The world is ever-changing, who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was so beautiful a few months ago, would become a cold corpse today.The courtiers bowed their heads and bowed to the man standing quietly in front of the hall, knowing that this would be the next emperor of the Yong Dynasty, the one who would rule their fate.

The torrential rain that lasted for several days stopped on the second day, washing away all the blood.After the rain, the sun cleared and the warm sun shone again. The rain in all parts of Chang'an City was completely wiped out. Everything was the same as before, but completely different.

After passing on the secret history of the palace for several days, the people returned to ordinary life. They didn't care who the person sitting on the throne was, and they didn't care whether he was justified. They only cared about whether that person could feed them. , live a peaceful life.The storytellers in the teahouse recently earned two or three times their normal income, and they attracted a large group of tea drinkers with the news about the deposed prince and the new emperor who came from nowhere.They were well-informed, and pulled out all the slandering of the Shangguan family that had been submerged for decades, and spit was flying all over the place, vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

The majestic and luxurious Daming Palace has returned to its inviolable status after being slaughtered day and night.The courtiers knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to crown the new emperor.After a set of complicated and trivial etiquette, even Iron Man was sweating from exhaustion.

Zhao Xu had the crown studded with jade beads and gold grains on his head, his neck was sore, and he was dizzy.After all the ceremonies were held at noon, there was no leisure time.

Xu Jingyan saw him enter the inner hall holding his neck, and followed him in quietly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Xuping, who was dressed in bright yellow, stepping away from the servants.

Xu Jingyan was used to pestering Zhao Xu, so the people around Zhao Xu would let him go immediately when they saw him. Zhao Xu was often taken aback by his sudden appearance behind his back.

For example, now.As soon as he turned his head, Zhao Xu caught a glimpse of a black figure in front of the screen, hurriedly raised his airs again, and straightened his back.Seeing him like this, Xu Jingyan couldn't help but burst out laughing.Identify people by sound, and know who they are without looking at their faces.

Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, continued to remove the heavy crown on his head, and said, "What are you here for?"

"I came to see His Majesty on purpose." Xu Jingyan said with a smile.

"speak politely."

Zhao Xu turned his neck intently.

"I just came to tell you about who... um, Zhou Cangran." Xu Jingyan looked a little awkward, he hesitated for a long time and didn't get to the point: "You don't know, last time I went to see him, how much he cried Ugly. I fought with him so many times since I was a child, but I have never seen him cry. A big man still cries..."

Xu Jingyan originally came to chat with him, and while talking, his voice was muffled, thinking of the scene of the past few days, his eyes became wet for some reason.

Zhao Xu knew why he came here, so he didn't speak.

As an accomplice, the Zhou family was punished for the crime of treason, and among the three families, they were asked to be executed after autumn.Zhou Ming was extremely calm when he saw the soldiers surrounding the Zhou residence.Without resistance or intercession, they followed the officials obediently into the dungeon.On the third day after the incident, the Zhou family father and son in prison said they wanted to see him, so Zhao Xu went.What Zhou Ming gave him was an iron coupon of Danshu.Danshu iron coupon is equivalent to a life without taboos.

What they exchanged was Zhou Cangran.

Zhao Xu didn't know how Zhou's father and son felt, but Zhou Haoran remained calm from the beginning to the end, and didn't feel that his father was partial.Zhou Haoran said, when Cang Ran came back, please tell him that his brother and father are gone from now on, so take care of yourself.Zhou Cangran told Zhao Xu that although their Zhou family had done all kinds of evil things, Zhou Cangran was the only one who was innocent.He never let him do anything against his will.

After Zhou Cangran came back, the Zhou Mansion was sealed, but he still didn't know it.

Zhao Xu didn't go to see him, but let Xu Jingyan go and tell him what Zhou Haoran said.

Xu Jingyan's eyes were red when he came back, Zhao Xu didn't ask, he didn't say anything, he held back until today and finally talked to him.

Xu Jingyan talked for a long time, incoherently.He said that although Zhou Cangran looked like he didn't care much about anything, he cared about his brother, so he must be very sad now.He said that Zhou Cangran was a very nice person, very loyal to his friends, open-minded and straightforward... He racked his brains and said all the words he could think of to praise Zhou Cangran.Finally, he asked pitifully, "Brother Xu, can you stop letting him go to the border?"

Seeing his expectant gaze, Zhao Xu couldn't help smiling wryly.

"You think it's because I remember my old grudge and want to drive him to that bitter cold place?"

Xu Jingyan shook his head again and again, but hesitated.

Zhao Xudao: "He is going by himself."

For most people, the most ideal place to live is high-ranking officials, rich salary, and prosperous smoke and willows, but for some people, they are more used to the cold and lonely border, where they ignite their blood and guard the country they are loyal to. and the people.
