the minister did not disgrace his order. There are about 20 remnants of the rebel army. The minister has sent people to send them to Chang'an in batches, waiting for His Majesty to deal with it." Xie Qing's voice echoed. It was as clear and peaceful as before, but Zhao Yanzhi's heart was aroused.

So he snorted harshly and said: "Qing has no taboos, but I dare not accept this great gift."

Zhao Yanzhi looked at Xie Qing's astonished face, and felt a little bit of satisfaction in his heart.This is also a kind of sharing weal and woe, he thought.All the torments in his heart these days seemed to be endured by someone with him.Zhao Yanzhi suddenly felt much happier.

However, that is not enough.

When Xie Qing was suddenly thrown to the ground, she didn't even think of resisting.With his eyes tightly closed, he endured the man's brutal gnawing, rapid penetration, ruthless impact, and venting his anger, which only made him feel strange.When he tasted his own blood, somehow he thought of the first night, and he bit his lip like this, desperately trying to bear it.At that time, Zhao Yanzhi pried open his mouth coaxingly, and put his hand between his lips and teeth.

At the moment when Xie Qing finally passed out from exhaustion, he thought vaguely, it really hurts.

When Xie Qing woke up the next day, he found that he was already lying on the bed, his body was refreshed and clean.The entire dormitory was empty, Xie Qing endured the discomfort and got up, ready to go home.

But the clothes were gone.

Not only the clothes he wore yesterday, but even the clothes he usually put in Zhao Yanzhi's sleeping hall are all gone.

Xie Qing was trembling with anger, he never imagined that he would be trapped in such a nasty way.He thought that from now on, he would never dare to say that he was exhausted; without clothes, Xie Qing had no choice but to stay on the bed, wrapping himself tightly with the quilt.

When Zhao Yanzhi came back, he saw Xie Qing wrapped himself up like a big silkworm chrysalis, lying tightly against the wall.And the porridge that was warming for him next to him didn't move a sip.Zhao Yanzhi could almost imagine Xie Qing's angry expression now, so he was in a much better mood after squaring off with the officials all morning.

"Qing, get up, I'll take you to see Chengming and Hou'er." Zhao Yanzhi held back a smile and said solemnly.

Xie Qing's attire made his movements slightly inconvenient.He turned around with difficulty, and Zhao Yanzhi just looked at him condescendingly with a half-smile.Xie Qing felt that it was impolite for him to lie down like this, but thinking about his current appearance, it would be just as impolite in other postures, so he simply stared at Zhao Yanzhi and did not move.

"Oh, clothes, I was negligent." Zhao Yanzhi said playfully, as if he just remembered, "I'll ask someone to bring it to Qing."

The four children hadn't seen Xie Qing for a long time, and they were all very excited when they saw him, they surrounded Xie Qing and asked this and that.Seeing the child, Xie Qing felt much better.He tried not to look at Zhao Yanzhi, but he was able to finish a meal with the children in a happy mood.

After lunch, Xie Hou took a few children to rest, and only Zhao Yanzhi and Xie Qing were left in the hall.Zhao Yanzhi asked in a vague way: "After seeing my sister and child, are you relieved?"

For the first time after Xie Qing came back, his hands shook.

"It's nothing, I didn't have time to tell Qing yesterday. You are tired from the journey, so you will rest in the palace for a few days; Chengming and Yu'er will take care of you, and you will stay in my bedroom, don't run around."

Xie Qing lowered his head, his fists in his wide sleeves were clenched white, his nails dug hard into his flesh.After a long time, Xie Qing replied calmly: "I obey the order, thank you for your majesty's understanding."

Zhao Yanzhi seemed very satisfied, he nodded and said: "Then Qing, go back first, I still have to say a few words to Zhonggong."
