wait for me to be king

Qi Yuan sat in the study in a daze.

This place is the Jinyang County Office, and he has been in Jinyang for three days.

As if evading, he hurriedly left from Yanmen Pass and came here. Qi Yuan planned to leave Jinyang immediately with his wife and children. There was also an imperial decree to make him King of Jin.

He accepted the imperial edict calmly, but there was a faint ripple in his heart.

It was different from the beginning.

In the previous life, after the Yanmenguan War ended, the father ascended the throne and conferred the title of acting concubine Li as the empress. The second younger brother took advantage of the opportunity to become King Ying, and was granted a license to live in Tai'an Palace without going to the fiefdom.

As for myself, I was just named a county king at will. If his eldest son Zhao'er was not loved by his father at that time, and his second brother needed to keep his filial piety and had no emperor's grandson for the time being, he would have never been able to stay in the capital. Throw it to the fief.

Thinking of his eldest son, a smile appeared on Qi Yuan's face.

Mrs. Fu taught her eldest son very well, but...

Qi Yuan's face became gloomy again, Fu Shi is a qualified princess and will be a qualified queen in the future, but that's it.

Ye Ning, Marquis of Chengyang... Qi Yuan sighed deeply. It's a pity that he was reborn too late. If he had been a few years earlier, he would never have agreed to marry Mrs. Fu.

But everything will be fine, and when he becomes the Ninth Five Lord in the future, he can...

He suddenly thought of Xie Changfeng.

If he becomes the emperor, what will Xie Changfeng's attitude be like?Will it still be as reckless as it is now?Or will he be equated with ordinary people?

Think about Xie Changfeng kneeling down with a respectful face... Qi Yuan subconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

How can a person who is all-powerful on the battlefield and enjoys the bloody storm show that kind of submissive appearance?

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the more confused he became. He wanted to get rid of Xie Changfeng, but he couldn't do it. Sometimes his mind was cold and distant at first, sometimes it was his calm and reliable back in the mountains, and sometimes he had long hair in the dark. Like a waterfall, eyes like the guardian of a ghost wolf...

What impressed me the most was, of course, the lonely back of him standing on his horse looking at the desert amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Such a person, such a person!

Qi Yuan clenched his fists tightly, remembering what Xie Changfeng said before parting.

"How do you determine right from wrong? How do you judge right from wrong? How do you judge right from wrong? How do you distinguish between good and evil?"

Putting aside right and wrong, just asking yourself, what Xie Changfeng said remained in Qi Yuan's heart after all.

He is a generation of emperor, how will the history books comment on his merits and demerits thousands of years after his death?

Do you scold him for being a son of man but imprisoning his father and killing his brother, disregarding human relations, being tyrannical, arrogant and cruel...or praising him for opening up territories, maintaining a peaceful government and a peaceful and prosperous age, as a bright master of a generation?

Qi Yuan's heart was a little confused.

But before he could adjust his mentality, the latest imperial decree came again.

Qi Yuan was in a daze, what did he hear?The royal father actually canonized him as... the crown prince?

Is this edict really correct?

Li Fu, the chief eunuch who came to deliver the decree, looked at the new Crown Prince who seemed to be in a daze, and took a step forward with a smile, then bent his waist again, "His Royal Highness? Please accept the order."

Only then did Qi Yuan take a deep breath, and after receiving the imperial edict, he stood up slowly.

"I don't know what other orders the emperor has?"

Li Fu smiled and said, "Your Highness is being polite, Your Majesty has something to say, I hope you can return to the capital before the year."

Qi Yuan nodded, "Let me pack up and leave immediately."

Li Fu's eyes flashed, and he said again, "Your Highness, Your Majesty even ordered your servants to go to the border to reward the soldiers, so your servants can't escort you back to Beijing, so please make atonement."

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Director Li, you are being polite. Since you are responsible for Huang's life, of course you must put the above meaning first. Director Li is loyal. How can we talk about the word redemption?"

The smile on Mr. Li's face grew wider, "Although the servants cannot escort you back to the capital, your Highness does not need to worry." He stepped aside, "This is the crown prince, Taifu, Wang Cong."

Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a warm smile, "Lord Wang."

Wang Cong bowed and saluted, "Meet Your Highness."

Looking at Wang Cong who bowed down, Qi Yuan was filled with emotion. In his previous life, he committed atrocities such as imprisoning his father and killing his younger brother. Throwing the official hat on the ground and flicking his sleeves away, walking with Wang Cong were all the nobles of the entire Great Chu Dynasty.

In the second year of Enke, there were only a handful of people who took part in the imperial examination, and then his two ungrateful uncles directly rebelled in the feudal domain, pointing their swords at the capital on the grounds of punishing him as a traitor.

The world was in turmoil, and the civil war lasted for two years. Although he won the victory with difficulty, the family fortune that Emperor Xuanming tried to restore during his reign was completely ruined by him, and it took him a full ten years to recover.

Thinking about those thrilling and turbulent years, and looking at Wang Cong bowing before him, Qi Yuan clearly realized for the first time that he went back to the past, he had a different beginning, and a completely unknown future .

He showed a faint smile, noble and deep, calm and elegant, "Excuse me, I will ask Master Wang to worry about it from now on."

Wang Cong got up and looked at the prince who had a condensed demeanor and a gentle smile in front of him, his heart was full of excitement, "Your Highness, you are welcome. If this is the case, I will trust you."

Mr. Li was taken aback for a moment, is it possible that Mr. Wang wants to warn you just after meeting?

Wang Cong said, "As the crown prince, Your Highness should call himself Gu!"

Qi Yuan is familiar with Wang Cong's temper, he nodded with a smile, and said, "What Master Wang said is true, I understand."

Wang Cong was very pleased. The new crown prince listened to the advice and behaved gently and gracefully. The future of Dachu is hopeful!

After Qi Yuan became the crown prince, the whole of Jinyang was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the governor of Jinyang served him with all his heart. Because Emperor Xuanming had said that Qi Yuan should return to Beijing as soon as possible, so Qi Yuan only rested for two days in a hurry. Then set off for Beijing.

Before he left, he still remembered the agreement with Xie Changfeng to make up for Yan Dai's money, rations and military supplies. After the appointment, Qi Yuan simply decided to report directly to Emperor Xuanming after returning to Beijing.

Besides, the bandit Xie Changfeng swallowed up the Daijun family directly, so that much money and food would not be enough for the winter?

Hehe, wait!

The news at the border was slower. It was not until half a month after Qi Yuan left that Xie Changfeng knew that Qi Yuan was first named King of Jin, and then he became His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Xie Changfeng sighed, feeling a little melancholy. After becoming the crown prince, Qi Yuan might not have the chance to leave the capital, and it is impossible for him to stay in the capital as a general guarding the border. If so, let it be like this.

Forget about the rivers and lakes.

The end of the year is approaching, even if the emperor changes, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the atmosphere at Yanmen Pass is still getting stronger day by day.

Dingguo Gong Lin Jingcheng rushed back to Dai County with a large team. Before the appointment of the new Dai County Sheriff, Li Zhao and Li Changshi were temporarily in charge of Dai County affairs. Lin Jingcheng's army was stationed in the outskirts of Dai County. Fifty soldiers returned to their former Zhennan General's Mansion, full of grief in their hearts.

His son...

The gate of the General’s Mansion has long been dilapidated, and it is full of blood and corpses. Before Lin Jingcheng could open his mouth, Uncle Wang quickly asked people to restrain the corpses. Most of the guards of the General’s Mansion were veterans, and they were also Lin Jingcheng’s old subordinates. Seeing this scene, Lin Jingcheng’s expression turned pale. bleak up.

The further in, the more intense the battle, and the corpses began to become mutilated. Some veterans had broken arms and legs, and they were still biting the Huns' legs tightly with their teeth. The meat of the Huns' legs was cut off.

The battle stopped in the study room, which was full of corpses of guards, blood splashed all over the bookcase, but Uncle Wang's eyes lit up, the shelves of the bookcase were empty! !

Lin Jingcheng strode forward, touched the corner of the wall, and then pushed hard, and the wall behind the bookcase sank silently.

Pushing open the secret door, Lin Jingcheng froze.

There was a dead body at the door. Beside the dead body were piles of books that Mrs. Zheng brought as a dowry. The books were thrown around in a mess, as if they had been thrown in in a hurry without sorting them out.

Due to the cold weather in winter, the corpse did not decompose. Judging by his face, it was his second son Lin Jin! !

His son seemed to be asleep, leaning against the box of books, as if just taking a nap, as long as there was a slight movement, he could open his eyes and smile.

"Jin'er!!"

Lin Jingcheng's call was very soft, very soft, and with this gentle call, he finally couldn't hold back the tears, and fell down his mottled and old cheeks.

When a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, life is very sad.

The remaining Daijun people returned to Daijun and began to clean up the dilapidated homes.

By the time of December and January of the next year, the people of Dai County can already see smiles on their faces. No matter what, life will continue.

Lin Jin was not buried in Dai County. Lin Jingcheng burned his son's body and put it in an urn, enshrining it in front of the Buddha, wishing them a happy and healthy life in the future.

Lin Jingcheng didn't want his wife and children to stay in Daijun, "When I leave my armor and return to the fields, I want to take them back to my hometown and be buried in the old forest where I was born and raised."

Lin supported her stomach and came over to offer incense.

Xie Changfeng knelt down together with Mrs. Lin. There were three urns and three memorial tablets in front of the Buddha. From left, Mrs. Lin Zheng, Mrs. Lin Ye, Mrs. Lin Jin.

Lin Jingcheng stood aside, and after Xie Changfeng and the Lin family finished offering incense, he said, "Changfeng, Qingniang said in a letter that you are willing to adopt a child to the Lin family?"

Xie Changfeng nodded, "That's right." After a pause, "It's just this one."

He didn't want to really have sex with the girl again.

Lin Jingcheng stood still in front of Xie Changfeng, and bowed solemnly, "Changfeng, my Lin family will remember this kindness forever."

Xie Changfeng smiled and said, "Father-in-law is being polite, we are all one family, and the child is adopted, so can I not care about him?"

Lin Jingcheng patted Xie Changfeng's shoulder repeatedly, and said excitedly, "Okay, okay!"

At this moment, Mrs. Lin was seven months pregnant, and many doctors swore that the baby was a boy. Lin Jingcheng and Mrs. Lin felt hopeful after hearing this, but after Lin Jingcheng thought about it, if this was really a boy, then he would be the eldest son of Xie Changfeng. However, Xie Changfeng is willing to adopt the child to the Lin family, so he has to reciprocate.

He asked Xie Changfeng to name the child.

Xie Changfeng thought for a while, "Let's call him Lin Xi."

Xi, dawn, hope.

Since this child is the hope of the Lin family and the eldest son of Xie Changfeng, then he should be named after it.

May he be like the light of dawn, bringing infinite hope and vitality.
