Rebirth of the Faint Lord

Qi Junzhuo and his party didn't know the emperor's plan, they had handed over their itinerary long ago, and there was a plan for when they would enter Beijing.

On the way, Yang Jinglei and Qi Junzhuo were fine, but Qi Junyou was like a cannon barrel that was lit, and he sneered at the two of them every now and then.

Qi Junzhuo didn't react at all to this, he acted indifferently as if the person Qi Junyou ridiculed wasn't him, and the whole thing had nothing to do with him at all.

In comparison, Yang Jinglei lost his face.

How to put it, in his opinion, this matter cannot be blamed on Ping Wang's yin and yang, the main reason is that Ping Wang has not lived a very comfortable life since he left the capital.

In Qingzhou, because of the snow disaster, they actually put people under house arrest under the name of King Ping.

Yang Jinglei has already made all kinds of preparations, what kind of situation will happen if King Ping doesn't cooperate, he has considered the worst plan.In the end, I didn't expect King Ping to be cooperative, so he didn't find fault.

Because of King Ping’s name, the Zhou family donated money and supplies with great care. Because the Zhou family took the lead, those rich merchants in Qingzhou gave money if they had money, and goods if they had goods. The disaster situation was controlled smoothly.

Regarding the Zhou family's desire to see King Ping, Yang Jinglei understood in his heart, and took the time to mention this matter to Qi Junzhuo.

They also know in their hearts that it is unreasonable to just let the horses work and not let the horses graze, and they are prone to backlash.

Qi Junzhuo himself is also a prince, so he naturally has the temperament of a prince, but his exotic eyes are easy to give people a flaw.Fortunately, when he doesn't look up at people, it's not easy to find this flaw.

Those in the Zhou family were in awe of King Ping from the bottom of their hearts, but Qi Junzhuo reclined on the chair with a book and didn't give them a look, showing a little arrogance, and they didn't think much about it when they greeted him.

After all, Yang Jinglei was respectful to Qi Junzhuo, and he also called him the prince.

Furthermore, Qi Junzhuo's demeanor is exactly what a prince should have, and his lazy and impatient performance is not only facing them, but also facing Yang Jinglei and others.

It also showed dissatisfaction with the emperor inside and outside the words.

In order to appease the Zhou family, Qi Junzhuo deliberately asked Yang Jinglei to retreat for half an hour, giving them a chance to speak.

At that time, Qi Junzhuo was very hasty, and he hinted at the people of the Zhou family that the trip to Qingzhou was suddenly assigned by the emperor.

So no matter what, the Zhou family must handle this matter well and not let the emperor hold the handle.

The Zhou family members were also a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, it made sense.It is the fault of King Ping and Concubine Xian that King Ping's affairs in Qingzhou are not going well.

Of course, some people also asked about Prince Jin.

Qi Junzhuo immediately sneered and put the book on himself and said, Prince Jin is a dog next to the emperor, and he is now looking for evidence everywhere, sorting out the evidence for the emperor and cleaning them up.

The Zhou family naturally had other questions to ask, but Yang Jinglei came back.

The most important thing is that not long after, they received instructions from the capital's family, saying that Concubine Xian had inquired about the news in the palace, and the emperor intended to take this opportunity to eradicate King Ping, and they must help King Ping tide over this difficulty.

As soon as the news from the family came, the Zhou family's heart was completely let go.

Help is harder and harder.

No, the snow disaster in Qingzhou was quickly brought under control with everyone's concerted efforts, and the price of grain was well controlled, at least they were affordable, so that no one would think of throwing their own money for a bite of grain like they did when they came here. sell.

The lives of ordinary people did not suffer too much loss, and their lives and properties were preserved.

Of course, not everyone has such awareness, even with the help of the Zhou family, there are still people with black hearts.After Yang Jinglei found out, Qi Junzhuo didn't even think about turning those people into dead souls.

He acted swiftly and resolutely, but this move calmed down some people in Qingzhou who were about to make a move, and it was much easier to deal with the following matters.

When the emperor ordered Prince Jin and Prince Ping to return to Beijing, the Zhou family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These days they are all acting in the name of King Ping, and the people from Qingzhou are grateful to King Ping.King Ping's reputation far surpassed that of the emperor.

This kind of gratitude reached its peak on the day they returned to Beijing.

The weather was fine that day, and people on both sides of the street were seeing off people, and all members of the Zhou family stood at the door.

Seeing Qi Junzhuo in exquisite royal clothes, everyone left and knelt down and shouted Pingwang Qiansui, and the common people on both sides of the street shouted together, the sound and scene were spectacular.

At such a moment, Qi Junzhuo smiled so abruptly.

His laughter was a bit weird, and Zhou's family raised their heads for no reason, and they happened to meet Qi Junzhuo's pale golden eyes.

Then Qi Junzhuo personally stepped forward to help the elders of the Zhou family up, and said with a smile: "The old man misunderstood the person, this king is King Jin."

The Zhou family was stunned. How could he be Prince Jin? Didn't he call Prince Jin a dog next to the emperor?Why is it Prince Jin now?

Under the shocked eyes of everyone, Qi Junzhuo bowed in the direction of the capital and said, "This king was ordered by the emperor to come to Qingzhou for disaster relief. Fortunately, he did not disgrace his order. The second brother, King Ping, is also there, but King Ping came to Qingzhou from the capital. I feel a little unwell, and I have been recuperating these days. However, whether it is King Ping or King Jin, they are acting on the orders of the emperor. Now Qingzhou Min'an is protected by the emperor, long live the emperor."

Most of the time, people are very simple. After being brainwashed by Qi Junzhuo's Langlang voice, everyone's mood is very surging, and they suddenly feel that Qi Junmu, who is far away in the capital, is a rare wise king in the ages.

Qi Junzhuo shouted long live, and they also shouted long live.

The faces of everyone in the Zhou family were cracked. They couldn't figure out how there was such a person as Qi Junzhuo in this world, who even scolded himself when he became vicious.

Qi Junzhuo didn't care what they were thinking, and smiled at them decently.

The old Zhou family members were almost fainted by his smile. Only then did they suddenly realize that the cake Qi Junzhuo had drawn for them was very big, and what he said was very sincere, but he didn't take out more than a penny from the beginning to the end.

The snow disaster in Qingzhou was carried over by their Zhou family running around to donate money and porridge on credit.

As a result, they thought they were doing things for King Ping, but what they did later was to achieve the emperor's reputation.

Under the excitement of everyone, Qi Junzhuo announced that the Zhou family was the first to make donations for the snow disaster.The emperor will personally summon them to reward them. Although other donators cannot face the saints, the emperor will definitely reward them in the future.

The implication is that when they leave Qingzhou, they will bring some members of the Zhou family with them.

The common people in Qingzhou felt the great grace of the emperor, but everyone in the Zhou family only felt the coldness of the blade on their necks.They are very helpless, and they don't know if they can come back after this trip.

After Qi Junzhuo finished talking, Yang Jinglei invited Qi Junyou out to return to the capital together. Qi Junyou is no longer a well-known noble son, and he is extremely gloomy these days when he is depressed.

Facing Zhou's family's mournful face, he snorted coldly with the corners of his mouth drawn, and got on the carriage back to Beijing.

The matter in Qingzhou came to an end just like that, Qi Junyou didn't lose any good reputation, and all the gorgeous words and respectful eyes were put on the young emperor by the common people.

The Zhou family in Qingzhou and the Beijing family might still have rifts and estrangements because of this incident. It's no wonder that he is in a good mood when he returns to Beijing.

Yang Jinglei thought, if it were him, he would be in a bad mood.

It's just that Yang Jinglei knew in his heart that King Ping's mood was understandable, and he would have to do this again next time he encountered such a thing.

King Ping is always King Ping, and the emperor is the master of Daqi.

Fortunately, the closer he was to the capital, the shorter the protruding fangs of King Ping, and when he reached the border of the capital, he returned to his former appearance as a noble young man.

When Qi Junzhuo set foot on the capital, he felt dazzled by the sun.

When he left, it was still cold in the capital, and he was already wearing unlined clothes when he came back.

Daqi's year name has changed, and the era belonging to Emperor Jing stayed in last year. For a while, he was in a daze.

The capital city is obviously a place he is very familiar with, but it is suddenly a little strange.

But when he heard that the emperor was waiting in front of the farewell pavilion, all the thoughts in Qi Jun's heart disappeared instantly.

He rode forward, and the smoke and dust rose with the sound of horseshoes. Qi Junyou, who also got the news, heard this, he opened the curtain and looked at Qi Junzhuo's slightly urgent back and snorted twice from his nose.

At the farewell booth, Qi Junmu was talking to Shen Nian.

Among those present, only Shen Nian was the calmest, while Prince Rui, Minister of Industry Xing Yi and Cheng Jin were all fidgeting on the sidelines.

When they heard that the emperor was going to send them out of Beijing in person, several people were a little panicked.

Especially Qi Junyan, I always feel that the emperor is not sending them out of Beijing, but giving them a ride, especially him.

After drinking the farewell tea, the emperor still didn't let them leave, but only told them to wait, saying that it was a surprise for them, especially Qi Junyan.This situation was a bit of a headache, especially for Qi Junyan, who couldn't say anything other than a silly smile.

This wait lasted for two hours, the emperor and Shen Nian were chatting with each other, but they didn't feel that the time passed slowly.

Cheng Jin was so bored that he counted the sealed boxes containing the silver, and wondered how much money the emperor had allocated to the Western Region.

After carefully calculating the amount of silver, the emperor still cared a lot about the frontier defense in the west.

Cheng Jin was a little happy that the emperor valued the western region so much.Only those who have experienced wars at the border can personally understand what it means for an emperor to value the border.

This is why everyone said that Emperor Jing was brutal, but the frontier army had nothing to say.

They don't know how Emperor Jing treated others, but they knew that when Emperor Jing was in power, there was no shortage of money or materials at the border.

Soldiers don't have to go hungry to fight.Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded by the emperor, and deserters will be punished by the emperor.

The only one who was wronged was Shen Yi. The emperor was very generous to others, but he was very ordinary to Shen Yi. Even the status of a Marquis was obtained after his death.

The northern army was wronged for Shen Yi, but Shen Yi himself didn't feel it.

He often said that everything was worth it if he could protect the northern border and Daqi.

Even when he finally died in the north, he didn't have any regrets, which is why Shen Nian's descendants were not depressed after returning to Beijing.

@@@

When someone reported that Prince Jin and Prince Heping were about to arrive, the chat between Qi Junmu and Shen Nian finally stopped.The restless trio finally understood the emperor's intentions, and Qi Junyan heaved a sigh of relief.

Shen Nian stood up from the emperor and stood aside.

Speaking of the emperor's farewell this time, it was far less grand than the last time when he returned to Beijing, the emperor led all the civil and military officials to greet him in person despite the wind and snow.

But the emperor's intentions can be seen in the details. The emperor brought tea, which he had never seen before, and the cup was what Qi Junzhuo was used to.

Even the upholstery was brought from Qi Junzhuo...

The mind is everything.

Qi Junzhuo was originally riding in front of the crowd, but after seeing the farewell pavilion from a distance, he waited for Qi Junyou's carriage for a while.

In the eyes of outsiders, no matter who has a good relationship with the emperor, Qi Junyou is the elder brother after all, and he will not leave such an obvious handle because of this, while the emperor is being talked about by others.

Qi Junyou's carriage came slowly, and seeing Qi Junzhuo waiting, King Ping poked his head out from the curtain of the carriage and rolled his eyes at him.It's a pity that no one looked at his white eyes, and Prince Jin's eyes were always on the farewell pavilion.

The anger in Qi Junyou's heart was rising, he threw down the curtain, thinking disdainfully, Qi Junzhuo really thought that the emperor would treat him as a brother, and he would always treat him as a brother, and he didn't think about the fate of his father's brothers .

No matter what was going on in their hearts, they still came to the farewell pavilion.

Qi Junzhuo smiled when he saw Qi Junmu, the emperor was still the same as before, and the expression he looked at him was also the same, without any change.

Facing the emperor, Qi Junyou and Qi Junzhuo came forward to pay their respects, their expressions were originally perfect.However, when they saw that Qi Junyan and others still had so many large boxes and guards, both of them were a little puzzled in their hearts, and their expressions on their faces were not well controlled, and some emotions still leaked out.

Qi Junmu stepped forward to help Qi Junzhuo himself up and said: "They are all brothers of my own family, so there is no need to be polite."

Qi Junyou stood up alone, with a sneer in his heart, what he said was nice, his brother, even though he was an elder brother, he had never seen the emperor help him up.

Brothers also have closeness and distance, especially the emperor showed this closeness to the fullest, even a blind person standing here can tell who is the brother in his mouth.

Qi Junmu took a closer look at Qi Junzhuo and said, "I've lost some weight and darkened. You didn't suffer any grievances in Qingzhou, did you?"

The words were very gentle and ordinary, Qi Junzhuo felt his heart soften when he heard it, he shook his head and said sullenly: "My brother is fine, I haven't suffered any grievances, and I haven't lost weight. How about you, brother, is everything okay? "

"Fourth brother asked this question. Naturally everything is better when the emperor is in the palace." Qi Junyou looked at the scene of harmonious brotherhood between the monarch and his ministers, and the evil fire in his heart kept bubbling out. At this moment, he finally couldn't help stabbing sentence.

But Qi Junmu didn't even look at him, he pulled Qi Junzhuo and said, "It just so happens that you and the second brother came back in time, and the eldest brother is going to the western region soon, you can also send them off."

Obviously it was a good time for the emperor to choose, but when it came to his mouth, the words changed.Everyone knew what was going on, but no one dared to refute the emperor's words.

Shen Nian saw that the situation was almost done, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Prince Rui is about to leave, Prince Ping and Prince Jin must have a lot to say to Prince Rui, Weichen and others will step back first."

Qi Junmu smiled approvingly at him: "Shen Qing is right."

The name of Shen Nian has spread throughout Daqi these days, and Qi Junyou and Qi Junzhuo who are far away in Qingzhou have also heard of it.

Qi Junyou glanced at Shen Nian with a smile on his face and said: "Marquis Zhenbei speaks nicely, no wonder the emperor likes it, and this king is also very happy when he hears it."

As soon as Shen Nian said this, he didn't express anything, but Cheng Jin's eyebrows twitched, and his impression of King Ping instantly went to the toilet.Qi Junyou is obviously saying that Shen Nian is a courtier who wins favor by playing tricks.

The smile on Qi Junmu's face faded slightly, and he said: "Second brother, Shen Qing crawled out of the pile of dead people. In the northern border, it's not that people won't die by talking nicely, and in the capital city, it's not just by talking. It can help me. But you are right about one thing, Shen Qing really likes me no matter what she is or what she does."

"Forget it, the capital is prosperous, life is comfortable and luxurious, and the second brother probably can't imagine what it would be like when people died in the border war. It's meaningless to say these, lest Zhenbeihou will laugh in his heart."

Qi Junyou just felt very uncomfortable, the needle he stabbed out was stabbed back, a little deeper than usual, and it made him feel uncomfortable all over.

He thought to himself, who is disgusting when Qi Junmu said this?

The snow disaster in Qingzhou is not without dead people, and he is not only a generation of people who only enjoy suffering and don't know a fraction of them. How could the emperor have the nerve to say such a thing?

Qi Junmu didn't speak like this when he was a child, but now that he's an emperor, he probably has poison on his lips.

Qi Junyou still wanted to say something to save face, but the emperor had already waved Shen Nian, Xing Yi and Cheng Jin to step down.

Qi Junzhuo was naturally on the emperor's side, and took advantage of the opportunity to talk to Qi Junyan, whom he was not familiar with at all, and sincerely wished Prince Rui a smooth trip to the west with a concerned face.

His tone was so natural that Qi Junyan was moved, and he held his hand and said impassioned words, expressing that he would never disappoint the emperor's expectations and would definitely do this well.

People who don't know will definitely think that they are brothers when they see this scene.

Qi Junyou only felt that he was disgusted. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. These words really make sense. Qi Junzhuo was blackened by Qi Junmu, and his hypocrisy when he returned to Beijing was unbearable.

The emperor was still fanning the flames and said: "Second brother, big brother is leaving Beijing soon, don't you plan to say goodbye?"

Qi Junyan took advantage of the situation and looked at Qi Junyou, his eyes were full of anticipation.

King Ping took a deep breath and joined the big harmonious family of brotherhood.

When the four brothers performed like this, Cheng Jin walked up to Shen Nian secretly, and said, "Master, why didn't you give me a letter in advance about this matter, the emperor's order came so suddenly, I don't even know what to do." what to do."

Shen Nian glanced at him and said: "The emperor doesn't say anything, how dare I reveal it? That's hurting you."

"Our Shen family army has never been involved with the Western Territory Army. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous for me to go here. If it gets stabbed in Chang Sheng's heart, do you think I will come back?" Cheng Jin was a little worried.

Shen Nian pointed him with a sullen face: "If you want the head on your head, don't mention the word Shen Jiajun in the future. It's the Northern Frontier Army. When you get to the place, just remember one sentence. Don't ask too much about everything. There are really What kind of gossip, just write to me."

Cheng Jin frowned, thinking that the trip to the western region must not be easy.

The emperor either wanted to clean up the northern border or wanted to get Chang Sheng, but after thinking about it, Chang Sheng hadn't done anything eye-catching in these years, and after much deliberation, it was the emperor's idea to fight the northern border army.

Before Cheng Jin left Beijing, he felt that the road ahead was long and windy.

This room was under the eyes of everyone, and it was not easy for the two of them to talk too much, and the emperor had already held Prince Ping's head in that room and performed a touching drama with Prince Rui.

Prince Rui wiped the corners of his eyes, and bid farewell to the emperor with pride, Cheng Jin and Xing Yi hurriedly followed.

Shen Nian looked at the long queue, then at King Ping standing in the pavilion who was aggrieved and depressed, and suddenly thought of himself back then.

Obviously, he still doesn't know many things, and all kinds of rumors have been arranged by the emperor, and this feeling has finally come to others.

Prince Rui led the team escorting the silver and walked for a while, Shen Nian looked up at the sky, and when he was about to say something, he saw Qi Junzhuo had already walked up to the emperor and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's go back. "

In an instant, Shen Nian felt that he was about to fall out of favor.

Qi Junmu originally wanted to come to pick up Qi Junzhuo back to the capital today, but now that he has arrived safely, he has completely let go of his holding heart. Hearing this, he said: "Then go back."

The emperor sat on the imperial chariot, with Qi Junzhuo riding on the left and Shen Nian on the right.Qi Junyou sat in the carriage and followed behind, feeling that he was superfluous.

No one spoke a word during the journey back to Beijing from the Baibie Pavilion.

By the time we got back to the palace, it was getting late.

Qi Junzhuo's Prince Jin's mansion has already been repaired these days, but today he still has to live in the palace.

The emperor had already sent someone to clean his previous residence, and all the utensils inside were replaced with new ones, and the fragrance he liked was also smoked.

When they arrived at the palace, Qi Junmu got out of the sedan chair and walked with Qi Junzhuo, Shen Nian followed behind them.

Qi Junmu said: "You have worked hard all the way, go back and have a good rest."

Qi Junzhuo lowered his head in response.

When he arrived at the gate of Qianhua Hall, Qi Junmu patted him on the shoulder and said warmly: "It's good to be back."

One sentence made Qi Jun's eyes burn red, he looked at the emperor and said: "I made the emperor worry."

"It's good to know." Qi Junmu said: "I asked the imperial dining room to make your favorite pastry, it won't taste good if it gets cold, go back quickly."

Only then did Qi Junzhuo salute and retreat.

After walking a certain distance, he couldn't help looking back, seeing Qi Junmu still standing there looking at him, Qi Junzhuo smiled, and ran away like a child.

When the people disappeared, Qi Junmu returned to Qianhua Hall.

When they arrived in the hall, Ruan Jiqing ordered someone to serve the meals. The emperor looked at the silent Zhenbei Hou and asked in puzzlement, "What's the matter? Are you in a bad mood?"

Shen Nian hurriedly raised his head and said: "No, I just heard that the Emperor and Prince Jin have a good relationship before, but I felt a little emotional when I saw it today." He also has brothers, but the relationship between them is not good.

Even worse than ordinary people, people often say that being born in the emperor's family is the saddest, and the emperor is ruthless.

But the emperor Qi Junzhuo really cared about it.

Qi Junmu smiled and didn't explain too much, he signaled Shen Nian to sit down and eat together.

During this period of time, such scenes often appeared, and Shen Nian was not very polite.

After sitting down, Shen Nian found that the roast mutton he liked most last time appeared in front of his eyes, the portion was bigger than usual, and it was still steaming.For some reason, he remembered what the emperor said to Prince Jin just now, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

A smile spread from his eyes to his face, full of uncontrollable joy.

When Qi Junmu raised his head, he could see clearly that the emperor's meals, or in other words, the meals in the palace, always kept quiet. The emperor used to abide by this rule.

Now, the emperor is only relying on his own will, he said: "I saw that you liked this last time, so I asked the people in the imperial dining room to make more. When you want to eat it in the future, just tell them and let them make it for you."

Regardless of whether these words are true or not, Shen Nian felt that the emperor's heart has come.

He stood up and expressed his gratitude, and ate up the plate of mutton, showing that he really liked it.

Qi Junmu didn't expect him to like it so much, so he persuaded: "This thing gets angry, and it's hot now, so you should eat less."

Shen Nian nodded, thinking in his heart, at most he only ate at the emperor's place, who would care what he ate when he returned home.

But maybe he really ate too much. He was obviously not on duty that night, but he was lying in the resting place of the guards, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Thinking about things on the bed, he just got up after thinking about it, and then checked the guards.

This inspection really allowed him to catch some people slacking off, and Shen Nian was very angry.

The next day, when Qi Junmu got up and heard the news, he was surprised and said, "Did Shen Nian be on duty last night?"

Ruan Jiqing said: "No, this servant thinks that the Marquis of Zhenbei probably did things so unexpectedly because he was concerned about the emperor's safety."

The emperor snorted, wondering if it wasn't the plate of mutton that made the noise?
