After Shen Rui woke up, he didn't stay in Jiangling much. After a night of secret talks with Xingyi, he took a car back to Beijing the next day, and entrusted the informants in Jianghu to deliver a few letters.

No one knows the final destination of the letter, only the route of one of them was notified by the dead guard of the Jiangling City Lord's Mansion: it was sent to the palace, but the destination was not the Hall of Mental Cultivation where the officials were introduced, but to the government office. The "Three Divisions" in the east of the mansion hall.There are many people in the Forbidden City, and no one knows which department of rites, officials, and households the letter went to, but what is certain is that someone in the place closest to their majesty already knew about it. dark secret.

That night, Shen Rui said to Xing Yi: "It was your concubine mother and your younger brother who killed the people. Your majesty and concubine made many preparations in advance for the battle for the crown prince, but you were the only one who kept you in the dark. Now the whole country Metaphysics is a big practice, and the faction of the eldest son of the emperor will not be defeated. If he uses the name of the gods to make a comeback, it is still unknown who the master of the country will be. The reason why I dare to tell you is also because of your identity—of course, I also know Your Majesty is already very afraid of you, and you must be worried about it."

Xing Yi said: "The former empress and the eldest son of the emperor are already dead."

Shen Rui made a booing gesture to him: "I know you don't believe in ghosts and gods, and neither do you, but as long as the people in the world believe in them, then the dead can be said to be alive. You are all smart people, you don't understand the truth I don’t understand, if one day the power of the eldest son of the emperor comes back, there will be big changes in the Forbidden City.”

Xing Yi said: "You are also a smart person, so you will not be ignorant of the risks involved."

Shen Rui's voice was raised high, and he sarcastically said with sharp teeth: "I don't know? No, I know. I am the young minister of Dali Temple. The only thing I know from the beginning to the end is to thoroughly investigate the murder case. They don't know Let me investigate, I want to investigate, such a big living person, can't die in vain. Why can they treat human life as worthless, and why can they get away with being a wicked person? The emperor breaks the law, and he should be guilty of the same crime as the common people. This is true .”

He proudly took out the dossiers of his visits and investigations over the past few years, and showed them to Xing Yi like a treasure.

It is recorded in the file that when the empress suffered from typhoid fever, the prescription was replaced by a deadly poison.The first queen knew that someone had done something to her, but she didn't know how, but it was too late when she found out, and she was already terminally ill.

At that time, the eldest son of the emperor, Lin Zhao, was still a toddler. The late empress did not trust the late emperor, so she secretly contacted her natal family and sent the eldest son out of the palace overnight. Not left.The so-called "eldest son of the emperor" who was buried with the former empress was actually a pair of cat bones, which were raised by the former empress herself.During the fire, the cat accompanied the owner and refused to leave, so they burned into coke together.

The real emperor's eldest son, Lin Zhao, was taken away by one of the servants of the former empress when she was a girl. She changed her name and surname, and gave her a very down-to-earth name—"Hu Tianbao", with the word Huaifeng.The Hu family is doing business in Beijing, and they are first-class nouveau riche. With this down-to-earth name, Lin Zhao has become a lonely dandy. naivety.

Overall, there's nothing much wrong with it.There was only one thing that wasn't so good—after Lin Zhaohe lived to the end, he suddenly realized that he liked masculinity, so he even withdrew the marriage of a good daughter's family.

This man lived well to the age of 25, not knowing that he was actually of royal blood.After his adoptive father died of illness and there was no one at home, when he was preparing to move his family and leave the capital, he was killed by a young man sent by Shaodi.

There is no other way to use it, it is a rotten beauty trap.It was said that the young man was quite handsome, and he was a good dog beside the young emperor. Lin Zhao fell in love with him at first sight, and on the contrary, he lost his life.Until his death, this person did not know why he died.

Shen Rui said: "His fate is bad. When the fire was burned back then, the imperial concubine became suspicious, sent people to seal the city gate, and searched all the roads going out from the middle of the capital. It never occurred to them that they would dare to raise the eldest son of the emperor. Under the imperial city. His Highness has grown up to be 25 years old. Even if the throne is not his, he should live a comfortable life. It's a pity... he was still approached. After his death, he was splashed with a large basin of dirty water, saying that he was lewd Brave, reckless and idiotic, he failed to gain a good reputation, but was ridiculed by everyone. Those people really did bad things, and they didn't leave any room for them. They insisted that His Highness will not live in peace after death, leaving an unwarranted shame and infamy. "

After saying this, he was silent for a while.As if the inhuman experience had happened to him, twisting and twisting in his chest and abdomen, suppressing growth, and making people's eyes bloodshot.

After a while, Shen Rui said again: "I've said everything that needs to be said, thank you for saving your life. I came to Jiangling and wanted to find the old city lord of the Xie family, but unexpectedly he died in battle after years of no communication. He My son and that little military adviser still need more experience, so meeting you here can be regarded as a kind of fate, so I will tell you."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Xing Yi drew out his long sword to block his way, pursed his lips tightly: "You can't go back to Beijing."

Shen Rui paused and looked at him quietly: "My lord, what is loyalty? You can attack him without the right way. It turned out that King Ziyang, who made the enemy fearful, would only surrender at the feet of his own brother. barking dog?"

Xing Yi's eyes were cold: "It has nothing to do with this."

Shen Rui clapped his hands and said: "Then you are worried that the common people will fall into the disaster of war? My lord, if someone else has your status, if they know about such scandals as the royal family, the first thing they think of is probably to replace you. I misunderstood you, are you A heartless and heartless person."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple shook his head: "It doesn't mean anything at all."

His words and deeds have a somewhat crazy attitude. Xing Yi's sword stopped in front of him, and he didn't hide. Holding the blade with the backhand, bleeding came out: "I hate people who trample on people's lives the most in my life. I think that I am superior, so I can trample good people under my feet and play with the fate of others. Why should they? What should a dead person do?" Dead in vain? Why do they live well?"

A trace of sternness flashed in Xing Yi's eyes: "There is no fairness in the world. Haiyan Heqing was bought by others with blood. It is never a good idea to scrape bones to cure poison. Your Majesty has a vicious and suspicious temperament, and he is self-willed, but he never makes mistakes in governing the country." , the country is stable, why do you shake the foundation of the country?"

Shen Rui turned back and said: "Then, my lord, you just wait. Shen made a bet with you that this country can still move without him. Because the rumors are not false, the dead emperor's eldest son Lin Zhao is the real one. Come back, many people in southern Fujian are entrusted with dreams, saying that Lin Zhao became a god after his death. God and the emperor of the world, I bet the gods win."

There was frenzy and excitement in his eyes, like a hysterical patient: "He is a god now, he is back!"

……

Shen Rui finally left and hurried back to Beijing.

The young city lord and the little military adviser failed to ask Xing Yi, but a few days later, Xing Yi said to Little Phoenix: "Do you want to go to southern Fujian with me?"

Little Phoenix was a little curious: "Minnan?"

Xing Yi nodded, smiled and said: "Yes, it's different from our side. There is a masculinity prevailing there, and the relationship between men is recognized. There are many grown men who love each other, and they become brothers and live a lifetime."

Little Phoenix widened his eyes: "Is there such a place?"

Xing Yi reached out and touched his head: "Of course it's more than that. I had a big wedding with you in Jiangling and a big wedding in Miaojiang. You want to go to southern Fujian with me again. Bye Do you want to worship the Rabbit God over there?"

Little Fenghuang was confused by what he said: "What is the God of Rabbit? Is it the God of Master Rabbit? I only know that people who are good at masculinity are called rabbits, and those like us are rabbits. They say that a man who loves a man is a prostitute| chaos."

Xing Yi said: "That's about it. In recent years there has been a legend that there is a lustful rabbit in the capital, who yearned for a certain censor by himself, and peeped while the censor was in the toilet, so he was killed with a stick. The ghosts ridiculed this man after his death, and the Jade Emperor couldn't see him, so he made him a god, in charge of male-female affairs in the Yin Division, and shared the Taiyin title with the Moon Palace Jade Rabbit, called the Rabbit God."

"Is that so? Men and women have moon-lao temple worship. It seems that we should also go to the Rabbit Temple to worship, so that he will keep us inseparable forever." Little Phoenix was a little happy, and also looked forward to it, "But this rabbit The god is too miserable, is this considered a picked up god?"

Xing Yi rubbed his head again: "I don't know, my little lady."

Five days later, they set off for southern Fujian.

Little Fenghuang was very happy, because Fujian is also a fun place. He and Xingyi went to see the arcade together, went to listen to the Nanguan Opera, and watched the locals burn gold and worship the gods. The locals are masculine , A pair of men with intimate manners can be seen everywhere on the street, and others don't take it seriously.

On the first day they arrived in southern Fujian, they stayed in Quanzhou. Little Phoenix couldn't understand the local people's language. After learning Heluo dialect for a few days, he gave up. He relied on Xingyi for everything and followed him wherever he went. Instead, he looked like a child.Xing Yi would often hold his hand and walk down the street, while softly translating to him what the locals said, telling him stories, and telling him the customs of the place.

They also found the Rabbit God Temple. The legend about the Rabbit God has not been raised, so there are few temples, but there are still some.There is a statue of a man with a red face and a big belly, which is very happy.

At first, Xiaofenghuang and Xingyi were embarrassed to go in first, but seeing that the locals were accompanied by two men, they held hands and slipped in like thieves.Imitating the appearance of others to offer incense and worship is no different from other temples.

Little Phoenix whispered: "Why are the statues of gods so fat, round and happy? You see, the one above is a bit ugly. I don't know if the Rabbit God himself looks like this."

Xing Yi smiled: "He should be very handsome."

Little Phoenix believed it: "Really? Wei Jian, how did you know?"

Xing Yi smiled and said nothing.Fortunately, Xiao Fenghuang has never been in the nature of breaking the casserole and asking the end, his attention was easily diverted to other places, and he did not ask Xing Yi why he was so determined.

Xing Yi had seen the portrait of the first empress before, he was never acquainted with this unrelated concubine mother, but he had heard her story, and also heard a lot of trifles about her from the first emperor; love to laugh, His temperament is free and easy, and he does not stick to the love of his children, but acts like a gentleman.It is said that at that time, all the princes in the palace wanted the first queen to be their own mother and concubine, because she was also very good to the children.

He was different back then, what he thought was that other people's mother was not his own after all, no matter how good she was, he would not admit it.But his mother didn't love him, and the imperial concubine only saw the youngest son in her eyes.However, the concubine's precepts and deeds to her children are indispensable. He knew from a young age that his mother didn't like the first queen, so that fairy-like woman didn't get a good impression in his eyes.It wasn't until he grew up that he slowly got rid of this prejudice.

The first empress was very beautiful, it is said that she had a beautiful appearance, and the first emperor was also a jade tree facing the wind. Their remaining eldest son, the emperor, must also be a very good-looking person.He, his younger brother—the current His Majesty, were both handsome and handsome, with extraordinary majesty, and Lin Zhao must be the same.

And such a good person, just because he was born in the royal family, and just because he was loved by his father, he ended up dying.

Xing Yi recalled everything in the deep palace, looking at the statue of the Rabbit God with a playful smile in front of him, he suddenly felt a little tired.

He turned to look for his lover, and by accident, the two of them were kneeling quietly on the ground offering incense, but at this moment they both looked at each other in unison.Little Phoenix didn't notice the darkness in his eyes, but happily reached out and hooked his fingers.

He seemed to be whispering: "I made three wishes, Weiji, do you want to listen?"

Xing Yi covered his mouth: "It won't work if you say it, you can just shut up for me."

……

In the evening, Xing Yi told this story to Xiao Fenghuang, but simplified it a bit: "Once upon a time, there was a king of a border tribe who, in order to compete for the throne, killed his elder brother and his mother. Now someone knows What do you think about this matter, wanting to overthrow the old account and bring down the king who has done bad things?"

Little Phoenix has always been jealous of evil, without thinking about it, he patted the bed board and said: "Blood debt!"

Xing Yi smiled: "But if I tell you that the life of that country is stable now, the king is also very capable, he is serious about being a good king, if he dies, the country will fall into a big shock, many other Bad people will also take advantage of the chaos to do bad things, and when wars and man-made disasters come together, the people may not live in peace. At this time, what should we do?"

Xiao Fenghuang was stunned, he scratched his head, after thinking for a long time, he said: "It's so difficult."

Xing Yi sighed softly, pulled him into the quilt and wrapped him up: "I don't think it's difficult, Xiao Fenghuang, but there will be people who don't understand every step you take. If you want to be a villain, apart from being scolded a few times, It doesn't seem to have suffered too much."

Xiao Fenghuang asked in a low voice under the quilt: "Then Wei Jian, you must choose to protect the world, that is, to protect that scoundrel emperor?"

Xing Yi said: "Yes."

Xiao Fenghuang thought for a while, and felt a little embarrassed: "This is too difficult, Wei Jian, if I were the prince who was killed, or if I was a relative who loved and respected him very much, then I would come back to take revenge even if I turned into a ghost; you Having said that, I think you are also very reasonable. But no matter what, I support you."

He leaned over and buried his head in his arms.

Xing Yi looked down at the tuft of hair on the top of his head, and smiled silently.

He is not selfless.

The choice of this side is only because one of the people in the world who may be affected is his little phoenix.

……

Half a month later, they returned to Jiangling.

The young city lord of Jiangling returned from Beijing and sent a very brief letter:

Shen Rui, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was assassinated on his way back to Beijing and died.

The author has something to say:

Regarding the title of the characters, in terms of their current identities and time, it is wrong to call them "the first empress" and "the noble concubine", but in the words of the queen mother, two queen mother tablets should be separated to call them (the first emperor empress and the young emperor birth mother tablet) , it will be more messy, so that's it.
