People who have been teased by me say they won't let me go [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 88 King's Landing (6)
King Duan's return to Beijing is not a big deal, he came here to commemorate the empress dowager's filial piety, he stayed in the imperial mausoleum all day long and never showed up, kept himself safe, never went out, let alone contacted the officials, this also made Xia Chengqi feel relieved down.
All the court memorials were sent to Prince Gu's mansion, and after being reviewed by King Gu, they were sent to his case. In King Gu's words, let him learn how to judge important matters.
On the memorial, Gu Wang's handwriting is vigorous and powerful, piercing through the paper. Xia Chengqi has copied his handwriting for eight years, but it is tangible but without spirit. Every time he sees Gu Wang's handwriting, he has the illusion of being imitated.
"Report to the emperor, King Duan asks to see you."
Xia Chengqi put down the memorial in his hand, and said to Lu Fu: "Can you tell me what you want to see?"
Lu Fu stood aside and said with a smile: "King Duan didn't say it clearly, but it's not a big deal if you think about it. If the emperor doesn't want to see you, this servant will send King Duan away."
Although King Duan was dispatched to the barren land in the northwest, where the crown prince hibernated for ten years, and King Duan hibernated for eight years, it is hard to say whether the barren land is barren or not.
"No, let him in."
Lu Fu glanced at Xia Chengqi, hesitated for a moment, bowed and said, "Yes."
Xia Chengqi waited on the throne for a long time, and after a while, King Duan came in with his head bowed, followed by a young man dressed as a guard, went to the hall, knelt down respectfully, buried his head in front of his chest, and knelt down to worship the eight-year-old man. The grandson of the cold palace prince who he never looked down upon before.
"My humble minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Good luck tricks people.
Eight years ago, he was still fearful and fearful in front of the queen mother of the person who bowed before him, but now he has become the object of respect and worship.
"Exemption."
Duan Wang Xie En got up, and in eight years, that mighty queen's son had already been polished to such respect by the Northwest, and there was no trace of displeasure and resentment between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Prince Duan came to see me today, is there something wrong?"
When King Duan heard the words, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Return to the emperor, I have come here to ask for an order, and I invite you to go back to the northwest."
"Go back to the northwest?" Xia Chengqi stared at him, waiting for the next sentence.
"Yes." Duan Wang said: "The period of mother's filial piety has passed, and it's time for me to return to the northwest."
Xia Chengqi understands that King Duan has no power in the capital, just like a sheep among wolves, if someone wants his life, or perhaps, if King Gu wants his life, it is really easy.
Xia Chengqi was not sure what King Gu meant at this moment, thought for a while, and said carefully: "I know about this matter, you go back to the imperial tomb and wait for the news, and I will pass the decree to you in a few days."
Duan Wang smiled and cupped his hands, "The humble minister first thanked the emperor."
Xia Chengqi nodded, and when his eyes touched the man beside King Duan, he frowned slightly displeased, "Who are you?"
Duan Wang hurriedly explained: "My Majesty, this is my minister's personal bodyguard. He is highly skilled in martial arts, bold and careful, and has always personally protected my minister."
Xia Chengqi became interested in an instant. He had been bored in the Qianqing Palace reading the papers for two or three hours. It was unavoidably a bit boring, and most of the guards in the palace were boring people. The most they said was 'the subordinates dare not', 'the emperor "Calm your anger" and other words are very boring.
But this guard, Xia Chengqi, felt different. He stood like a pine, his body was like a tight string, ready to go, his eyes were as sharp as eagles, and he exuded a dangerous aura.
[Little Green Riding Hood, is he the Raider Jinshen? ]
[The host has good eyesight, how do you know? ]
[Generally, this kind of person is more independent, stands out from the crowd, and can be seen at a glance to be different from others. Do you think he is the same kind of person as those guards in the palace? ]
The corner of Xia Chengqi's mouth curled into a smile, and he stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, feeling a little excited.Leaning lazily back, pointing at the guard, he said, "You are King Duan's personal bodyguard, so you must be very skilled in martial arts?"
The guard cupped his hands and bowed his head, "It's all the prince's praise, I'm ashamed of myself."
"Whether you dare to act or not is not just talking, what's your name?"
"Return to the emperor, my subordinate Shen Jing."
"Shen Jing?" Xia Chengqi chewed the word repeatedly, and suddenly felt a little funny, Shen Jing, Shen Jing, isn't it Jinshen in turn?
"I want to see your skills, how about it?"
Shen Jing didn't appear flustered at all, and said calmly: "I don't know how the emperor wants his subordinates to demonstrate."
"I'll let you fight with my guards. If you win, I will reward you, but if you lose..." Xia Chengqi looked at King Duan, "That proves that what King Duan said was wrong, and that he lied to me. , but the crime of deceiving the king."
The crime of bullying the king should be a capital crime!
A flash of panic flashed across Wang Duan's face, but it was Shen Jing who was very confident, "This subordinate will follow orders."
Xia Chengqi clapped his hands, and a guard came in from outside the hall, "You have a competition with this Shen Jing, if you win, I will reward you."
"Yes!"
Xia Chengqi sat on the throne, Lu Fu brought a new cup of tea, Xia Chengqi took a sip, and watched the competition between Shen Jing and the guard in leisure.
No matter who is summoned into the palace, they are not allowed to bring weapons. Shen Jing stood there with bare hands, his idle appearance made Xia Chengqi frowned, "Shen Jing, don't you use a sword?"
Shen Jing nodded and smiled, "No need."
Xia Chengqi secretly laughed arrogantly.
"Then let's begin."
The guard drew his sword, his feet were like the wind, and he moved towards Shen Jing fiercely, the tip of the sword shone with cold light, and approached Shen Jing step by step, but Shen Jing just stood there, motionless.
It seemed that what he was facing was not his opponent, but a powerless person, and there was no danger for him.
Shen Jing was as motionless as a mountain, and it seemed that he could still see Shen Jing's contemptuous eyes when they looked at each other, condescending, which really made it difficult for the guard to accept.
Xia Chengqi was immediately affected by this murderous aura, and held his breath to stare at Shen Jing's movements, but he didn't lean back until the guard's sword tip was only a short distance away from his cheek, then he leaned back slightly, lightly , calmly dodged the sword.
The guard's long sword passed in front of him, Shen Jing stretched out his hand, clamped the tip of the sword tightly with both fingers, and smiled coolly, the guard couldn't move, Shen Jing raised his right leg high, and kicked hard at the guard's abdomen , the guard flew back and fell hard on the big pillar in the hall.
The guard covered his abdomen with a painful face, and didn't get up for a long time.
One move to defeat the enemy.
Xia Chengqi clapped his hands and applauded, "What a martial arts skill, to beat my bodyguard with one move!"
There was a smile on the corner of Shen Jing's mouth, but it dissipated the moment he raised his head, and he cupped his hands and said, "The emperor praised you absurdly."
Xia Chengqi stepped down and raised his saluting hand with one hand, "There is no need to salute so much."
The moment the palms touched, Shen Jing's whole body seemed to stiffen for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and he clenched his palms into his sleeves very uncomfortable, and said respectfully: "This subordinate dare not."
"You are so skilled in martial arts, even if I am a virtuous corporal, you are worthy of being a corporal. I just envy Uncle Duan Huang who is so lucky to have someone with such high martial arts skills as Shen Jing to protect him by his side."
If Duan Wang still can't hear Xia Chengqi's subtext, then it is a waste of the queen's years of hard work, "If the emperor really thinks that Shen Jing's martial arts is strong, you might as well give Shen Jing a chance, let him be with the emperor, than by the side of the humble minister." There's a lot going on."
"Oh?" Xia Chengqi climbed up the pole and asked Shen Jing, "I wonder if you would like it?"
Shen Jing stood there, his palms trembling slightly, looking at Xia Chengqi's smiling face, he finally cupped his hands and said, "Your subordinates should obey their orders."
"Okay!" Xia Chengqi said: "Then from today onwards, you, Shen Jing, will be Zhen Yuqian..."
"Your Majesty, this servant thinks it's really wrong."
It was Lu Fu who interrupted Xia Chengqi, Xia Chengqi glanced at him, "What's wrong?"
Lu Fu bowed and smiled, "All those who serve in the palace have to go through a series of examinations by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before they can enter the palace. If the emperor sets a precedent like this, I'm afraid the officials may have some complaints."
Xia Chengqi was displeased, "It's just a guard."
Lu Fu lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to raise his head. He just persuaded: "The Regent has ordered that the emperor's affairs must not be taken lightly."
Xia Chengqi frowned, although he was displeased, he never showed too much dissatisfaction, thought for a moment, looked at Shen Jing, and said: "Since the rules are like this, I don't want to make an exception, you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs first Entry."
Shen Jing lowered his eyebrows and bowed to answer.
Duan Wang smiled from the side, "In that case, I should leave first."
Xia Chengqi nodded, "Back off."
"Wei Chen retire."
King Duan and Shen Jing stepped out of the Qianqing Hall one after the other, led by the palace guards in front, and guarded by the guards in the back, walked outside the palace gate, and then smiled at Shen Jing: "Did you see, this is King Gu's The world, Your Majesty? It's just a puppet."
Shen Jing's eyes sank slightly, looking at the majestic palaces, the high red-painted walls blocked his sight, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
King Duan went out of the palace with his front feet, and Queen Gu entered the palace with his back feet. Xia Chengqi was still taking a nap in the palace, and he didn't know how long he had slept. With the memorial.
Xia Chengqi said in surprise, "Uncle Huang, why are you here?"
King Gu didn't stop writing, but just wrote something on the memorial without raising his eyelids, and said coldly, "I heard that you want to keep a guard by King Duan's side today?"
Xia Chengqi paused when he was approaching him, glanced at Lu Fu who was standing on the side, forced a smile, walked over, and said, "Is the emperor angry? I'm just talking."
"Just talking?" Gu Wang put down his pen, looked at him, and asked word by word: "Is it really just talking?"
Xia Chengqi's face showed embarrassment, Lu Fu quietly retreated out, and there were only two people in the hall for a while, and the atmosphere was a little terrifyingly quiet for a while.
"Jin Yu saw that the guard next to King Duan was highly skilled in martial arts, so she wanted to stay and had no other ideas."
"There are also many people with high martial arts skills in the Emperor's Uncle's House. If Jinyu wants to pick two people, you can tell me clearly."
Xia Chengqi was upset. Gu Wang's people had always followed the rules and were very boring. He really couldn't arouse any interest.
But he didn't want to have too many conflicts with Gu Wang, so he said yes in a muffled voice.
How could King Gu not hear the reluctance in his words, looked at him, "Not convinced?"
Xia Chengqi didn't speak for the first time, thought for a while, and looked at King Gu seriously, "Uncle Huang, Jinyu doesn't want to lie to you, I don't want to."
"Why? Reason."
Xia Chengqi considered his vocabulary carefully, and said cautiously: "Uncle Huang, I don't want to lie to you, I know that Uncle Huang gave me the throne, and it was Uncle Huang who let me sit above ten thousand people, but if this position I'm just a puppet, I'd rather go back to the palace and be the emperor's uncle Jinyu than this lonely emperor."
King Gu's eyes darkened slightly.
Xia Chengqi squatted beside King Gu and looked up at him, "If the emperor just wants me to be a puppet emperor and put me on the shelf like an object, then I don't want this throne, uncle, you used to love me very much Yes, you are the emperor who brought me out of the cold palace, and it was the emperor who rescued me from the queen, why are you so cruel to me now, seeing me sitting on the throne alone, helpless, can the emperor have the heart?"
Xia Chengqi rested his head on King Gu's lap, and wrapped his arms around King Gu's waist tightly, "Actually, Jinyu knows that Uncle Huang is more suitable to be the emperor than me."
"Jinyu..." King Gu sighed deeply, "But it's strange that Uncle Huang didn't give you any real power?"
Xia Chengqi shook his head, "I don't care about real power, I just hope that Uncle Huang can give me some space for myself, Lu Fu belongs to you, Bai Zhi also belongs to you, looking around, the whole world belongs to you."
King Gu understood his meaning in an instant, twisted and twisted, but only for one person, gently squeezed Xia Chengqi's jaw, and said: "But this king is yours."
Xia Chengqi stared at him with wide eyes.
King Gu laughed, "What? This king belongs to Jinyu, isn't that right?"
Xia Chengqi got up suddenly, straddled Gu Wang, held Gu Wang's face, and kissed him fiercely, "Yes, the emperor's uncle belongs to Jinyu, and the emperor's uncle belongs to Jinyu!"
The ups and downs of emotions immediately made Gu Wang dumbfounded, "Yes, it belongs to you."
Seeing him amused, Xia Chengqi whispered, "Then...that guard..."
King Gu's face darkened in an instant, "Jinyu thinks that this king cares too much about you, even a small guard wants to stop you?"
"No, I just think that there is no need to make such a fuss, it's just a guard."
"To make a fuss? Just a bodyguard?" King Gu sneered twice, "Then do you know that the bodyguard with high martial arts skills belongs to King Duan?"
Xia Chengqi lowered his head, "I know."
"Then do you know that the guard's origin is unknown?"
Xia Chengqi couldn't lift his head even more, "I know."
"Since I know, I still want to keep a person of unknown origin by my side. Could it be that the emperor is not afraid of him one day..."
"No!" Xia Chengqi hurriedly explained, "No, absolutely not."
Gu Wang's eyes were gloomy, and his tone was a bit tough, "No, why is Jinyu so determined?"
Facing Gu Wang's questioning, Xia Chengqi was speechless.
Everything can be confessed, except for this matter, which cannot be said. This is his secret, the secret of standing in the world. If he told King Gu, the original Jinyu had already died eight years ago, and he was just a dove occupying the magpie's nest. When the mission of the Raiders came, what would he think of himself?
Seeing that Xia Chengqi couldn't say a word for a long time, King Gu moved the person away and stood up abruptly, "This is the end of the matter, that guard, I don't want to see him appear in the palace, I hope the emperor thinks twice."
"What if I go my own way?"
"That humble minister has no choice but to accept orders."
The four eyes met, exhausted.
This is the first time that Xia Chengqi felt that he lived so cautiously, expressing his feelings clumsily in front of King Gu like walking on thin ice. What lies between the kings is not only the so-called and unspeakable throne, the unspeakable and unspeakable power, but also the secret that belongs to him that is hidden deep in his heart.
"Uncle Huang really thinks that Jinyu is just for a small guard?"
King Gu lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.
Xia Chengqi gave a wry smile, stood lonely on one side and turned his head, looking at the memorials piled up in front of the case, depression and forbearance filled his eye sockets, making his eye circles reddish, shrouded in a mist, and when he opened his mouth, there was a little Weeping, "Jinyu knows, please come back, Uncle Huang."
This look of aggrieved and lonely fell in Gu Wang's eyes, and instantly made him raise his hand to surrender, as if his heart was hurting.
Is it really wrong to think about him for his own good and let him sit back and relax on the throne?
But how is this different from being in Prince Gu's Mansion? They are also protected, but with a different identity. Why do you mind so much!
All these years have forced you to be self-reliant and self-reliant. You are still stable when I am with you, but if I am not here, what should you do?
Pa-ta--a crisp sound, a tear fell on the memorial, Xia Chengqi wiped his eye sockets with trembling hands, turned his back to King Gu with a strong and stubborn back, his thin shoulders trembled inaudibly.
All of Gu Wang's persistence fell apart in an instant, what self-reliance and self-improvement!Why am I in a day and you are safe for a while!Even if one day I can no longer protect you, let's talk about it then!
He stepped forward, hugged him, and kissed Xia Chengqi's forehead affectionately, "Okay, okay, Uncle Huang was wrong, so Jinyu can do whatever he wants in the future, and Uncle Huang will never interfere again. , Whether you want to be a pro-government or accept the empress, the uncle doesn't care, the uncle will hand over all the power in his hands, okay?"
The voice was clearly comforting, and even flattering. Xia Chengqi couldn't hold back the tears that he had stopped at first, and wiped them with trembling hands, but they wiped more and more.
"I'll give you everything, whatever Jinyu wants to do. If you don't like Lu Fu, you can kill him. If you don't like Prime Minister Wen, you can demote him. You can do whatever you want with that guard. Uncle Huang has all the military power." Here you go, okay?"
Xia Chengqi went from choking to sobbing in an instant, speaking intermittently, but trying to stay calm, "Who... who wants you to coax me, I... don't want you to coax me, you coaxed me at this time today, tomorrow... tomorrow may change again I don't want to believe you anymore."
King Gu held him in his arms, Xia Chengqi struggled, "I don't want to be the emperor, no one treats me sincerely, even you are far away from me, I don't want to do it, I would rather go to the cold palace than this Throne."
King Gu hugged him even tighter, "Okay, okay, be good, don't do it, don't do it, Jinyu can do whatever she wants, she won't be the emperor anymore."
Xia Chengqi wept in his arms, hating himself for being so weak, and hating himself for being so attached to him, he pressed his head on Gu Wang's shoulder blades, choked up and said, "Uncle Huang, Jinyu doesn't want to live here alone."
As long as the distress is revealed, it is impossible to harden my heart.
"Okay, Uncle Huang will accompany you and won't let Jinyu live here alone again."
Xia Chengqi raised his head and looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Really?"
King Gu was so distressed that he wiped his tears, "Really, I will move in to accompany you tonight, and I won't teach you alone, okay?"
"Don't lie to me?"
"Of course I won't lie to you."
Xia Chengqi wiped all tears on King Gu's clothes, "Okay, then Jinyu will trust Uncle Huang once more."
Gu Wang patted him on the back, saw that his eyelashes were drooping, and he seemed tired, "Are you tired?"
Xia Chengqi nodded.
"You sleep for a while, and the emperor will explain something."
Xia Chengqi hugged him even tighter.
King Gu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Huang will be back in a while."
Xia Chengqi looked at him for a while, as if wondering if he had lied to him, before nodding for a long while.
King Gu coaxed him to fall asleep, and then he exited Qianqing Hall and returned to King Gu's mansion. In the main hall, he rubbed his brows tiredly, and someone walked in from outside the hall. The identity of the guard has never been ascertained."
King Gu looked up at the beam, "Forget it, there is no need to search, the one from the northwest, you should guess who it is. How is the antidote going?"
"Returning to the prince, the antidote is being developed rapidly."
"How long will it take?"
"About another month or so."
"Understood, back off."
"Yes."
In the main hall, King Gu closed his eyes for a rest, and walked out after a while. He said as he walked, "Come here, prepare a few sets of clothes for my king to change."
"Yes."
-
In the past few days, the direction of the court has changed suddenly. King Duan returned to the territory, the regent delegated power, the emperor took charge of the government, and personally took care of everything. While everyone was surprised, what was even more unexpected was that King Gu actually lived in the house. In the palace, eat and live with the emperor, the emperor called it handover.
However, a group of pedantic veterans in the clan's mansion tried to dissuade him to no avail, intending to kneel down and beg the emperor to take back his order, but under Gu Wang's forceful suppression, the flags and drums died down, and it was a certainty that Gu Wang would live in the palace.
Xia Chengqi also put Shen Jing by his side as he wished, but he never guarded Shen Jing as tightly as King Gu, after all, he knew that Shen Jing would not hurt himself.
At least not now.
What Xia Chengqi didn't understand was that at the place where Gu Wang and Shen Jing appeared at the same time, he always felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
After pro-government, in order to show his hard work, Xia Chengqi devoted himself to political affairs for several consecutive days, and he was busy until midnight every day. Back then, he boasted that he would never let King Gu worry about political affairs anymore. Now even if he stays up all night, he still has to deal with political affairs appropriate.
This night, after dealing with political affairs as usual, Xia Chengqi stood up and stretched his waist. When he raised his eyes, he saw a shadow on the window edge outside the hall. It seemed to be looking at him through the window. The wind outside the hall made the branches sway, and the reflection was there There was a gloomy chill on the window, the Qianqing Palace was originally a heavily guarded place, Xia Chengqi immediately shouted: "Who's there!"
The sound woke up the drowsy Lu Fu outside the hall, and he hurried into the hall. He was shocked when he saw the figure outside the window, and shouted, "Come here, escort!"
Hearing this, the shadow flew away, and a group of guards chased after the shadow. Xia Chengqi was guarded by a group of people in the hall, and it took a long time before the guard reported back, saying that the shadow had drifted into the East Palace. gone.
"East Palace?"
"Return to the emperor's words, it is absolutely true."
Xia Chengqi frowned tightly, "Don't say anything about this, let's go down."
"Yes."
This night, even though it was ordered not to speak out, rumors of ghosts in the East Palace swept the palace for some reason. Many palace people seemed to have seen it with their own eyes, and they said it with their noses and eyes, which made people panic.
And Xia Chengqi, after being intimidated by the shadow outside the window for several days, finally threw himself into Gu Wang's arms, trembling, "Hu... Uncle Huang, there is a ghost."
All the court memorials were sent to Prince Gu's mansion, and after being reviewed by King Gu, they were sent to his case. In King Gu's words, let him learn how to judge important matters.
On the memorial, Gu Wang's handwriting is vigorous and powerful, piercing through the paper. Xia Chengqi has copied his handwriting for eight years, but it is tangible but without spirit. Every time he sees Gu Wang's handwriting, he has the illusion of being imitated.
"Report to the emperor, King Duan asks to see you."
Xia Chengqi put down the memorial in his hand, and said to Lu Fu: "Can you tell me what you want to see?"
Lu Fu stood aside and said with a smile: "King Duan didn't say it clearly, but it's not a big deal if you think about it. If the emperor doesn't want to see you, this servant will send King Duan away."
Although King Duan was dispatched to the barren land in the northwest, where the crown prince hibernated for ten years, and King Duan hibernated for eight years, it is hard to say whether the barren land is barren or not.
"No, let him in."
Lu Fu glanced at Xia Chengqi, hesitated for a moment, bowed and said, "Yes."
Xia Chengqi waited on the throne for a long time, and after a while, King Duan came in with his head bowed, followed by a young man dressed as a guard, went to the hall, knelt down respectfully, buried his head in front of his chest, and knelt down to worship the eight-year-old man. The grandson of the cold palace prince who he never looked down upon before.
"My humble minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Good luck tricks people.
Eight years ago, he was still fearful and fearful in front of the queen mother of the person who bowed before him, but now he has become the object of respect and worship.
"Exemption."
Duan Wang Xie En got up, and in eight years, that mighty queen's son had already been polished to such respect by the Northwest, and there was no trace of displeasure and resentment between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Prince Duan came to see me today, is there something wrong?"
When King Duan heard the words, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Return to the emperor, I have come here to ask for an order, and I invite you to go back to the northwest."
"Go back to the northwest?" Xia Chengqi stared at him, waiting for the next sentence.
"Yes." Duan Wang said: "The period of mother's filial piety has passed, and it's time for me to return to the northwest."
Xia Chengqi understands that King Duan has no power in the capital, just like a sheep among wolves, if someone wants his life, or perhaps, if King Gu wants his life, it is really easy.
Xia Chengqi was not sure what King Gu meant at this moment, thought for a while, and said carefully: "I know about this matter, you go back to the imperial tomb and wait for the news, and I will pass the decree to you in a few days."
Duan Wang smiled and cupped his hands, "The humble minister first thanked the emperor."
Xia Chengqi nodded, and when his eyes touched the man beside King Duan, he frowned slightly displeased, "Who are you?"
Duan Wang hurriedly explained: "My Majesty, this is my minister's personal bodyguard. He is highly skilled in martial arts, bold and careful, and has always personally protected my minister."
Xia Chengqi became interested in an instant. He had been bored in the Qianqing Palace reading the papers for two or three hours. It was unavoidably a bit boring, and most of the guards in the palace were boring people. The most they said was 'the subordinates dare not', 'the emperor "Calm your anger" and other words are very boring.
But this guard, Xia Chengqi, felt different. He stood like a pine, his body was like a tight string, ready to go, his eyes were as sharp as eagles, and he exuded a dangerous aura.
[Little Green Riding Hood, is he the Raider Jinshen? ]
[The host has good eyesight, how do you know? ]
[Generally, this kind of person is more independent, stands out from the crowd, and can be seen at a glance to be different from others. Do you think he is the same kind of person as those guards in the palace? ]
The corner of Xia Chengqi's mouth curled into a smile, and he stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, feeling a little excited.Leaning lazily back, pointing at the guard, he said, "You are King Duan's personal bodyguard, so you must be very skilled in martial arts?"
The guard cupped his hands and bowed his head, "It's all the prince's praise, I'm ashamed of myself."
"Whether you dare to act or not is not just talking, what's your name?"
"Return to the emperor, my subordinate Shen Jing."
"Shen Jing?" Xia Chengqi chewed the word repeatedly, and suddenly felt a little funny, Shen Jing, Shen Jing, isn't it Jinshen in turn?
"I want to see your skills, how about it?"
Shen Jing didn't appear flustered at all, and said calmly: "I don't know how the emperor wants his subordinates to demonstrate."
"I'll let you fight with my guards. If you win, I will reward you, but if you lose..." Xia Chengqi looked at King Duan, "That proves that what King Duan said was wrong, and that he lied to me. , but the crime of deceiving the king."
The crime of bullying the king should be a capital crime!
A flash of panic flashed across Wang Duan's face, but it was Shen Jing who was very confident, "This subordinate will follow orders."
Xia Chengqi clapped his hands, and a guard came in from outside the hall, "You have a competition with this Shen Jing, if you win, I will reward you."
"Yes!"
Xia Chengqi sat on the throne, Lu Fu brought a new cup of tea, Xia Chengqi took a sip, and watched the competition between Shen Jing and the guard in leisure.
No matter who is summoned into the palace, they are not allowed to bring weapons. Shen Jing stood there with bare hands, his idle appearance made Xia Chengqi frowned, "Shen Jing, don't you use a sword?"
Shen Jing nodded and smiled, "No need."
Xia Chengqi secretly laughed arrogantly.
"Then let's begin."
The guard drew his sword, his feet were like the wind, and he moved towards Shen Jing fiercely, the tip of the sword shone with cold light, and approached Shen Jing step by step, but Shen Jing just stood there, motionless.
It seemed that what he was facing was not his opponent, but a powerless person, and there was no danger for him.
Shen Jing was as motionless as a mountain, and it seemed that he could still see Shen Jing's contemptuous eyes when they looked at each other, condescending, which really made it difficult for the guard to accept.
Xia Chengqi was immediately affected by this murderous aura, and held his breath to stare at Shen Jing's movements, but he didn't lean back until the guard's sword tip was only a short distance away from his cheek, then he leaned back slightly, lightly , calmly dodged the sword.
The guard's long sword passed in front of him, Shen Jing stretched out his hand, clamped the tip of the sword tightly with both fingers, and smiled coolly, the guard couldn't move, Shen Jing raised his right leg high, and kicked hard at the guard's abdomen , the guard flew back and fell hard on the big pillar in the hall.
The guard covered his abdomen with a painful face, and didn't get up for a long time.
One move to defeat the enemy.
Xia Chengqi clapped his hands and applauded, "What a martial arts skill, to beat my bodyguard with one move!"
There was a smile on the corner of Shen Jing's mouth, but it dissipated the moment he raised his head, and he cupped his hands and said, "The emperor praised you absurdly."
Xia Chengqi stepped down and raised his saluting hand with one hand, "There is no need to salute so much."
The moment the palms touched, Shen Jing's whole body seemed to stiffen for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and he clenched his palms into his sleeves very uncomfortable, and said respectfully: "This subordinate dare not."
"You are so skilled in martial arts, even if I am a virtuous corporal, you are worthy of being a corporal. I just envy Uncle Duan Huang who is so lucky to have someone with such high martial arts skills as Shen Jing to protect him by his side."
If Duan Wang still can't hear Xia Chengqi's subtext, then it is a waste of the queen's years of hard work, "If the emperor really thinks that Shen Jing's martial arts is strong, you might as well give Shen Jing a chance, let him be with the emperor, than by the side of the humble minister." There's a lot going on."
"Oh?" Xia Chengqi climbed up the pole and asked Shen Jing, "I wonder if you would like it?"
Shen Jing stood there, his palms trembling slightly, looking at Xia Chengqi's smiling face, he finally cupped his hands and said, "Your subordinates should obey their orders."
"Okay!" Xia Chengqi said: "Then from today onwards, you, Shen Jing, will be Zhen Yuqian..."
"Your Majesty, this servant thinks it's really wrong."
It was Lu Fu who interrupted Xia Chengqi, Xia Chengqi glanced at him, "What's wrong?"
Lu Fu bowed and smiled, "All those who serve in the palace have to go through a series of examinations by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before they can enter the palace. If the emperor sets a precedent like this, I'm afraid the officials may have some complaints."
Xia Chengqi was displeased, "It's just a guard."
Lu Fu lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to raise his head. He just persuaded: "The Regent has ordered that the emperor's affairs must not be taken lightly."
Xia Chengqi frowned, although he was displeased, he never showed too much dissatisfaction, thought for a moment, looked at Shen Jing, and said: "Since the rules are like this, I don't want to make an exception, you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs first Entry."
Shen Jing lowered his eyebrows and bowed to answer.
Duan Wang smiled from the side, "In that case, I should leave first."
Xia Chengqi nodded, "Back off."
"Wei Chen retire."
King Duan and Shen Jing stepped out of the Qianqing Hall one after the other, led by the palace guards in front, and guarded by the guards in the back, walked outside the palace gate, and then smiled at Shen Jing: "Did you see, this is King Gu's The world, Your Majesty? It's just a puppet."
Shen Jing's eyes sank slightly, looking at the majestic palaces, the high red-painted walls blocked his sight, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
King Duan went out of the palace with his front feet, and Queen Gu entered the palace with his back feet. Xia Chengqi was still taking a nap in the palace, and he didn't know how long he had slept. With the memorial.
Xia Chengqi said in surprise, "Uncle Huang, why are you here?"
King Gu didn't stop writing, but just wrote something on the memorial without raising his eyelids, and said coldly, "I heard that you want to keep a guard by King Duan's side today?"
Xia Chengqi paused when he was approaching him, glanced at Lu Fu who was standing on the side, forced a smile, walked over, and said, "Is the emperor angry? I'm just talking."
"Just talking?" Gu Wang put down his pen, looked at him, and asked word by word: "Is it really just talking?"
Xia Chengqi's face showed embarrassment, Lu Fu quietly retreated out, and there were only two people in the hall for a while, and the atmosphere was a little terrifyingly quiet for a while.
"Jin Yu saw that the guard next to King Duan was highly skilled in martial arts, so she wanted to stay and had no other ideas."
"There are also many people with high martial arts skills in the Emperor's Uncle's House. If Jinyu wants to pick two people, you can tell me clearly."
Xia Chengqi was upset. Gu Wang's people had always followed the rules and were very boring. He really couldn't arouse any interest.
But he didn't want to have too many conflicts with Gu Wang, so he said yes in a muffled voice.
How could King Gu not hear the reluctance in his words, looked at him, "Not convinced?"
Xia Chengqi didn't speak for the first time, thought for a while, and looked at King Gu seriously, "Uncle Huang, Jinyu doesn't want to lie to you, I don't want to."
"Why? Reason."
Xia Chengqi considered his vocabulary carefully, and said cautiously: "Uncle Huang, I don't want to lie to you, I know that Uncle Huang gave me the throne, and it was Uncle Huang who let me sit above ten thousand people, but if this position I'm just a puppet, I'd rather go back to the palace and be the emperor's uncle Jinyu than this lonely emperor."
King Gu's eyes darkened slightly.
Xia Chengqi squatted beside King Gu and looked up at him, "If the emperor just wants me to be a puppet emperor and put me on the shelf like an object, then I don't want this throne, uncle, you used to love me very much Yes, you are the emperor who brought me out of the cold palace, and it was the emperor who rescued me from the queen, why are you so cruel to me now, seeing me sitting on the throne alone, helpless, can the emperor have the heart?"
Xia Chengqi rested his head on King Gu's lap, and wrapped his arms around King Gu's waist tightly, "Actually, Jinyu knows that Uncle Huang is more suitable to be the emperor than me."
"Jinyu..." King Gu sighed deeply, "But it's strange that Uncle Huang didn't give you any real power?"
Xia Chengqi shook his head, "I don't care about real power, I just hope that Uncle Huang can give me some space for myself, Lu Fu belongs to you, Bai Zhi also belongs to you, looking around, the whole world belongs to you."
King Gu understood his meaning in an instant, twisted and twisted, but only for one person, gently squeezed Xia Chengqi's jaw, and said: "But this king is yours."
Xia Chengqi stared at him with wide eyes.
King Gu laughed, "What? This king belongs to Jinyu, isn't that right?"
Xia Chengqi got up suddenly, straddled Gu Wang, held Gu Wang's face, and kissed him fiercely, "Yes, the emperor's uncle belongs to Jinyu, and the emperor's uncle belongs to Jinyu!"
The ups and downs of emotions immediately made Gu Wang dumbfounded, "Yes, it belongs to you."
Seeing him amused, Xia Chengqi whispered, "Then...that guard..."
King Gu's face darkened in an instant, "Jinyu thinks that this king cares too much about you, even a small guard wants to stop you?"
"No, I just think that there is no need to make such a fuss, it's just a guard."
"To make a fuss? Just a bodyguard?" King Gu sneered twice, "Then do you know that the bodyguard with high martial arts skills belongs to King Duan?"
Xia Chengqi lowered his head, "I know."
"Then do you know that the guard's origin is unknown?"
Xia Chengqi couldn't lift his head even more, "I know."
"Since I know, I still want to keep a person of unknown origin by my side. Could it be that the emperor is not afraid of him one day..."
"No!" Xia Chengqi hurriedly explained, "No, absolutely not."
Gu Wang's eyes were gloomy, and his tone was a bit tough, "No, why is Jinyu so determined?"
Facing Gu Wang's questioning, Xia Chengqi was speechless.
Everything can be confessed, except for this matter, which cannot be said. This is his secret, the secret of standing in the world. If he told King Gu, the original Jinyu had already died eight years ago, and he was just a dove occupying the magpie's nest. When the mission of the Raiders came, what would he think of himself?
Seeing that Xia Chengqi couldn't say a word for a long time, King Gu moved the person away and stood up abruptly, "This is the end of the matter, that guard, I don't want to see him appear in the palace, I hope the emperor thinks twice."
"What if I go my own way?"
"That humble minister has no choice but to accept orders."
The four eyes met, exhausted.
This is the first time that Xia Chengqi felt that he lived so cautiously, expressing his feelings clumsily in front of King Gu like walking on thin ice. What lies between the kings is not only the so-called and unspeakable throne, the unspeakable and unspeakable power, but also the secret that belongs to him that is hidden deep in his heart.
"Uncle Huang really thinks that Jinyu is just for a small guard?"
King Gu lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.
Xia Chengqi gave a wry smile, stood lonely on one side and turned his head, looking at the memorials piled up in front of the case, depression and forbearance filled his eye sockets, making his eye circles reddish, shrouded in a mist, and when he opened his mouth, there was a little Weeping, "Jinyu knows, please come back, Uncle Huang."
This look of aggrieved and lonely fell in Gu Wang's eyes, and instantly made him raise his hand to surrender, as if his heart was hurting.
Is it really wrong to think about him for his own good and let him sit back and relax on the throne?
But how is this different from being in Prince Gu's Mansion? They are also protected, but with a different identity. Why do you mind so much!
All these years have forced you to be self-reliant and self-reliant. You are still stable when I am with you, but if I am not here, what should you do?
Pa-ta--a crisp sound, a tear fell on the memorial, Xia Chengqi wiped his eye sockets with trembling hands, turned his back to King Gu with a strong and stubborn back, his thin shoulders trembled inaudibly.
All of Gu Wang's persistence fell apart in an instant, what self-reliance and self-improvement!Why am I in a day and you are safe for a while!Even if one day I can no longer protect you, let's talk about it then!
He stepped forward, hugged him, and kissed Xia Chengqi's forehead affectionately, "Okay, okay, Uncle Huang was wrong, so Jinyu can do whatever he wants in the future, and Uncle Huang will never interfere again. , Whether you want to be a pro-government or accept the empress, the uncle doesn't care, the uncle will hand over all the power in his hands, okay?"
The voice was clearly comforting, and even flattering. Xia Chengqi couldn't hold back the tears that he had stopped at first, and wiped them with trembling hands, but they wiped more and more.
"I'll give you everything, whatever Jinyu wants to do. If you don't like Lu Fu, you can kill him. If you don't like Prime Minister Wen, you can demote him. You can do whatever you want with that guard. Uncle Huang has all the military power." Here you go, okay?"
Xia Chengqi went from choking to sobbing in an instant, speaking intermittently, but trying to stay calm, "Who... who wants you to coax me, I... don't want you to coax me, you coaxed me at this time today, tomorrow... tomorrow may change again I don't want to believe you anymore."
King Gu held him in his arms, Xia Chengqi struggled, "I don't want to be the emperor, no one treats me sincerely, even you are far away from me, I don't want to do it, I would rather go to the cold palace than this Throne."
King Gu hugged him even tighter, "Okay, okay, be good, don't do it, don't do it, Jinyu can do whatever she wants, she won't be the emperor anymore."
Xia Chengqi wept in his arms, hating himself for being so weak, and hating himself for being so attached to him, he pressed his head on Gu Wang's shoulder blades, choked up and said, "Uncle Huang, Jinyu doesn't want to live here alone."
As long as the distress is revealed, it is impossible to harden my heart.
"Okay, Uncle Huang will accompany you and won't let Jinyu live here alone again."
Xia Chengqi raised his head and looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Really?"
King Gu was so distressed that he wiped his tears, "Really, I will move in to accompany you tonight, and I won't teach you alone, okay?"
"Don't lie to me?"
"Of course I won't lie to you."
Xia Chengqi wiped all tears on King Gu's clothes, "Okay, then Jinyu will trust Uncle Huang once more."
Gu Wang patted him on the back, saw that his eyelashes were drooping, and he seemed tired, "Are you tired?"
Xia Chengqi nodded.
"You sleep for a while, and the emperor will explain something."
Xia Chengqi hugged him even tighter.
King Gu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Huang will be back in a while."
Xia Chengqi looked at him for a while, as if wondering if he had lied to him, before nodding for a long while.
King Gu coaxed him to fall asleep, and then he exited Qianqing Hall and returned to King Gu's mansion. In the main hall, he rubbed his brows tiredly, and someone walked in from outside the hall. The identity of the guard has never been ascertained."
King Gu looked up at the beam, "Forget it, there is no need to search, the one from the northwest, you should guess who it is. How is the antidote going?"
"Returning to the prince, the antidote is being developed rapidly."
"How long will it take?"
"About another month or so."
"Understood, back off."
"Yes."
In the main hall, King Gu closed his eyes for a rest, and walked out after a while. He said as he walked, "Come here, prepare a few sets of clothes for my king to change."
"Yes."
-
In the past few days, the direction of the court has changed suddenly. King Duan returned to the territory, the regent delegated power, the emperor took charge of the government, and personally took care of everything. While everyone was surprised, what was even more unexpected was that King Gu actually lived in the house. In the palace, eat and live with the emperor, the emperor called it handover.
However, a group of pedantic veterans in the clan's mansion tried to dissuade him to no avail, intending to kneel down and beg the emperor to take back his order, but under Gu Wang's forceful suppression, the flags and drums died down, and it was a certainty that Gu Wang would live in the palace.
Xia Chengqi also put Shen Jing by his side as he wished, but he never guarded Shen Jing as tightly as King Gu, after all, he knew that Shen Jing would not hurt himself.
At least not now.
What Xia Chengqi didn't understand was that at the place where Gu Wang and Shen Jing appeared at the same time, he always felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
After pro-government, in order to show his hard work, Xia Chengqi devoted himself to political affairs for several consecutive days, and he was busy until midnight every day. Back then, he boasted that he would never let King Gu worry about political affairs anymore. Now even if he stays up all night, he still has to deal with political affairs appropriate.
This night, after dealing with political affairs as usual, Xia Chengqi stood up and stretched his waist. When he raised his eyes, he saw a shadow on the window edge outside the hall. It seemed to be looking at him through the window. The wind outside the hall made the branches sway, and the reflection was there There was a gloomy chill on the window, the Qianqing Palace was originally a heavily guarded place, Xia Chengqi immediately shouted: "Who's there!"
The sound woke up the drowsy Lu Fu outside the hall, and he hurried into the hall. He was shocked when he saw the figure outside the window, and shouted, "Come here, escort!"
Hearing this, the shadow flew away, and a group of guards chased after the shadow. Xia Chengqi was guarded by a group of people in the hall, and it took a long time before the guard reported back, saying that the shadow had drifted into the East Palace. gone.
"East Palace?"
"Return to the emperor's words, it is absolutely true."
Xia Chengqi frowned tightly, "Don't say anything about this, let's go down."
"Yes."
This night, even though it was ordered not to speak out, rumors of ghosts in the East Palace swept the palace for some reason. Many palace people seemed to have seen it with their own eyes, and they said it with their noses and eyes, which made people panic.
And Xia Chengqi, after being intimidated by the shadow outside the window for several days, finally threw himself into Gu Wang's arms, trembling, "Hu... Uncle Huang, there is a ghost."
