i am afraid

The news of King Chen's safe return quickly spread to the court. Some people were happy while others were worried. Most of the happy ones were the original King Chen's party, and the new king succeeded to the throne. Their status became very delicate, and it was uncertain when they would be pulled. Go to sacrifice the flag, if the king of Chen can get the throne, they will also become royalists in one fell swoop, and they will rise to the top. What is worrying is that most of them are the old princes. They have been waiting and watching. .

Even Jiang Yan himself can see his current situation, but he really can't find a way to deal with it. He doesn't even know which ministers have real power, who can be wooed, and who cannot be wooed. He was even afraid of going to court every morning. He felt that everyone looked at him with contempt and pity. He was wearing a crown and a crown, but he was in a panic like a cornered monkey surrounded by people.

"Your Majesty first came to the throne, and it would be inappropriate to follow the reign title of the previous dynasty. I ask Your Majesty to ask the Imperial Academy to draw up the reign title so that it can be changed."

Jiang Yan looked at the middle-aged official kneeling in the middle of the hall with a pale face. Although it is customary for a new king to succeed to the throne, according to filial piety, at least it should wait until the end of the year, and there are still two months before the end of the year. Come out, not by accident.

With the year number, he is the official emperor. The year number is not only convenient for folks to record the year, but also useful when the emperor is abolished.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath: "No need, I will decide my year name myself."

This is also in line with the rules, the minister didn't say much, and retreated into the queue. Almost all of them, veteran ministers, watched the prince grow up and had great hopes for him, but Jiang Yan only brought them disappointment. In fact, they also knew that Jiang Yan had been artificially raised and disabled these years, but no matter what the process was, the result had already been formed, and he had formed his own character. Unless a miracle happened, he couldn't be the emperor well.

Indecisive, sensitive and fragile, such a person shouldn't be in that position.

Jiang Yan thought for a long time, his eyes passed over the Chinese and military officials in the main hall, the statue of Longzi in front of the hall, and saw the sky outside, which was gray and not bright.

Finally, he said slowly, "Let's call it Jingchu."

No one raised any objections, Jingchu, Jingchu, the beginning of Chengtian Jingming, maybe this is the first Jingchu year, and it will also be the last.

After the court, Jiang Yan walked towards the Wenhua Pavilion. Although Jiang Xuanying left, no one objected to his decision. He still goes to class every day.

There is a long distance between Chengtian Palace and Wenhua Pavilion, and there is a garden path in the middle. Jiang Yan likes gardens, and every time he gets here, he will get out of the car and walk over.

After entering the garden, after walking a few steps, a figure landed on him. Jiang Yan saw that it was Gu Xi. He was at ease in this palace. Go wherever you want.

After these changes in the past few days, he has become more comfortable with Gu Xi, at least he won't feel uncomfortable looking at those shrewd eyes that seem to be shining brightly, he said slowly: "Gu Xiang."

Gu Qi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, would you like to hear a few words from my minister? About King Chen."

It’s okay if you don’t mention it, but Jiang Yan gets angry when he mentions it, because he insists on pulling him to talk nonsense, let him almost pull it up his pants, and it’s okay to lose face in front of that bastard Jiang Xuanying, but Gu Xi's next sentence immediately caught his attention.

About Uncle Six?What is he trying to say?Jiang Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Qi.

"This is not a place to talk. If Your Majesty really wants to hear it, you might as well wait until tomorrow when you come out of the palace. I will wait for you in Qinghe Garden."

After Gu Xi finished speaking, he saluted Jiang Yan, then turned and left without hesitation.Jiang Yan wanted to call him back, but he looked at the guard of honor in the chariot that was about to follow, and kept silent. He instinctively told him that what Gu Xi wanted to tell him must not be simple, and the less people knew about it, the better.

Because of this episode, Jiang Yan was particularly distracted when he was listening to the class. He was still guessing Gu Qi's intentions when he was hit on the back of his hand by a ruler.

The back of the delicate hand was first shaken by the ruler, and then it turned red, and the area around the ruler seal was even more blue and purple.

The culprit was not embarrassed at all. He had a dull face, and he still looked listless. He seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was dry, saying every word: "Seriously, seriously, listen, class."

Jiang Yan's nose was sore from being photographed. He couldn't even become an emperor. When he was abolished or the Zen throne, the best ending would be to be awarded a small title, and he would live with his salary and wait for death. What's the point of learning this now? use?He might as well wash his neck and wait for someone to pick it up!

Jiang Xiaofeng froze when he saw Jiang Yan's beautiful eyes quickly filled with tears. He tapped himself suspiciously with a ruler, but it didn't hurt much, or did he use too much strength just now?

Jiang Yan was really scared, he had never faced this before, no one taught him what to do, he was ready to give up Jiangshan, but the unknown after Jiangshan gave up was what he feared the most, He and Uncle Six haven't seen each other for several years, and the little relationship they had with each other when they were young is vague even when he thinks about it, let alone anything else.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, my heart was like being soaked in snow water, inch by inch, completely cold.

"Don't cry, I won't hit you anymore." Jiang Xiaofeng said hard, but his pronunciation was still a bit dry, like the sound of two glazed tiles rubbing against each other, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Jiang Yan raised his head and saw the concern in Jiang Xiaofeng's eyes. He was stunned for a moment. Today, even Mr. Xu shook his head and sighed when he saw him, and stopped talking to him. This Mr. Jiang, whom he has been drying out all this time, actually cares about him?

He stopped talking, slowly wiped away his tears, and bent his lips to Jiang Xiaofeng for the first time in a few days: "Thank you, Taifu."

Jiang Xiaofeng's big black pupils shrank invisibly, and turned his back as if trying to hide something, but two red ears were exposed between his hair.

"Ji, continue to follow me..."

Holding the scroll, Jiang Yan's heart suddenly calmed down.No matter how afraid, no matter how worried, what is the use other than torturing yourself?Soldiers came to block the water and cover it with earth. Could it be that after a few days of being the emperor, he could no longer live the life he used to?At least he can now study beside the Taifu who taught his father, and he can learn things that he could not learn before. Looking back later, it will be a pleasure.

Even if the final outcome is death, one should not be so worried before death.Jiang Yan took a deep breath and concentrated on following Jiang Xiaofeng to read.

No matter how Jiang Xiaofeng's character is, his knowledge is indeed worthy of the title of champion. No matter what uncommon content comes to his mouth, he can explain it in an easy-to-understand manner. Jiang Yan accidentally heard it at noon. .

Looking back, it's still a little strange. He was obviously worried before, but after listening to the class, he was relaxed. Jiang Yan even thought that he must behave very well when the time comes. He hesitated, what dragon chair or jade seal, he didn't want it!All these scapegoats were blamed on Jiang Xuanying, since he had gone home anyway, the Sixth Uncle couldn't go to Shangyu's family to arrest him, could he?

Thinking about it, Jiang Yan tried his best to let himself ignore the faint sadness and... unwillingness in his heart.

Just as everyone imagined, after hearing the news of the new king's succession, King Chen immediately set off to return to the capital. It was not ostentatious all the way, but he did not have the posture of paying tribute to the emperor at all. It was obvious that he was going to Xingshi to question him.

In the past few days, the court has been unexpectedly calm, and everyone inside and outside the palace seems to have fallen into a strange silence. Walking on the road, even children playing too loudly will be taken away with their mouths covered by flustered family members. The always bustling restaurants and teahouses in the capital were also rarely deserted.

Qinghe Garden is an exception. This is the leisure place for dignitaries and nobles. There are five floors up and down. The first floor is for listening to operas, the second floor is for singing, the third floor is for drinking tea and chatting with poetry. cave.

Gu Qi was waiting for Jiang Yan by the window in the private room on the third floor. The time for three cups of tea passed, but no one came.

He picked up the tea bowl, not in a hurry, he didn't doubt whether Jiang Yan would come, no one would not care about his own life, the king of Chen was like a sword hanging on the little emperor's head, he didn't know when it would fall , and whether it landed on his hair or his neck is unknown.

No one puts all their hopes on the unknown.

In fact, Jiang Yan really came, but he couldn't go up, he was stopped by someone, who was a very expensive young man who looked like a gentleman, but Jiang Yan was not timid at all, not even him Yes, even Xungui should be low class, he just looked at that person coldly.

The low-level noble is very good at observing words and demeanor. Generally, one can roughly guess the background identity of a person by looking at his clothes. No matter how subtle his current identity is, he is also from the royal family. He will definitely not lose his bearing, so Jiang Yan is full of confidence He raised his head, trying to push people back.

But he forgot one thing. In order to meet Gu Xi without attracting attention, he changed into an ordinary scholar's attire. The demeanor of a person is really not based on a face, but on the combination of conversation, temperament, and clothing. It was formed, but his face was so well formed that it suppressed the first two. When that Xungui saw him, he was only itchy and unbearable.

I've lived for 20 years, and I've never seen such stunning beauty!What does such a beauty come out for?He deserves to be raised and pampered in the yard. If he can let him kiss Fangze again, he will give him anything he wants!

Jiang Yan's face was grim. He didn't feel at all that this person came here to belittle him, but wondered if he really looked so bullied, and he couldn't live safely on the road.
