Thinking

Chapter 109 Jiang Liang

"If you have anything, just pass the news to Lieshan Beizong." Yuan Feng left a gold order to Qi Si, and Qi Si knew that he kept people from Lieshan Beizong by his side.

Dai Qin was dressed in a black military robe, hung his epee on the saddle, turned on the horse, covered his face with a scarf, the long scar running through his eyes and cheeks could not conceal the warm smile in his eyes: "There will be a period later."

Qi Si saw them off, and when he returned to the palace, Emperor Su seemed to be waiting for him, put down his teacup and looked at him, half-jokingly said: "The last time I saw you look like this was after Lu Yingqiu left."

Qi Si laughed and said, "Your Majesty understands me best."

King Rong took a closer look: "Your Highness has changed a lot in the past few years, but some things have never changed."

Those who should come always come back, Qisi asked Jiang Xunyan what he meant, and on the fifteenth day of the new year, Emperor Su asked Qisi: "It will be four years in a blink of an eye. When you first came, you always wanted to go back. Now?"

Qi Si stood on the porch, the winter sun shone on his face, as if a halo had been cast on his face: "Speaking of which, Changyu City must be more like home than Jiangliang City, but I can't spend my whole life under His Majesty's protection. There's always something to do."

"Go back to Jin?" Emperor Su smiled knowingly.

Qi Si nodded, then shook his head: "Go back to Jiangnan."

His smile was a bit unreal under the sunlight. Emperor Su looked at him, and the old man's voice and smile suddenly flashed, and he couldn't help but pause. After a while, his eyebrows stretched, and he nodded: "Jiangnan."

Sudi agreed to Qisi so simply, which was really unexpected, because Jiang Xunyan said that Sudi originally planned to let Qisi stay in Yan State for at least five years, not only for Qisi's plan, but also because it took five years to reset the plan. The relationship between Yan, Jin, and Great Liang.

This matter also caused a lot of controversy in the DPRK, but the last time the Yan State and the Great Liang Alliance sent troops, it was actually the result of Li Cen and the Pei family secretly manipulating the situation. From this point of view, there is really no need to forcefully keep the hostages in Yan. In the end, there was no voice of opposition.

In the beginning of spring, Qi Si went to see Kong Yu and Cao Lumin. Kong Yu was supposed to enter the imperial court this year. Cao Lumin was very reluctant to part with him, and told him to send news to his bank account after he returned, and Qi Si comforted him for a while.

The ice and snow have just melted, and we set off when we are thinking about it. When we come, we are alone, and when we go back, we are easy to drive. When we parted, Emperor Su said: "If you don't like staying there, come back."

Jiang Xunyan smiled and said, "The courtyard of the Xiangfu and the Jingyun Hall in the palace are always reserved for you."

Qi Si was naturally very moved, and said with a smile: "If I continue talking, I will be reluctant to leave."

Emperor Su sent Xiao Zhi to escort him all the way away from Yan, and Jiang Xuan went out of the city with them, going to Saibei, and parted outside the city, one south and one north.

"I don't know how long this trip will take." Qi Si and Xiao Zhi rode side by side, and Xiao Zhi followed behind.

Xiao Zhi looked at him, with a slight smile in his eyes: "I remember you always said before, it's the same everywhere."

Thinking back to the beginning, when Xiao Zhi found himself for the first time and rescued himself, looking at the present now, he always feels like a lifetime away.

Along the road when he came four years ago, from Changyu to Nanyang Chengguan, Lu Yingqiu had already been waiting here.

Lu Yingqiu sent Qisi here with Xuanjia of the State of Jin in the past, and now he is welcoming him back to the court, and Qisi is stationed outside Wuling Pass.

Looking back at the gate of Nanyang City, Xiao Zhi was sitting on the horseback, his handsome and handsome figure remained the same, behind him the shadow guards of the Xiao family waited quietly,

Silently bid farewell to the Prince of Jin.

Lu Yingqiu was wearing armor. The past few years hadn't changed him, as if time had only acted on Qi Si, his transformation was astounding.

people.

"Your Majesty may not recognize you when he sees you." Lu Yingqiu thought about it carefully.

Qi Si smiled, and looked back at the group of Xuanjia soldiers behind him. They were all well-trained, calm and full of strength, with extraordinary momentum.

Lu Yingqiu also looked back and said, "Zhaowu Xuanjia—His Royal Highness, this is General Rui Chu's former subordinate."

"Zhaowu Xuanjia." Qi Si said.

Rui Chu once commanded an army of 50 during his lifetime, 12 of which were trained and inherited by the Rui family from generation to generation, named "Zhaowu Xuanjia".

However, as soon as the hero died, the battle of Duanyan Pass and Rui Chu's death ended an era.

Lu Yingqiu used to be Rui Chu's deputy general and took over part of Zhaowu Xuanjia, but due to Rui Chu's various crimes, this army has been dispersed to the Western Army's camp and various departments, and it is no longer the glory of the past.

If Emperor Hongjia and Lu Yingqiu hadn't insisted, the name Zhaowu Xuanjia would have been erased from now on.

Hearing the steady hooves of the cavalry behind him, Qi Si was full of thoughts.

"Think long-term." Lu Yingqiu said softly.

At this time, Changyu City of Yan Kingdom is still expected to be chilly and cold in spring, but Jiangliang, the capital of Jin Kingdom, is already warm in spring.

Along the way, I gradually returned to the south of the Yangtze River. Since I was born, the time of more than ten years has become strange in a blink of an eye.

The waterways run through the inside and outside of Jiangliang City, with black tiles and white walls, and it is still prosperous, just like the war in the north could not affect it at all.

In the same deep courtyard of the imperial palace, the palace in Jiangliang is much more lively than that in Yan Kingdom. He is a prince, and the harem is not empty. Wherever he goes, there are always young palace people joking and joking in the courtyard with partition walls.

But Qi Si missed Emperor Su all of a sudden, those solemn and quiet palaces, tall buildings, and the halls and study rooms where Emperor Su often stayed, that kind of peace and quiet was far warmer than the false bustle in front of him.

Lu Yingqiu accompanied him, and the palace servants guided him all the way to the main hall.

Several important officials in the court and Emperor Hongjia were there, and Qi Si glanced at him. Emperor Hongjia was still brave and majestic, and his eyes were extremely intimidating.

All the ministers in the hall saluted: "Welcome Your Highness to return to court."

"Father." Without hesitation, Qi Si saluted Emperor Hongjia smoothly according to the regulations. He was slender, with a jade-like face, and his every move had a dignified demeanor, which was indescribably good-looking.

"It's good to grow up." Emperor Hongjia said with a smile, and asked Qi Si to go forward.

With a smile on his face, Qi Si walked up to Emperor Hongjia, who got up and looked at him: "I was still a child when I left."

"It's been four years, and it's inevitable that there will be big changes." Qi Si said.

Prime Minister Lin Yu said: "Your Majesty is a talented person with extraordinary bearing. It is the blessing of Jin Kingdom to return safely this time."

Lin Yu, standing in the past, is elegant and modest, with a thin body, always calm and calm, looks easy to talk, but he is a man of the Jin Dynasty.

Only Emperor Hongjia and Lu Yingqiu knew the identities of Qi Si and Yu Ke, and Emperor Hongjia was not sticking to one pattern. He did a good job of being a kind and loving father, and Qi Si cooperated very well. It was just a sense of absurdity. Has been haunting my mind.

Several ministers greeted Qisi, and retreated in a timely manner. Emperor Liu Hongjia and the sixth prince who had been living abroad for many years and went to Yan as a hostage talked about their father-son relationship alone.

As soon as the people retreated, the hall seemed empty, Lu Yingqiu presented the documents to Emperor Hongjia, and Emperor Hongjia signaled Qi Si and Lu Yingqiu to take their seats.

"You've done a good job." Emperor Hongjia said, looking at Qisi who was sitting like a bamboo.

Qisi Yili: "It's all a matter of duty."

Emperor Hongjia waved his hand: "Now you are the sixth prince, let's talk about it, what are your plans?"

Lu Yingqiu remained calm, but paused in his heart. Emperor Hongjia knew about Qi Si's life experience from the very beginning, but he didn't know that Qi Si had already learned about it. The situation now is very delicate.

Fortunately, in this case, Qisi actually took the initiative.

"It's a very important matter. I... how can the grassroots make the decision? Naturally, I have to listen to your majesty." Qi Si lowered his head and replied very modestly.

Emperor Hongjia was quite satisfied, looked at Lu Yingqiu, and said: "This child is very good."

Lu Yingqiu's heart was hanging and hanging, but he didn't reveal the slightest thing. He replied: "Yes, I grew up with a humble job, and I grew up with a steady and peaceful mind. This kind of heart is rare."

Emperor Hongjia pondered for a moment, and every moment of time made Qisi feel long. Emperor Hongjia had a martial temperament, and his methods were decisive. Perhaps a single thought could make Qisi lose his freedom forever.

"Three years ago, after Xun Shu came back, he went out of the palace to set up a mansion. Last year, he was crowned king. He was the seventh child. Now you are the sixth child. Naturally, you should also have a title. So you became King Huai, and the Ministry of Rites went to make preparations." Preparations." Emperor Hongjia said.

Yu Xunshu was the name Yu Ke used when he returned to the court. Qi Si stayed in Yan Kingdom for him and took over his name and identity. Emperor Hongjia let him go back with this new identity.

Both Qi Si and Lu Yingqiu were surprised that Emperor Hongjia wanted him to continue acting all the way, follow the role of the prince and become a prince all the way?

Qi Si hesitated for a moment, did not answer immediately, and then stood up and saluted: "Let Your Majesty make arrangements."

Emperor Hongjia asked him to lie down, looked at Qi Si, and said: "After all, you have made great contributions to my country of Jin, and you are a prince, so you should treat it like this, and you will still do your duty well in the future, and you will never treat me badly. you."

Qi Sixin understood, this is going along with the flow, let him be an idle prince for a lifetime, of course, this "lifetime" cannot be a real lifetime, even if Emperor Hongjia pays attention to benevolence and righteousness, then the next person to sit on the throne must be will not tolerate him.

But right now, this step is not bad, Qisi thanked him, Lu Yingqiu left the palace after he was reinstated, and it was inconvenient for Qisi to have too much contact with him, but fortunately, he said what he had to say along the way, and followed the palace. Go down to rest and temporarily live in the palace.

Qisi rested peacefully in the palace for three days, and Emperor Hongjia would come every day, showing his kindness and filial piety.

On the third day, Qisi stayed peacefully and a little bored in the palace where he lived temporarily, but a guest came.

"King An is here—"

King An is the eldest prince, and when he entered the palace today, Emperor Hongjia happened to be busy, so he couldn't get away for a while, so he got up on a whim to meet the emperor's younger brother whom he had never met before.

He didn't know what happened to Jisi, but Emperor Hongjia didn't forbid others to come to see Jisi, which was a bit unexpected.

King An was five or six years older than Qi Si, and he didn't look much like Emperor Hongjia, he looked like a literati with a kind face, presumably more like his mother and concubine, and he preferred plain colors in his clothes.

Qisi got up to greet him, King An was very friendly: "Brothers don't need to be polite."
