Non-dye Emperor Jingchen

Chapter 20

? After the marriage was bestowed, Zhao Xihuai never met Yang Ziya in private again. What he cared more about was the current court situation.

Zhao Lingcang still stayed in the capital and did not return to the fief.Although he hasn't done anything yet, I'm afraid that in the near future... Zhao Lingcang's hatred for Yan Kingdom...

There was also Chu Jingchen, although Zhao Xihuai had never seen him again, nor heard any news about him from other people, but he was still a little uneasy.

Time passed quickly, and it was the day of Yang Ziya's wedding in a blink of an eye.During the ceremony, not only the royal guard of honor was used correctly, but also the royal band and the guard of honor accompanying it.Ji Mingwan, the daughter of Zhongshuling Ji Yu, rides in a car that is even more gorgeous and extraordinary, which has attracted a lot of discussion.

Yang Shu looked at his indifferent younger brother, and said with a smile: "I heard that the daughter of the Ji family took the car today, but she hated the car. The emperor loves you very much."

The Yandi chariot is exactly the chariot decorated with pheasant bird feathers. Since ancient times, only concubines in the harem can use it.Zhao Xihuai's move can be regarded as expressing to everyone the weight of Yang Ziya in his heart.

"The Emperor is here."

During the worship, Zhao Xihuai would definitely come in person. Seeing the smile on the new emperor's tired face, Yang Ziya felt even more pain in his heart, and followed everyone to respectfully salute Zhao Xihuai.

Zhao Xihuai stepped forward to personally help him and Ji Mingwan up, and without saying anything, he sat on the main seat.

Yang Ziya's eyes never moved away from Zhao Xihuai's body, but Zhao Xihuai turned a deaf ear to his gaze, and only smiled and said something and began to worship.

One worships the high hall, the second worships the heaven and the earth, and the husband and wife worship each other.Yang Ziya felt like a puppet, and the person who pulled the lead was Zhao Xihuai.

With the emperor present, they did not dare to drink too much wine to Yang Ziya, they sent the couple to the bridal chamber after a few drinks, and Zhao Xihuai had already driven back to the palace.

Zhuo Jing respectfully stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, it's still early in the morning, and there are still some imperial edicts in the Imperial Study Room, do you think so?"

"Not going," Zhao Xihuai waved his hand wearily, "Go straight back to the bedroom."

Zhao Xihuai felt that he was very tired, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at all.The one Yang Ziya is holding in his arms must be that woman.

But it was the marriage edict written by himself, and he put Yang Ziya's hand on another woman's hand.He knew that Yang Ziya was suffering, but why didn't he feel uncomfortable?

Just as he was thinking wildly, a familiar voice came from outside the window.It was Chu Jingchen's favorite piece of music to play on weekdays.

Zhao Xihuai put on some clothes and got up, and asked: "Who is blowing the xun outside?

"Slaves, let's go take a look."

"No need," Zhao Xihuai pushed open the door, and the attendant hurriedly put on the fox fur cloak for him, "I'll go and see for myself."

The person who came was Chu Jingchen, wearing a black night clothes, sitting on the roof of the palace and playing music unscrupulously.

Seeing Zhao Xihuai coming following the sound, he jumped down from the roof, and performed lightness kung fu to bring Zhao Xihuai to the roof as well.

The attendant who followed was startled, and was about to shout that there was an assassin, but was stopped by Zhao Xihuai: "You guys wait below."

"Your Majesty, do you know what this piece of music is?"

Zhao Xihuai shook his head.

"The name of this song is Jiang Hai Yu Sheng. It was composed by the ancients who were inspired by the tide. It is also your father's favorite song."

"Father... what kind of person is he?"

Chu Jingchen smiled: "I don't know. During the many years he left, I would look at his portraits every once in a while. But it was useless. I gradually forgot his face, his His voice, his every move."

"Maybe this is a side effect of Wuwanggong?"

"Probably." Time did not leave a trace on Chu Jingchen's face, "but I will always remember that I love him. And when you see Yang Ziya getting married, your heart won't feel any better."

Zhao Xihuai smiled wryly: "But for all of this, is there any other way?"

"That's right," Chu Jingchen sighed, and stood up, "The Emperor is free to care about Yang Ziya, why don't you care more about King Wu's movements."

"what do you mean...."

"Based on what I have known about him for many years, as long as the Yan Kingdom survives, he will not let go. And the current state of the treasury, the emperor must be clearer than me."

Not long after the conversation with Chu Jingchen, a major incident occurred in the court.

"Yongzhou Taishou Yujian surrendered to the Yan Kingdom?" Zhao Xihuai was full of anger, "It took a month for such a big thing to reach my ears. How did you ever take me seriously?"

I saw all the ministers knelt down, and only Zhao Lingcang dared to speak out: "The emperor calms down, and I can't blame them for this matter. The boundary of Yongzhou has already been firmly controlled by Yu Jian. It is understandable that the communication is slow." Original."

Zhao Xihuai snorted coldly: "Then what should I do now? Dear lovers, give me a way to have both."

Yang Cheng came out and replied: "I don't know what happened in Yongzhou City, the emperor should not act rashly."

Zhao Lingcang sneered and said, "Aren't we afraid of the barbarians of Yan Kingdom?"

Zhao Xihuai had a headache even more, and retreated after saying a few hasty words.

After returning to the inner hall, Feng Nange was already waiting here.

"How is Yu Jie?"

"Go back to the emperor, Master Yu is missing."

"Missing, such a big thing...how did you find out now?"

Feng Nange said: "Returning to the emperor, Yu Jian returned to Yan Kingdom one month later, and we were still in contact with Lord Yu at that time. According to him, this is a trick to assassinate Ning Zhou. But until yesterday , we discovered that it was not Mr. Yu himself who had been in contact with the dark guard in the past month."

"What is this Yu Jian...what is he going to do? All right, you can step down too. Zhuo Jing, call Yang Ziya into the palace tonight."

At night, Yang Ziya took a towel and gently wiped off the water stains on Zhao Xihuai's feet, and then gently kneaded them.

Zhao Xihuai was a little different: "Where did you learn this?"

"Mr. Chen, he even instructed me specifically." Yang Ziya looked at the scar on his foot, and was a little dazed again.

Zhao Xihuai smiled and said, "How long has it been?"

"It's only been a year..." Yang Ziya hugged Zhao Xihuai into his arms, and sighed, "In just one year, so many things have happened."

"Well... how are you getting along with the daughter of the Ji family?"

Yang Ziya laughed: "Speaking of this well, didn't you give it to me?"

Zhao Xihuai didn't answer, but hugged Yang Ziya even tighter.It was strange for these two people to say that they were heartbroken on the day of their wedding, but after a few days they reconciled as if nothing had happened.

It's just that some things are buried after all.Zhao Xihuai simply changed the subject: "There is something strange about the Yongzhou incident, and I am a little worried."

Yang Ziya asked: "If it is really necessary to send troops, who does the emperor want to send?"

Zhao Xihuai shook his head: "It's late at night, go to sleep."

The next day, Zhao Xihuai was approving the memorial, but Zhuo Jing handed him another bowl of porridge.

He asked casually, "Is it snowing outside?"

"Exactly."

Zhao Xihuai put down his pen and said, "Let's go for a walk."

Zhuo Jing said: "Long Live Lord, there is so much snow outside, it's still..."

Zhao Xihuai walked out without even looking at him.

The auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year.Zhao Xihuai stretched out his hand, looking at the traces of snowflakes melting on his fingers.The snow scene in the palace, with the green tiles and red walls, is really beautiful.

Zhuo Jing followed behind and said softly: "There is a plum garden over there in Yuchen Palace, if the emperor is interested, you might as well go and have a look."

Zhao Xihuai still ignored him, and fell into deep thought alone in the snow.

Zhao Lingcang seems to be pressing harder and harder. If he insists on not sending troops, I'm afraid... but employing people... there is really no one available.

Chaotang still hasn't got rid of the chaos left by Ning Zhou. Although some remnants of the party have been wiped out, there is still a shortage of manpower, and they have to start preparing for next year's spring exam.

It wasn't until Zhuo Jing couldn't bear the cold that he said, "Go back to the palace."

On November 24th of the first year of Tiancheng, Zhao Xihuai made a very important decision.He decided to go to the battlefield in person to recover the lost land in Yongzhou.

The emperor is probably crazy?This is the idea of ​​the ministers.

Zhao Lingcang was also taken aback by this decision, and said: "It seems that it is the end of the year, you can discuss the manpower, the body of the emperor's daughter is still..."

Zhao Xihuai was expressionless: "I have made up my mind, so there is no need for the emperor to say more."

As soon as he came down to court, Feng Nange hurried to see Zhao Xihuai: "Your Majesty, my subordinates found Yu Jie in the weeds in the eighteen miles of the capital."

Zhao Xihuai's face remained unchanged: "Take me to see him."

He followed Feng Nange all the way out of the palace, and when he arrived at an ordinary hut, someone came out to report: "Master Yu has woken up, fortunately, Imperial Physician Chen came in time.

Zhao Xihuai opened the door and went in, Yu Jie was still lying on the bed, and Chen Muxiang was prescribing a prescription, seeing that it was the emperor who came, she hurriedly put down her pen to pay her respects.

"How is Master Yu?"

Chen Muxiang replied: "It's okay, it's just that I lost a lot of blood, and I need to rest for a while."

Zhao Xihuai nodded: "Go down first."

Yu Jie's weak voice sounded from the bed: "Your Majesty... the one who surrendered to the Kingdom of Yan...is not my father."

Zhao Xihuai asked doubtfully, "What's the meaning of this?"

"After I arrived in Yongzhou that day, I found that the inspections by the soldiers at the city gate were abnormal, and people were arrested by the government from time to time. I was puzzled, and after sneaking into the prefect's mansion, I found out...that prefect is no longer my father."

"What does that mean?"

Yu Jie smiled bitterly: "My father may have been killed by those thieves... I fled from Yongzhou all the way back to the capital, and I was chased by assassins on the way. Fortunately, I was discovered by Mr. Feng, otherwise... .”

Zhao Xihuai said: "Don't worry about this matter, I will return General Yu's innocence. You should take good care of your wounds here first, and you will be useful later."

Yu Jie sighed in his heart: "Caomin thanked His Majesty on behalf of father."

After all, Zhao Xihuai, the emperor, still has power in his hands.Who is the prefect of Yongzhou, how the crime should be convicted, and how the merit should be rewarded, as long as it is not too much, it is all up to him alone.

Naturally, Yu Jian was shaped into a heroic image who would rather die than surrender to be murdered by thieves, and he was awarded several levels.When Yu Jie heard the news from Chen Muxiang, his expression was still calm, showing no joy or anger.

Although it has been closed in recent years, Zhao Xihuai has such a temperament that he will not listen to anyone who persuades him, and insists on personally conquering Yongzhou at this time.Yang Ziya, as a big celebrity by his side, naturally wanted to follow.

On the day of his departure, Yang Ziya was still worried about the bitter cold of Yongzhou, which could not be missing, which made Zhao Xihuai laugh.

Sitting in the carriage, Yang Ziya was still muttering to himself: "Isn't it okay to spend a good year in the capital, the emperor has to go in person."

Zhao Xihuai said with a smile: "Look at you, there is no such thing as a servant of Zhongshu, but he is similar to a concubine in the palace. Besides, this is not the first time."

Yang Ziya said: "Aren't I just worried about you, your health is not good, and now Chu Jingchen is not by your side...Ming Shen, I can't live without you anymore."

Zhao Xihuai hummed lightly: "I'm a little sleepy, I want to sleep first."

Yang Ziya hugged him into his arms, and carefully put the fox fur coat on him, lest he catch a cold.

Along the way, he finally reached Yongzhou by bumps and bumps. He said it was a personal conquest, but in fact Zhao Xihuai's life was much easier than in the palace.The few generals under Yu Jie are enough to deal with a Yongzhou.

Yang Ziya's initial worries had completely disappeared, and he even began to suspect that Zhao Xihuai came to Yongzhou to relax.No matter what those generals reported, Zhao Xihuai's attitude seemed to be the same.You can do whatever you want.

It seems that Yan Guo didn't have any heart in Yongzhou, but in just half a month, the Yongzhou prefect who claimed to be Yu Jian was tied up in front of Zhao Xihuai.

Zhao Xihuai glanced at the man, took a sip of goat milk without haste, and then said, "Tell me, who are you?"

The man looked at Zhao Xihuai and Yang Ziya with disdain, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Baiyun's whip fell at the sound: "The emperor asked you something."

The man snorted coldly: "What emperor, he's just a lowly bastard who crawls under a man."

Yang Ziya couldn't bear it anymore, he almost drew his sword and was about to kill this person on the spot.

Zhao Xihuai motioned to Lu Baiyun to stop him, and then ordered his subordinates: "Take this man away, and don't ask me how to deal with it anymore."

Yang Ziya said angrily: "Your Majesty, this person has slandered you so much...how can we relieve my hatred if I don't cut him into pieces."

Zhao Xihuai wanted to laugh, "Forget it, I don't want to get my hands dirty. But since Yongzhou has been recovered, my vacation should be over."

Yang Ziya frowned: "If the emperor is interested, it is also possible to go to the south of the Yangtze River for a visit."

Zhao Xihuai didn't say anything, the young emperor's handsome face showed no joy or anger. ?
