rebirth will be hard to find

Chapter 185 The Empress of Zhang Jingshi

If you want to plan a big event, confidentiality is always extremely important. If the news is leaked before you start, then even the most exquisite plan will only fail in the end.None of the vassal kings who were left in the capital was a fool, and naturally all of them were cautious. The capital city has been calm for the past few months, and there has been no slightest change.

Li Lin is quite unruly in small matters, but he is never ambiguous in major matters.Cheng Zian naturally believed him, so he asked his grandmother to find out the news when he returned home.

The Cheng family has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic to the country. With Cheng Zian and Chu Yi having that kind of relationship, Mrs. Cheng naturally dare not neglect her.She propped up her sick body and came out to take charge of the overall situation, but unexpectedly her mind was distracted, and her heart disease healed faster, and her eyes that were originally a little dull gradually returned to their former radiance. Had a serious illness.

However, if there is a good thing, there will be a bad thing. The Cheng family indeed had some connections in the garrison in the capital, but no matter how they checked, there was nothing unusual about it.After a few days like this, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help wondering whether Cheng Zian and Li Lin were overly sensitive and worrying unnecessarily.

Indeed, the kings have been very honest in the past few months, and apart from holding a few banquets, it seems that there is not much contact.Chu Zhao had detained him in Beijing at the beginning, but he didn't deprive him of his title and restrict his freedom. Naturally, no one could say anything about the banquets held by these vassal kings.There was only Li Shangshu, because the Li family was tied to Chu Yi because of Li Lin's relationship, so he observed and considered everything a little more, and faintly felt that something was wrong.

For this kind of thing, Cheng Zian always felt that he would rather believe in something than nothing.So when Mrs. Cheng couldn't find any news, she went to visit Taifu Zou in private.

Cheng Zian has been an accompanying student with Chu Yi for more than two years. As Chu Yi's teacher, Mrs. Zou also has half-teacher friendship with Cheng Zian and Li Lin.When she begged to see her, Taifu Zou naturally would not miss him, and even called her to the study to test her knowledge.

Cheng Zian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but because of Taifu Zou's attitude, he felt a little relieved.She took the path of a general, and Li Lin didn't take the imperial examination path. In fact, the two of them did not study well, just because Cheng Zian was serious about things, and he was better than Li Lin. But no matter how you say it, the two of them It is impossible to become Taifu Zou's favorite student, and it is not bad if he can not insult his reputation.

Taifu Zou obviously did not insist on these things, after a brief examination, he shook his head with some pity, and then chatted with Cheng Zian, asking about the wars and customs of Beizhou.

Cheng Zian couldn't bear it any longer, and after talking about the events of Beizhou in a hurry, he said bluntly: "Teacher, when His Majesty left Beijing, he entrusted you and Prime Minister Zhang with the government affairs. In the past few months, has anything happened in Beijing?" Something wrong?"

These words obviously went beyond the mark, Taifu Zou didn't answer, just looked at Cheng Zian with a pair of clear eyes.

Cheng Zian smiled bitterly, thought for a while, took out a piece of jade and handed it to Taifu Zou, and said: "Two days ago, Li Lin invited me to a banquet, and told me in private that the kings who stayed in Beijing had too close acquaintances. There is a change. You have personally experienced the affairs of Emperor Yanping and the late emperor, and you must also understand that there are many ambitious people among the kings. Now that the external troubles are over, there may be internal worries..."

Taifu Zou took the jade pendant from Cheng Zian. The jade is a good jade, crystal clear and fine, but this is not the point. The point is that it is a piece of jade with a dragon pattern on it, not only the royal emblem, but also the name of Chu Yi— ——It was the emperor's personal jade pendant, and at some point, it was even a status symbol.

Of course, Chu Yi didn't plan ahead and gave Cheng Zian's identity token early, asking her to run around for him after returning to Beijing.In fact, that piece of jade was just given to Cheng Zian on a whim by her, and it was probably used for... a token of love, right?

When Cheng Zian showed this jade to Taifu Zou, he was actually quite guilty.But Taifu Zou didn't know this, only when she returned to the capital, Chu Yi gave her instructions, so she stopped keeping her mouth shut and returned the jade pendant to Cheng Zian and said: "After your majesty left, everything in the capital remained the same. I never interfered in the political power." He paused for a while, and then said: "Actually, when Your Majesty left Beijing, Prime Minister Zhang and I were worried that the kings would act according to the situation, but now they are honest, but they are too honest. People are a little uneasy."

The tranquility before the storm, because it is too calm, makes people feel uneasy and depressed.

Cheng Zian frowned slightly, and asked, "Did the Grand Tutor find anything wrong?"

Taifu Zou shook his head: "No, all the kings followed the rules, and some people even stayed behind closed doors. Even if they tried to find the fault, they couldn't find it, let alone any evidence of disobedience." Seemingly understanding what Cheng Zian was most worried about, he again Added a sentence: "There is no difference in the garrison in Beijing. Prime Minister Zhang and I have checked it. The generals leading the army are all trustworthy people."

Cheng Zian felt a little relieved when he heard this, but soon became even more worried.

After Mr. Zou's words, Li Lin's worries were obviously not groundless, but now it seems that the other party's layout does not seem to be in the capital... In other words, the emperor is not in the capital anymore, so it seems useless to arrange so many in the capital.Moreover, with Chu Yi's current reputation and her orthodox background, unless she wants to be that traitorous courtier and traitor that everyone despises, no one will want to arrange a scene in the capital to invite you into the urn.

The best way is probably... the emperor dies unexpectedly and has no heirs, so he can only choose the heir emperor within the clan!

Cheng Zian's pupils shrank sharply, and Taifu Zou probably guessed what she was thinking when he saw this, and comforted him: "Don't panic, your Majesty's side will be fine. She is here for the imperial conquest, and she is returning to the capital." Shi naturally brought a large number of soldiers and horses with him, even if someone felt disobedient, he would definitely not be able to please him."

************************************************** ***************************

Ever since Cheng Zian returned to Beijing, Chu Yi felt that life had become more and more boring. She couldn't rush to negotiate a peace, otherwise she would be at a disadvantage if she became anxious, and there might be changes in the country of Yan.

After waiting for several days like this, fortunately, the country of Yan really felt that it could not afford to procrastinate. The hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped in the territory of the country of Chu. Not to mention the staggering amount of food and grass consumed every day, even sending food and grass would be troublesome .What's more, Yan Kingdom is suddenly hit by a disaster, and money and food are also stretched. Relief may not be difficult, but it will not be able to support a national war, so there is no point in delaying it.

So a few days later, Qu Yun came to Yanyang City again, and Song Kou agreed to the 250 million taels that Chu Yi said before to buy... oh, no, it was the condition that the second prince of Yan Kingdom enter Chu as a hostage.

The general direction was established, and the negotiating of some bits and pieces of terms was delayed for some time. No. 12 days after Cheng Zian left, the letter of credence for the peace negotiation between the two countries was finally signed.

Qu Yun left with the signed letter of credence, and the Yan army who had been fighting outside Yanyang City for several months did not delay at all, and rushed back to the country.Almost on the second day after the signing of the letter of credence, the area once occupied by the Yan army was left empty and desolate.

As the war was settled, Chu Yi naturally did not delay, and immediately ordered the imperial driver to return to the capital - after more than ten days of separation, she already missed Cheng Zian, not to mention that it was obviously time to go back to clean up the mess in the capital.After letting this go for a long time, it is time for the city mansion Ruyue King to do something, after all, this may be his last chance in this life.

The emperor's imperial caravan was quite grand. When Chu Yi came, he marched in a hurry. Except for putting out the guard of honor before entering Yanyang City, there was no ostentation along the way. But now that the victory has returned, naturally there is no need to hurry, but Chu Yi doesn't want to delay Too much time, after all, it's still simple, but in comparison, she no longer has to wear armor to go out to be a mascot, but sits safely in a gorgeous car pulled by six white horses.

The Luanjia is very big, and everything is in place, just like a small moving house, and even separated the inner and outer rooms.Chu Yi leaned on the soft bed to rest, and could barely feel any bumps. It was very comfortable to travel this way, but...it was too slow!

In the previous and present lives, Chu Yi was almost trapped in the Chu capital or in the corner of the palace. This time the royal conquest was the farthest place Chu Yi had traveled.When she came, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and she was in a hurry, so she didn't pay attention to the scenery along the way. When she returned, she had some leisure, and it happened to be the time when kites and grasses were growing in early spring, so the scenery along the way was not bad.But even so, she was worn out by the speed of this car.

During this trip, Chu Yi never brought the palace servants with him. When he returned to Beijing, he was naturally served by the people from the Imperial Forest Army. Compared with the meticulous palace servants, they were too clumsy to serve people.For example, these days when Chu Yi was bored in the car, these imperial guards stayed in the corner obediently. Without Chu Yi's order, they were like invisible people, making no sound at all, just like the dark guards.

This kind of itinerary is obviously boring, so that when Chu Yi was tired of looking at the scenery, he flipped through a few books to read, and then the books were also boring, and finally he slipped out his sleeping cat body, and then he was fine. hair……

To be honest, the shiny and smooth fur still feels good to the touch, but there is always an inexplicable and weird feeling in my heart.Sometimes when she strokes the cat's fur, she also thinks, when will the days when she can change her body as soon as she falls asleep?The young man Zi'an has already agreed to be her imperial husband, so he can't make a wedding ceremony for the two of them in the future, she accidentally falls asleep, and then turns into a cat to watch around, right? !

This kind of thing is really... I can't even look at it when I think about it!

Chu Yi began to think that this matter always needs a solution, she can't really wait for Xiao Hei to die of old age.She can't believe alchemists and the like, not to mention that most of these people are liars, and their words are even less strict.But I heard that the Hongfu Temple in the suburbs of Beijing is the most effective, and the presiding master Huiming is even more profound in Buddhism. Should she go and see it?Such a highly respected monk should not go out and talk nonsense, right?

While stroking the cat's hair and thinking about something, Chu Yi suddenly felt the Luan driver under him pause, and then felt that the slow-moving carriages and horses stopped completely...

The author has something to say: Xiao Hei always needs a box lunch, he can’t really wait to die of old age
