Pei Gonggui

As soon as Jiang Yue's words came out, Pei Jun was startled suddenly:...Beheaded?

Pei Jun's last memory was broken when Jiang Yue knocked on the coffin and came back to life. Even if he was dead, Jiang Yue should think that he was killed by an arrow, but now Jiang Yue said that he died by beheading, which proves that he only knows the cause of his death in his previous life .

From this, it can be proved that what he is currently in is the time and space of the previous life, and the Jiang Yue in front of him must also be the Jiang Yue of the previous life!

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly ached, and before he could move, he already felt an extremely scorching heat from his palm to the god, like hot lava soaking into his limbs and bones.He only felt that the sensations all over his body were rushing towards him like thousands of horses, such as the hot and cold skin, the bitterness in his mouth, the astringent pain in his eyes and the fatigue all over his body.Gradually, he could even feel the wound on Jiang Yue's right chest that perfectly matched the place where he was shot by the arrow. For a moment, the pain made the back of his head feel cold, and he suddenly broke away from the hand held by the old shaman, and then held it firmly chest.

At this moment, the old shaman Bileg watched Jiang Yue's right hand break free, completely unbelievable. He knelt on the ground with trembling hands, looked at Jiang Yue in a daze and said, "Your Majesty, it's really...it's really him!"

Jiang Yue was shocked when he heard the words, and his eyes were instantly fogged up.He was about to sit up from the bed almost immediately, but when he moved, he touched the wound on his chest, causing Pei Jun in him to feel the pain tearing his chest together. At this time, the pain of the two souls finally came from the same mouth. , The same voice hummed, and Jiang Yue unconsciously covered the wound with his left hand.

Bileg's silver eyebrows sank, he held Jiang Yue's right arm, closed his eyes again and looked behind him and said, "Your Majesty, he can perceive your perception, and he seems to be able to hear and see what you hear and see."

Jiang Yue was taken aback for a moment: "You mean...he knows I'm in pain, that's why he..."

He slowly let go of his left hand, turned his head to look down at his right hand that was tightly covering his wound, his eyes were secretly startled, and he was busy lying back on the couch with the help of the eunuch beside him, not daring to move easily anymore, just asking Bi Le Ge Dao: "Then how does he look?"

Bilge and the eunuch helped him to lie down, then withdrew his hand and replied, "Your Majesty, his spirit is weak and he looks very disturbed."

Jiang Yue was puzzled: "Why are you weak?"

Bileg frowned and shook his head: "The old minister is not sure, I'm afraid that Alian's previous speculation is correct."

He turned his head and looked at the shaman girl who was still kneeling in the center of the inner hall, and said solemnly: "According to what Alian said three years ago - if Pei Jun's soul had found a new body that was more suitable for his soul to live in As the host, then the spirit summoning you want to complete with the spirit sacrifice technique will naturally be impossible to complete. The spirit sacrifice rituals performed by the old minister and A Lian for the emperor can only connect Pei Jun's soul to the emperor's body. As for when the emperor's wish will come true, it depends on when the physical body where Pei Jun's soul resides will die. In other words, the reason why Pei Jun's soul can come here at this moment..."

"Is it because his new body also died?" Jiang Yue sounded startled, "That's why I can be listed as his next choice?"

"No, it was the spirit sacrifice technique that imposed this choice on him, which is against the law of heaven, otherwise he would have escaped into reincarnation like all souls." Bileg said truthfully, "Of course, this is just the old minister's own deduction. It is possible for Pei Jun's physical body to perish or be close to death, otherwise he would not appear as weak as a newly dead soul. As for the truth, the Emperor Mo Ruo asked Pei Jun himself, presumably in this way... you can get the answer you have always wanted .”

"Answer……"

Hearing this, Jiang Yue looked at his right hand, his eyes fell on the scars on his palm, his brows frowned as if he had fallen into the deep river, he hesitated for a long time, then nodded lightly, then he took a deep breath, calmed his voice, closed his eyes and lightly Called out slowly and in a low voice:

"Pei Ziyu?"

After he called out, there was no reaction in his whole body. Just as he was about to call out again, his right hand suddenly trembled slightly.

Jiang Yue opened his eyes a little at once, his long eyelashes trembling slightly with unshed tears, and he choked up when he spoke again:

"Pei Ziyu, do you know who I am?"

The five fingers of the right hand did not move, as if to say no, but also seemed to just hold back.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue pretended that he didn't know it, so he raised his left hand and nodded at the corner of his eyes, ordering someone to fetch the bronze mirror from the side hall immediately.

Soon, the bronze mirror covered with sapphire blue fringed silk cloth was carried to the inner hall by two young eunuchs, and placed in front of Jiang Yue.The eunuch waved them away, and was raising his hand to remove the mirror cover for Jiang Yue, but Jiang Yue suddenly said: "Wait!"

The eunuch was taken aback, and looked at him: "Your Majesty?" Jiang Yue just raised his hand, frowned, and pushed his temple hair behind his ears.

Only then did the eunuch know what his master wanted, and he immediately picked up the gold gauze crown and ox horn comb on the wooden frame beside him, fastened Jiang Yue's hair with his hands and feet, and retreated away.Jiang Yue immediately looked at him as if asking questions, and before he said a word, he hastily nodded to Jiang Yue in a tacit understanding.

Jiang Yue seemed to be so relieved, he pursed his lips slightly, and said to the eunuch with determination: "Open the mirror."

For a moment, the sapphire blue silk cloth fell like running water, and the slightly yellowed bronze mirror reflected the figure in front of the mirror under the candlelight. Finally, through Jiang Yue's eyes, Pei Jun's soul saw what he thought could only stay in existence. In his previous life memory, that Jiang Yue who was misunderstood by him and struggled for 20 years, but finally summoned his soul no matter the cost.

At this moment, Pei Jun felt his eyes astringent, and even the tip of his nose was sore.In the mirror, Jiang Yue was still the Jiang Yue he remembered—brow eyebrows and eyes, mountain nose sandalwood mouth, eyelashes like wings, eyes like stars, but the handsomeness of that face was shattered by the years. The fine lines, the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes all have the vicissitudes of life that belong to the middle-aged people.On his head was a crown of jade bones and gold gauze, with gold engraved dragon patterns on it; he was wearing a gray and black crane cloak, which only made his severely injured face paler.All of this made Pei Jun extremely guilty and heartbroken.

Jiang Yue saw that his right hand was shaking and lifted up, and when the five fingers gradually touched his own face on the mirror, he started to rub it slowly, and finally it became trembling, and then used his finger as a pen to write two characters on the mirror road:

"Why?"

Jiang Yue seemed to be relieved, but also seemed to be disappointed and whispered: "For the people of the world, but also for myself. You are more suitable to be the emperor."

The right hand suddenly clenched into a fist, as if he didn't agree with what he said at all, and after a while he struggled to write another two words:

"cost?"

Jiang Yue rolled his lips dumbly, and said bitterly: "You don't need to know."

When Pei Jun heard the words, his heart ached like a twist, and he felt his eyes heat up, and two lines of tears had already flowed down Jiang Yue's cheeks.

Jiang Yue knew that he was not crying, so he knew that Pei Jun must be emotional.At this time, he naturally didn't know what Pei Jun's reincarnation was like. He only thought that Pei Jun's soul must still be regretting the severed head, and it was more likely that he felt humiliated for living in the body of his enemy. With tears in his eyes, Pei Jun sighed and said, "Don't worry, Pei Ziyu, since you're here, I'll have no regrets. As long as you complete the ceremony of summoning the soul, from now on you can start all over again with all your unfulfilled ambitions." , you can do things for the people as you want, I will never, and I will never interfere with you again, I just hope you can still remember the original agreement between the two of us..."

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that you have suffered, I'm afraid you will have to bear my face in the future."

"No! No! No..." Once Pei Jun guessed the price of the soul-calling ritual, his heart ached beyond measure, and he swiped his fingers desperately on the mirror, and after writing a few words, his five fingers became fists, and it was difficult to write other words.He wanted to shout, wanted to shout, wanted to wake up Jiang Yue, a lunatic, and wake up Jiang Yue, a fool, but he couldn't speak, couldn't get up, and was really anxious and painful for a moment.

The eunuch and Bileg who were on the side already showed mournful faces when they heard this, but Jiang Yue continued to look at the mirror calmly as if he had ordered the funeral, and said to Pei Jun, "Pei Ziyu, you don't have to be afraid that there will be no one in court. Believers. Although your old party is destroyed now, I have rehabilitated the Xiao family. Cai Yang, who ordered people to release rats in prison to harm you, was suppressed by Xiao Lin himself, and Cai Yan and Cai Yan have long since Wen Zhan, everything is thanks to the physical evidence that you exchanged your life for. The Zhang family’s school was sealed up by you, and its vitality has long been beyond what it used to be. Can let you rely on."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yue ordered in a deep voice: "I will pass on my will, and announce that the Taibao will see you."

"Yes." The chief eunuch wiped away his tears and replied, "Master Taibao heard that the emperor was assassinated, so he was waiting outside the palace early in the morning, and this servant is going to invite him in."

After a while, a short and thin figure followed the eunuch into the hall, and hurriedly invited the emperor Jin An behind the screen.

Jiang Yue called him in, and Pei Jun saw that the visitor had a thin face and narrow body, with white beard and hair. He looked about 30 years old, but he looked like he was about 40 years old.When his figure approached, Pei Jun recognized this person at a glance——

Fang Mingjue!

The moment this name appeared in Pei Jun's mind, a sharp pain hit his eye sockets: So Fang Mingjue really didn't die in his previous life!He thought, Fang Mingjue must have listened to him obediently until the end, even when he watched Yan Yuliang die and watched him die, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, and finally survived until he was rescued by Jiang Yue and handed over his love to Cai. All the unfavorable physical evidence, so far survived the catastrophe, and then went straight to the sky.

When the eunuch removed the bronze mirror and Fang Mingjue knelt in front of him wearing a Wen Yipin riding crane coat that was soaked in the drizzle, how much he wanted to blurt out his name, to go forward and hold his hand, But Fang Mingjue just kowtowed to him solemnly and solemnly, no longer smiling like before, and no longer jokingly said: "My minister is late, please forgive me. Is the emperor still in serious trouble?"

"I'm fine."

Jiang Yue answered briefly, only to feel that his right hand had picked up the brocade cloth on the couch, and clenched it tightly, he could not help but sigh softly, after thinking about it, the other party Mingjue said: "I called you here because I want to hear Listen to how the preparations for the school hall are going."

Fang Mingjue was stunned: "Reporting to the emperor, the Taiping Kingdom sent an envoy to give advice on the matter of the Xueziguan, as well as the precedent of the Siziwu as a lesson, and now it is being prepared by the Hexi Mei family and the Tengzhou Li family, and it is very smooth." He said. Here he frowned, a little puzzled: "The emperor should rest more if he is sick. Since this matter cannot be completed in three to five days, I have my ministers to prepare for it carefully. The emperor does not need to worry about it."

"So what about the revision of the law?" Jiang Yue asked again, "You mentioned that you will establish a supervisory censor in each prefecture. Has the Ministry of Officials drawn up a roster?"

"Report to the emperor, it has been drafted." Fang Mingjue answered this matter, brows darkened and said, "Actually, this policy was proposed by Taifu Pei for the unjust, false and wrong case of Fangfu Road. It should be established, Yan Shangshu roughly listed it before he was alive, but the ministers can't remember it all...Three years of extermination of the Cai Clan's remnant party has involved a lot, and some people who should be used should not be used, and this has been delayed until now. When he got here, he sighed bitterly, "It would be great if Grand Tutor Pei and Yan Shangshu could see the present grand scene..."

Then Jiang Yue asked a few more questions, while Fang Mingjue was still chattering, when he accidentally raised his head to look at Jiang Yue, Fang Mingjue suddenly showed a look of panic on his face, and hurriedly lowered his head and prostrated himself on the ground, shouting, "I will die!"

Jiang Yue wiped his face, only then did he realize that he was crying.

When Fang Mingjue was leaving, Jiang Yue stopped him, told the eunuch to report to the House of Internal Affairs, rewarded Fang Mingjue with a lot of things, and ordered someone to bring him an embroidered umbrella with purple wild goose tassels, so that he would not get caught in the rain when he returned. .

Pei Jun watched Fang Mingjue's back disappear at the gate of the palace. Seeing that the eunuch moved the bronze mirror back to Jiang Yue, he raised his hand and wrote two words on the mirror again:

"Pei Yan?"

Jiang Yue recognized these two characters and knew that Pei Jun was thinking about his sister, so he answered him: "The Cai family fell, Jiang Xi got involved in it and lost his title, the people in the mansion scattered and fled, and your sister also went out of the city Jingshui nunnery. I heard not long ago that she has shaved her hair and become a nun."

Hearing this, a huge emptiness and melancholy spread in Pei Jun's chest. Even though he understood that Pei Yan was doomed to be lonely in this life, it was difficult for him to calm down the guilt in his heart when he learned of the ending.He thought of Pei Yan who was still suffering in prison in the next life, and Jiang Xuan who was still trapped in the palace. This was what made him most unable to let go...

No, no, there's Jiang Yue...and his Jiang Yue.If his Jiang Yue was still the same Jiang Yue, then Jiang Yue would definitely do stupid things to summon his soul after seeing him die. He would never let Jiang Yue bear the unimaginable consequences again.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Yue in the mirror for a long time, raised his finger and wrote, "Paper and pen."

Only then did Jiang Yue come to his senses and ordered the eunuch, "Hurry up, prepare a pen and paper."

After a while, the eunuch came in with a tray of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, helped Jiang Yue to sit up slowly, set up a low table on Jiang Yue's lap, and handed the soft pen to Jiang Yue's right hand.

Jiang Yue saw that his right hand held the pen in a slightly different posture than usual, dipped in the ink, and after a while, quickly wrote lines of thin and pale handwriting on the paper, he couldn't help being a little surprised—— I thought that Pei Jun was just calling for letter paper to facilitate conversation with him, but the clinker Pei Jun suddenly spilled out on the paper, and he had already written four or five pages. Turning red, he wanted to open his mouth several times to ask questions, but saw that his right hand was continuing to write continuously, so he knew that what Pei Jun wrote with his hand was not a joke.

Pei Jun concentrated on writing quickly, and wrote all the strategies for benefiting the people that he remembered in his mind to Jiang Yue, and also wrote several properties and people he had hidden outside the capital, and told Jiang Yue, He already knew Jiang Yue's feelings for him over the years, and he was blind to see Jiang Yue's goodness. Jiang Yue had done nothing wrong, and it was no longer worthwhile to pay for him like this.

Jiang Yue was too startled when he saw this, and was about to ask him out loud, but he saw that Pei Jun had already written the next sentence:

"Jiang Yue, I know you must have many questions for me right now, but I don't know if I can stay here for a long time..."

Jiang Yue was stunned when he saw the words, his nose turned red and he said, "Where are you going?"

Pei Jun held the soft brush, hesitated for a moment, and finally just wrote two indifferent words on another piece of snow-white rice paper:

"Afterlife."
