Emperor Nagasawa [Rebirth]

In November, half of Sui country was covered with ice and snow.

At this time in the previous life, Emperor Sui was about to die, and the secret struggle between Ji Yu and Ji Ming had turned to the surface. It was the most intense moment, and even the situation between civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty was very delicate.Probably because Ji Ming's grandfather was the head of the generals, Taiwei, although all the officials appeared to be waiting for Prince Yu to succeed to the throne, it was almost impossible to guess which one they secretly supported.

At such a delicate moment, Su He asked to see Ji Yu in the name of lobbying other countries.Su Heben had a seven-point talent, and Ji Yu was very pleased with his extremely eloquent tongue, so he was immediately introduced as a guest minister, and often had long talks with him.

From then on, Su He lived a life like a fish in water in Sui Palace.

Of course, he did not forget his mission.

On the surface, he stood by Ji Yu's side as a guest minister, admonishing Ji Yu earnestly and earnestly to put the overall situation first, let Ji Ming's life go, and give Ji Ming a idle job to support him after he ascends the throne.The key is that the world has been peaceful for nearly twenty years now, and other countries are ready to move. If they indulge in the rivalry between brothers again, others will take advantage of the fire and rob them!What's more, the state of Chu showed its powerful army during the hunting last year. If Jiang followed the four countries of Han and Qi and went their own way and refused to unite with the outside world, they would perish one by one within 20 years!

After all, Ji Yu was young and soft-hearted, and what he said was too reasonable, so he eased the pressure.Most of the forces under Jiming's command had been cleaned up this year, and he finally got a breather and kept his crumbling foundation.

Su He's words to Ji Yu were not confidential, and soon spread to Ji Ming's ears.He ordered someone to invite Su He secretly, and asked him why he spoke for him, and Su He euphemistically told Jiming the answer someone had already prepared for him.

——Although he was ordered by Jiang Su, he got a kit from Jiang Ze privately.I thought that this trip was a narrow escape, and I just opened the bag with an indifferent mentality, but found that Jiang Ze knew the brothers unexpectedly.So he decisively gave up the original method of lobbying, and changed to what Jiang Ze said, and he really stood firmly under Ji Yu's command.

He said: The ancients said that heroes come out of troubled times.Prince Yu is indeed talented, but because of lack of blood, he is not a person who can truly rule the world; His Highness is majestic and heroic, but his heart is full of hills and valleys, and the dragon is trapped in shallow water because of lack of opportunities... That's all for the rest of the story, I hope His Highness will cherish it!

When Ji Ming heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed, determined to assassinate Prince Yu.

The news sent back by Su He ends here.

Jiang Ze calculated the time, even if he traveled day and night at high speed, the news was about half a month ago.In other words, Ji Ming may have already attacked Ji Yu by now.As for whether he succeeds or not, it depends on other people.

Jiang Ze didn't pay much attention to this volume of confidential documents after reading it, and quickly put it aside to get busy with his own affairs.

——The winter solstice is approaching, and he has to prepare for the once-in-three-year sacrifice to heaven.

Since Zhou Wang proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, he often expressed his gratitude to God for nourishing all things by offering sacrifices to heaven, and praying for the blessing of the people in the world. This is the most solemn and solemn sacrificial ceremony. process.

The first thing that needs to be busy is the mianfu.

Different from ordinary clothes, the mian clothes for offering sacrifices to heaven are undoubtedly more gorgeous and solemn.The crown is twelve pins made of jade, with a hole on each side for inserting the jade rod, and a vermilion ribbon is tied on both sides of the rod, tied under the jaw, and a jade pearl hangs from each ear of the ribbon.The mianfu is a black upper garment and a vermilion lower garment, on which are painted golden sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, and nine dragon patterns, etc., which are unparalleled in dignity.

Since Jiang Ze ascended the throne, the Mianfu has been rushing to work, tried it on and modified it three times, and finally finished it on this day.When the servants carefully replaced Jiang Ze, Jiang Su had already stood outside the hall for a long time.

He didn't open an umbrella, but stood quietly in the snow.Snowflakes swirled and fell all over the sky, covering his shoulders.

But he seemed a little dull, and he didn't care.

Only when there was a creak from the palace gate did he slowly raise his eyes.

He saw Jiang Ze.

Wearing a mianfu and a jade crown, the young man appeared from the darkness little by little.Between the alternation of light and shadow, his eyes are inexplicably quiet and far away, as if he has filled the world into his eyes, and his whole body is like a falcon soaring in the nine heavens, making people have to look up and feel infinitely alienated.

Jiang Su's pupils shrank slightly.

For a moment, he even forgot who the person in front of him was, and just stared at this person for a moment, his whole body tensed up to the extreme.

But when Jiang Ze walked up to Jiang Su with great grace, he turned around triumphantly as if he had lost the burden of his disguise.

So the sky is full of silver and white, only this touch of wide-sleeved flowing fairy clothes is flying, making the most unique color in the world.

The horror all over his body was fleeting, and Jiang Su held his breath lightly as if in a daze.

He watched Jiang Ze smile at him, and suddenly felt that there was a scene of spring coming and a hundred flowers blooming in this smile.He heard his clear voice like gurgling water: "Is it good-looking?"

Jiang Su paused for a moment.Then he said in a neutral tone: "Since you are a boy, what's the use of looking good?"

Jiang Ze tilted his head, and the jade beads landed on his cheek.The warm jade color complements the blush on his cheeks more and more.

His smile was more natural: "If my brother thinks it is not good-looking, the heavens will definitely not think it is good-looking. At that time, what if the emperor blames it and the people will not have a good harvest next year?"

Jiang Su glanced at him again with a very light expression.

Then he told Jiang Ze four words: "Don't think too much."

There are still ten days before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Jiang Su is busy with hemp paper and privately recruiting staff, and Jiang Ze has more and more things to do.

Since the whole process is presided over by the emperor, Jiang Ze naturally has a lot to do.Leaving aside such trivial matters as he had to personally slaughter the livestock offered to the Emperor of Heaven, light firewood and offer wine and food, the most important thing for him was to dance "Cloud Gate" with the dance team.

In the previous life, I only danced this dance once, and it was 30 years ago.Later, when Jiang Su was gone, he simply abolished the step of the emperor dancing in person.But in this life, Jiang Su hasn't seen him dance yet... Let him dance once to show him.

So these days, a special person came to teach him the dance of Cloud Gate.

The Dance of Cloud Gate, as the name suggests, means clouds accompany auspiciousness.Since it is a gift to the Emperor of Heaven, it is of course different from the extremely charming dance of ordinary actors. It not only needs to express gratitude, respect, love, and prayer to the Emperor of Heaven, but also requires the performer to have the temperament of an exile.Therefore, the whole dance is not intense, but all movements must be calm and elegant, ethereal and sincere, without the slightest exaggeration.

Jiang Ze looked at it twice carefully, carefully figured out the connection and meaning of all the movements, and waved his hand very simply to make the dancer back away.Then he stretched himself, ready to get up and go to find Jiang Su to watch him practice.

Then came Taichang Sun adults.

Xu didn't have time to pester Jiang Su, Zhang Yi could clearly feel that Jiang Ze was not in a happy mood.Therefore, when Sun Taichang asked him "this matter should be handled in this way", he began to nod perfunctorily again, and ended the other party's pickiness with short sentences such as "oh", "um", "so be it".

Zhang Yi followed him, and finally couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Yi had followed Jiang Ze for more than a month.

With his ability, although he is not enough to understand the existence of this person whom his master puts on top of his heart - the performance of this person in front of Jiang Su and in front of others is really too different, as if the innocence of a child in his teens The childishness is compared to the indifference of the man of destiny, if he hadn't witnessed the light in his eyes when he saw Jiang Su appearing, Zhang Yi would have thought that there were two people.

But maybe because of lack of understanding, he could sense that Jiang Ze is not a simple person.Although he seemed to have no malice towards Jiang Su, he still secretly reminded Jiang Su not to fall into the trap.

But how did Jiang Su answer back then?

He couldn't see his expression, he only remembered the heroic back of his master, and his calm but almost imperceptible proud voice: "Of course he won't be a simple one—he's my younger brother." , is the emperor of the Jiang Kingdom!"

Forget it, so he thought.Although his master wanted the throne, he didn't seem to want to lose his younger brother even more. Maybe one day he would let go of his awkwardness and reconcile with his younger brother.Gods fight, what is he fussing about?

December [-]th, the winter solstice.

The funeral has come.
