Someone always wants me to be a courtier [Rebirth]

Chapter 65

Hongcheng in February has already escaped from the severe winter cold, only the air is still slightly cool.

In the hall of Ronghui, there is no charcoal fire, earth dragons, and a simple carpet that is not thick, which is better than nothing.

It was already dark, but the most central room in the Hongcheng Palace was still completely silent, almost to the point where a needle could be heard.

The man who had kept his eyes closed opened his eyes slightly, and looked sideways at the person lying beside him.

Su Yanzhao's sleeping posture has always been very regular.

It was no different today, the person beside him placed his hands neatly at his sides, breathed evenly, and slept extremely peacefully.

Xie Qi stared fixedly at the face beside him that was always fascinating, and after a long time, he turned his eyes away and curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

Later, Xie Qi had a long dream.

He seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss in a daze, and suddenly broke away from the trance state and entered a bizarre world.

When he opened his eyes again, Xie Qi frowned and looked at everything around him.

In the ancient and majestic yet comfortable palace, there are palace maids holding their breath at several corners, and occasional servants who are in a hurry come and go, their steps are fast but not chaotic, and they are completely royal.

Yong'an Palace.

Xie Qi recognized the palace where he lived for a long time at a glance, and then found that all the servants around him were as calm as before, as if they had never seen him.

There was no sign of saluting and greetings, and there was no sign of bowing his head to avoid it.

Like he's an invisible man.

Besides, didn't he just get crowned and still stay in the Ronghui Hall of Hongcheng Palace, why did he return to the palace suddenly?

Feeling weird and never feeling angry at all, Xie Qi hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the imperial study room where the king specially reviewed the memorials.

If you want to know the situation in recent days, you must go to Yushufang.

Arriving at the door of the destination like a stroll in the courtyard, Xie Qi saw the people sitting in the open door at a glance.

That's... a person who looks exactly like him.

In other words, Xie Qi, who was exactly the same in shape and appearance as him.

No, it's not exactly the same, 'Xie Qi' who frowned and half leaned on the back of the chair has a more immature face, although his stature can't be seen, but it should be a little different from him, he looks like him a year or two ago.

Taking a breath, Xie Qi tentatively stepped into the hall, clearly feeling the touch of the soles of his feet touching the ground, but 'Xie Qi' who was sitting on the chair still didn't respond at all.

After making sure that he would not be seen, Xie Qi took his seat almost arrogantly, looking wantonly at the person sitting in the main seat.

Not everyone has the opportunity to look at themselves directly. After scanning 'Xie Qi' from top to bottom several times, Xie Qi turned to think about another question.

What is this person in front of me bothered about?

In his memory, before the restoration, with Su Yanzhao standing in front of him, he didn't have too many things to worry about, let alone frowning for a long time.

After the restoration, he was busy studying history books in Tianlu Pavilion to learn how to be a king. When he had free time, he often went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Lizheng Hall, and seldom came to the Imperial Study Room.

Could it be that this is not me?

The gradually rising suspicion has not yet formed, there was a moderate noise outside the door, and someone walked into the hall quickly, as if to report important matters.

Yun Shu stepped into the hall in three steps and two steps, bowed deeply to the people seated, and said, "Your Majesty..."

"How is fourth brother, but is he safe and sound?" The young man in the seat interrupted Yun Shu's slow report and asked sharply.

Fourth brother... Xie Xuan?

Xie Qi looked at all this in surprise, and the doubts in his heart became more and more serious.

But I heard Yun Shu on the side saying hesitantly; "His Royal Highness King Cheng led three thousand horses to celebrate His Majesty's birthday. According to the people in the Lizheng Hall, His Highness refused to remove his armor outside the city, and there has been a war outside Jinling City."

The news is complicated and changeable, and there is no reliable source. The news that has reached the ears of Xie Qi, who has not yet been in power, is naturally deleted and modified.

As if it was exactly the same as what he thought, the eyes of the people in the seat suddenly widened, and then a bit of obvious anger welled up on their handsome faces.

"War has started? What kind of war? Is the Daqi army infighting?!"

"Su... Prime Minister Su transferred to Chong'an Camp, the most elite subordinate of Duke Dingguo. When the slaves entered the palace, the fight was coming to an end, and most of King Cheng's guards were lost."

Snapped!

'Xie Qi' casually grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it hard to the ground, making a loud noise.

As the fragments splashed, the boy's voice was accompanied by a chill.

"Su Yanzhao is too deceitful!"

The unrepressed words spread far away, startling Yun Shu, who was already trembling, and almost jumped up to cover the mouth of the seated person, but he didn't have the guts, so he had to say something in a low voice in the end.

"Your Majesty, be careful that walls have ears." The voice was deep and low, as if desperate.

The visual impact has not been completely eliminated, and the scene in front of him suddenly disappeared.

What appeared again was a luxurious house where gold and jade were thrown around for the treasures, but the form and ceremony were quite different from those of Daqi Miyagi.

Xie Qi looked around for a long time before he found a vague impression from his memory.

This is... and the grand princess mansion.

There was a lot of people in the distance, but the location he was in was extremely quiet and quiet, like a natural secret place.

'Xie Qi' in formal attire walked slowly with the grand princess Xie Guan.

Different from the ones I saw earlier, the 'Xie Qi' at this moment seems to be a little more mature, his face is still a little immature, but it is not the same as before.

Xie Guan happened to be the most prosperous appearance in memory, dressed in fancy clothes, and his gestures were full of momentum.

"What does Your Majesty think about Cheng Wang Xie Xuan?" Xie Guan smiled gently, but the words came straight to his heart.

"The evidence of Xie Xuan's intention to rebel is solid. I misunderstood the Prime Minister earlier."

'Xie Qi''s calm face does not distinguish between happiness and anger, making it difficult to figure out.

"Is it true that the things that Prime Minister Su asked the people in the Lizheng Hall to submit are credible? Take ten thousand steps back and say that even if the king conspires against you, and His Majesty has not yet taken charge of the government, you should let us know in advance how to deal with it. Prime Minister Su said nothing." Directly dispatched to the Chong'an camp to kill the prince's personal guards, and even used swords and soldiers outside the capital to bleed, does your majesty know what this means?"

of course I know.

It means that the three-foot Qingfeng hangs on the neck all day long, and it means that the seat overlooking the life in the Xuanzheng Hall can be taken away at any time.

After a long time, 'Xie Qi' laughed softly, his brows were gentle and moist.

"Auntie thinks, what should I do?"

"When the Tai/Zu founded the country, he left behind a group of strange soldiers called Xuanwei. Most of them were capable men and strangers with high martial arts skills. They could be transferred with the command of Xuan characters. The former emperor passed away suddenly, and this order fell to me. In the hands of His Majesty, now that His Majesty has gradually matured, I will entrust it to you, and I hope His Majesty will make good use of it."

The light token fell into the palm of the young man, and was put away with great care by the person who got it. Their eyes collided with each other in the air before they were retracted, like a tacit understanding.

"I see." The young man responded in a low voice, hearing the deep meaning in the words, but there was no killing intent in his eyes.

The scene turns again.

Xie Qi looked at the standing man in front of him in surprise.

Another 'thank you'

The original youthful face suddenly grew up, with more charm accumulated over the years, and an indescribable sense of loss.

Someone brought a stack of memorials into the hall and put them on the table, causing the people in the seats to turn their heads to look over.

"Are you urging me to stand up again? Are all the civil and military officials too idle? All of them will stay in the middle school."

'Xie Qi' gaze only stayed on the memorial for a very short moment, and then moved away mercilessly.

Before the servants in the palace could speak, they could hear the sound of panicked hooves from afar.

A seal report broke the long-term peace in the palace.

"Report! Meng Bang, king of Xirong, tore up the covenant between the two countries and raised 20 troops to declare war on us!"

"Report! Xirong divides its forces to attack Anyang and Shunyi in Yanzhou. Anyueguan is in a hurry!"

"Report! Yanzhou's defense line has been completely defeated. His Royal Highness Xin Wang asked the imperial court to send troops to help as soon as possible!"

From the pampered young emperor to the young man who has passed this year, except for the sharpening of his character, Xie Qi has not made much progress.

At the very least, it is not yet possible to calmly face a war that will overwhelm the country.

Until, it was learned that Lizhengtang had decided on the candidate for the coach.

"Why did the prime minister go? Are there no generals in the court?"

He roared a little hoarsely, his expression revealing a worry that he didn't know but that outsiders could clearly detect.

"Is Your Majesty afraid of the self-respect of your ministers?"

Su Yanzhao glanced at him indifferently, with bottomless indifference in his eyes.

"No... no," he shook his head in a panic, seeing that the person in front of him had made up his mind, bit his lips and muttered; "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and the prime minister takes care of himself."

"En." Su Yanzhao nodded as a response.

Xie Qi, who stood aside and was regarded as air, stared at the indifferent nodding person who was just a few feet away.

Obviously, the 'Xie Qi' next to him is already past his age. In terms of age, how much older is Su Yanzhao?

But as if the heavens favored him, there was almost no trace of time on his handsome face, and it only became more graceful with the passage of time.

The only difference is that the person in front of him seems to be too indifferent when looking at people and things.

Distant and ethereal, without any emotion.

The eyes of the two collided.

For a moment, Xie Qi hoped that the person in front of him was special.

Through the time and space of nothingness, I will see him standing here, feeling panic and not knowing where to go.

But no.

It was just a brief moment of distraction during the conversation with the person. After almost an instant, the person withdrew his gaze and continued to talk about other court affairs in a cold tone.

Xie Qi's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and it suddenly shattered into pieces.

How could his Jingzhi look at him like this?

Anxiety and unspeakable emotions suddenly surfaced in his chest, a fine layer of sweat broke out behind him, and his mood suddenly fluctuated.

As if being pulled out suddenly, Xie Qimeng, who was covered in cold sweat, opened his eyes, but only saw the top of the palace where the background could not be seen under the cover of night.

This is a dream?
