over ten thousand people

For the next few days, everything went on as usual.As the day when the Northwest Army squadron returned to the court was approaching, everything turned around in the early court and began to revolve around the triumphant ceremony.Kaile, advocacy, singers, guards of honor, etc. all need to be confirmed one by one. The Ministry of War, Ministry of Rites, and Taichang Temple are all busy.Wei Ji, who always loves to be a hands-off shopkeeper, worked very hard this time. Both civil and military officials in the court thought it was a surprise, but I just laughed and said nothing.

At this moment, Jing Zhaoyin and Yan Tongfu asked to see each other in private.

I asked Liu Jin to bring people all the way in from the vacant Lizheng Hall.Although I don't know what's going on with Yan Tongfu, it's always right to go around Zhongshu Sheng.Yan Tongfu was also very obedient, and immediately went straight to the point after saluting: "Your Majesty, there are some clues about what you asked General Zu to let the ministers investigate last time."

I like this pragmatic attitude.There is one thing to say, one thing to say, another thing to say two things, even if you praise me to the sky, it will not help you get things done. "What did you find out?"

"Your Majesty must be aware that according to my laws, people must avoid officials when they see officials. Otherwise, the light ones will be whipped with sticks, and the severe ones will be imprisoned. Because of this, since Emperor Gaozu established the capital, Xingjing has never had a similar incident. It's the first case."

I nod my head.This is indeed the first time that no one has ever done before; therefore, even if Xie Jingyu is in the limelight, I always feel weird.In addition, although Nanfeng is not uncommon in this world, it is not open enough to show love to each other in broad daylight.

"Your Majesty felt strange at the time, but you should not act rashly. Your Majesty's envoys investigated the matter, and I ordered people to inquire about it, and asked the people on the Qushui Stone Bridge for details. After many days of investigation, it was roughly in this way……"

On the same day, Xie Jingyu changed into his ordinary clothes, and with two attendants who were also in ordinary clothes, he left the mansion through the side door and went straight to the Qushui Bridge.It wasn't too early for them to go, and there were already people gathered on the bridge.I don't know who recognized Xie Jingyu first, so he yelled.Everyone was curious and wanted to take a look at him, but when they thought about avoiding it, they realized that they couldn't retreat, and the blockage became more and more severe.

I tapped lightly on the table.It's normal for Xie Jingyu to be recognized, after all, he got up in the army, and there are eight hundred people who have seen him.But when it comes to being besieged... "Yan Aiqing, can you find out who yelled that day?"

"I'm incompetent, I haven't found out who that person is yet." Yan Tong replied, and hurried to make amends, "But many people on the bridge heard it that day, and they all said that the voice was not from Xingjing's local accent."

Not Xingjing accent?I vaguely guessed something, and raised my eyebrows: "Could they be speaking with a Southern Wu accent?"

Yan Tongfu immediately praised: "Your Majesty is holy. When Emperor Tai|Zu defeated Southern Wu, he brought back a large number of prisoners from Southern Wu when he returned triumphantly. His accent is just like this person."

Yan Tongfu was right.

Whenever the dynasty sent troops to win a big victory, the army squadron would bring the prisoners with them when they returned to the dynasty, so as to make a surrender ceremony.After receiving the surrender instrument, a small part was sold to wealthy merchants, and most of them were distributed according to their ability and used as official slaves.Most of the captives in the north were man slaves, and the captives in the south were usually better at farming and weaving.

But no matter whether they are from the north or the south, after staying in Xingjing for more than ten years, the accent will inevitably change.Yan Tongfu emphasized that the person was a pure Nanyin, which was a very obvious hint——

When Jiankang City was broken, Emperor Hui died, and his sons did not survive.But Emperor Hui also had a younger brother, named King Kang, who happened to be visiting Qiantang at that time.Hearing that the capital of the country fell, he fled, and his whereabouts are still unknown.If this King Kang is still alive, he will definitely want to recover Southern Wu.As for the greatest possibility of his success, nothing is more likely to instigate Xie Jingyu, who is already in a high position.

But there is no evidence, Yan Tongfu can only hint, and I can't point it out. "Then continue to investigate until it is clear."

Yan Tongfu retreated in response.I heard the sound of footsteps going away outside, so I took out a booklet from the desk.On the second day after the beginning of summer, Xie Jingyu handed over the duty list of the Ministry of Education for this year.It is clearly written in black and white on it that he must be on duty every holiday, except March [-]rd.

Xie Jingyu knew that someone was waiting for him on the Qushui stone bridge, so he spared that day.

He was on an appointment.

I closed my eyes and opened them again.Xie Jingyu could have changed the watch on the back so that it would not look too abrupt that day, but he didn't.Is it because he thinks that I won't get to the bottom of it, or because he has a clear conscience?In addition, the small hermit hides in the wild, and the big hermit hides in the city. It is indeed possible that the secret is more difficult to be exposed in broad daylight.If the person who yelled was indeed a subordinate of King Kang of Southern Wu, why would he do that?

All kinds of doubts, I naturally won't write them on my face.One of the basic qualities of being a good emperor is to keep calm, and I have known it since I was born.In fact, if you just look at the relationship between Xie Jingyu and Xie Jingyu these days, it is like a model of a king, a sage, a minister and a virtuous man.Even Liu Jin couldn't help but say, since Prime Minister Xie entered the Phoenix Pavilion, my mood is getting better day by day.

Xie Jingyu made me feel better?

Ah.

If I were to argue about this with my personal servant, I'm afraid I'd be pissed off as soon as I ascended the throne.But I will not wrong myself - there are usually rewards when offering sacrifices to the Taimiao, and I deliberately did not bring Liu Jin so that he can reflect on himself.

Not long after offering sacrifices to Taimiao, the eighth day of April arrived.

Because I had to offer incense and chant scriptures before my elder sister and other royal family members who were seriously praying for blessings, I had to get up as soon as Zhenyin time came, so that I could reach the Ci'en Temple before Mao time.When I got in the car, I was still a little sleepy, and I yawned several times before remembering what I forgot.

"General Zu," I poked my head out of the car, "Where's Xie Fengge?"

Zu Miao was about to get on the horse, when he heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face. "Xie Xianggang was waiting outside Huizheng Gate, and now he is riding behind your Majesty's carriage."

The front, back, left, and right sides of my carriage are full of Qianniuwei, Xie Jingyu, who is dressed in normal clothes, must be very eye-catching.Although there is still a curfew at this time, there will be no one on the street outside, but in case someone sees it... I know why Zu Miao is lucky. "Tell him to come to my car."

After giving the order, I leaned on the soft couch and began to doze off.But for a moment, a burst of early morning cold air rushed over, mixed with rustling movements. "Find a place to sit by yourself," Zhen didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, "Wake me up when we get to the Temple of Mercy."

There was silence in the car for a while. "Yes, Your Majesty."

I am ready to concentrate on catching up on sleep.In the worst case, even if Xie Jingyu is really related to King Kang of the Southern Wu, now is not the time to do it, and I am not worried that something will happen.Moreover, Xie Jingyu seems to be rushing to give me something recently, so I can't let him down.What should be arranged has already been arranged: don't talk about hands and feet, even if Xie Jingyu trampled to death an ant in the Temple of Mercy today, I will know...

The carriage is rushing forward, and I feel drowsy.Between half-dream and half-awake, something soft fell on her body.Most likely it was the cloak that Liu Jin had prepared in advance, because it carried the aroma of freshly smoked ambergris.The scent was a bit strong, and I couldn't help but sneezed a little, and I touched something warm on my cheek, which was fleeting.

Then, I really fell asleep.When he opened his eyes again, the cloak on his body was still on, and another person in the car was looking out through the gap in the curtain that appeared and disappeared. "Xiefeng Pavilion, what is there to see outside?" As I said, I also looked out of the window on my side - the dawn is not yet clear, the huge city is looming, the streets and lanes are indistinct, and can only be barely recognized Outline the outline of the Buddha bone stupa.

"Return to Your Majesty, I accidentally lost my mind."

These words sound a bit sparse, I don't know if it is my illusion.I looked at Xie Jingyu again, his face was as usual. "I'm going to offer incense later, so you don't have to follow. But don't go far, you have to leave before the hour." Today, my sister is not the only one who prayed, and I explained to my other brothers and sisters why I didn't do anything in the Temple of Mercy. Not interested.

Xie Jingyu nodded. "I understand, I thank Your Majesty once again for your kindness."

After that, there was nothing to say, but fortunately, the Ci'en Temple will arrive soon.I went straight to the main hall, and Zu Miao sent someone to follow Xie Jingyu.After the incense was burnt and the scriptures were chanted, I walked out of the Daxiong Hall and found that the sun had come out and the golden top of the pagoda was shining brightly.Zu Miao had already been waiting outside, when she saw me, she hurriedly made a brief report.

"You said he just walked around the temple?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Did you do nothing else?"

"I'm afraid that's the case, Your Majesty."

I pursed my lips. "Call people back, and walk from the back of the temple in a while."

Zu Miao went.I subconsciously stared at Jinding, rubbed my chin, and thought to myself——Xie Jingyu just wanted to go to the Temple of Mercy for a visit?There is nothing to see in this temple, so why bother?Or, is this a smoke bomb, just to confuse me?

I don't know if Yan Tongfu can find out something new...

Or, should Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Lingnan Road be made to pay attention to the changes of the Southern Wu Remnant Party?

I thought about this, and unexpectedly recalled just now.I always thought that if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed like Xie Jingyu, the heart should be cold, and the blood should also be cold.Even if he has the ability to manage the world, even if his father is promoted in an extraordinary manner, after all, he is not of our race and his heart must be different.But his hands are hot, and his heart...

Those clear and open eyes that see the bottom emerge again.If I really doubt him, if he is really sincere to me...

I don't know why, but I'm a little upset.

The author has something to say: Do you think His Majesty knows? XD
