Back to Zero

After the defeat, Shan Wenke took the rest of the Chize Army, packed up, and withdrew from Jueling City in an orderly manner, and did not flee like other countries after the defeat.It can also be regarded as Jun Lixuan giving Shan Wenke, the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne, a face.

As soon as the Chize army left, the Ye army occupied the city.After King You expressed his gratitude to Jun Lixuan, he began to lead the officials to arrange various matters in Jueling City.

After the main force entered the city and began to set up camp, Jun Lixuan let Ling Hongzhi watch first, turned his horse and ran towards Fengzhou City.

When entering the camp, the camp was very busy.Everyone is packing up their things, preparing to go over there in batches after the tents are set up.

"My lord." Seeing him coming back, Ming Li ran forward with a smile, knelt down and said, "Congratulations, your lord, you have won a great victory."

"Wake up, princess?"

Ming Li stood up and said with a smile: "The concubine is still sleeping, she got up half an hour ago and drank some water, then went back to sleep."

Jun Lixuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Prepare a carriage and spread a thick quilt."

"Yes, I'll do it right now." After Ming Li finished speaking, he ran towards the stable.

Compared with the busyness outside the tent, the inside of the tent is much quieter.Jun Lixuan walked to the bed lightly, afraid that the blood on his body would stain the bed, so he just stood aside, washed his hands with water from the copper basin, and then touched Ling Qiyang's forehead to make sure that he didn't have a fever, so he let it go Heart.

Ling Qiyang opened his eyes in a daze, and said in a hoarse voice: "You're back? How was the result?"

Jun Lixuan smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "We won. You can sleep peacefully, and I will take you to Xinying later."

Ling Qiyang nodded slightly, but still couldn't beat the drowsiness, and fell asleep again.

Jun Lixuan covered him with a quilt before going behind the screen and changed into clean clothes.Now the whole army is busy, and they can only wait until night to take a bath, so he simply wiped it with the clean water in the basin to wipe off the bloody smell on his body.

After he changed his clothes, the Mingli carriage was also ready.Jun Lixuan hugged Ling Qiyang into the carriage, and Mingli simply packed a few supplies, took Ling Qiyang's medicine box, and drove to Jueling City first.

By the time everything settled down, it was already night.Jun Lixuan wrote the memorial and sent it back to the capital quickly.Ling Qiyang still sat lazily on the bed, and could only eat porridge for dinner.

While eating, Xiaoying's voice came from outside the door, "I beg to see the prince."

"Come in." Hearing that it was Xiaoying, Jun Lixuan had no taboos, after all Xiaoying is also Qingzi now, and it's okay for her princess to be seen by him like this now.

Xiaoying walked in and saluted, "My lord, my concubine."

"It's a great achievement for you to kill Emperor Chi Ze today. I think that if I tell my father, I should be able to give you a certain official position in the army." After all, Xiaoying is the sweetheart of her sixth brother, so she can't always be so blind .

"My lord, I don't want to be an official, I just want to be like this, free and easy, and protect the people I want to protect." Xiaoying said.

Jun Lixuan could understand his thoughts, and he didn't force it, so he could talk about it later, "It's up to you. Are you here for business?"

"Yes. Now that the war is over, the subordinate wants to return to Beijing first."

The sixth brother asked Xiaoying to come here this time to see if there was anything he could do to help. Now that the matter has been resolved, it is time for Xiaoying to go back.Thinking of this, Jun Lixuan said, "You should leave tomorrow. Tonight, I'll have someone prepare a bag, dry food and water for you. Don't lose yourself on the way."

Now Xiaoying is a member of the sixth brother from the inside out, and he can be regarded as his own family. Naturally, Jun Lixuan can't treat him badly, let alone make his sixth brother worry.

"Thank you, my lord." Xiaoying saluted.

Ling Qiyang originally wanted Xiaoying to stay for a few more days, or to go with them to the second brother's fiefdom.But thinking about it, for Xiaoying, Jun Liche is the number one, and he can't force him to stay, so he lets him go.Anyway, after returning to Beijing, there are plenty of days to see each other.

"I'll pack some medicine for you. There are a lot of mosquitoes and flies now. If you are bitten while sleeping, you can apply some medicine." When the weather gets hot, people in Ye country will bring some sachets made of mosquito-repelling herbs.While useful, it's not foolproof.

"Yes, thank you princess."

"Between you and me, why are you being polite?" Ling Qiyang said with a smile.

Xiaoying also raised the corner of her mouth, "Then I won't bother you any more, and I will take my leave first."

"Go." Jun Lixuan replied.

Xiaoying withdrew from the tent, not forgetting to close the curtain.

"I hope Xiaoying can fully accept Sixth Brother when she goes back this time." Ling Qiyang said.

Jun Lixuan flicked his forehead and said with a smile, "Just take care of yourself."

Ling Qiyang smiled, and continued to eat the porridge Jun Lixuan fed.

King You's restoration of people's livelihood at the border is not something that will happen overnight. The battle may only take a few months, but it will take at least two or three years for the people's livelihood to be fully restored.

Jun Lixuan was fine now, so he arranged for the soldiers to take turns to help the people of You to rebuild their homes.

"As soon as the imperial edict arrives, I will go back to the fief. Originally, I was supposed to visit the palace at this time, but this year I will be exempted." Jun Chengjing stood beside Jun Lixuan and said with a smile.He knew that his father had no intention of making him the crown prince, and he was unwilling to fight for it, and Emperor Yanxi had fulfilled his father's responsibility to him, so he had no resentment towards Emperor Yanxi.In addition, he is doing well now, so he has no idea of ​​fighting for power.

"Chendi has something to tell Second Brother." Jun Lixuan turned his head and said.

"what?"

"Chendi wants to take Qiyang to the second brother's fief for a walk. Qiyang has never traveled far, so Chendi wants to take this opportunity to take him for a walk, but strange places are not safe, so I thought of second brother's place. This For several years, the empress, the third brother and the sixth brother are also very concerned about the situation of the second brother. Although you say it is very good every time you go back to the capital, but if you don’t see it with your own eyes, you can’t rest assured as a younger brother. So if the second brother doesn’t mind, please allow me The younger brother and Qi Yang went to stay for a few days, so they can go back and talk to the Queen Mother to make them feel at ease." Jun Lixuan said seriously.

Jun Chengjing smiled, "That's great, the second brother has always been afraid that you think the place is remote and you don't want to come. Now that you want to come, the second brother can't wait for it!"

"What did the second brother talk about, your place, how can the brothers dislike it, but they are always afraid of nagging the second brother." Jun Lixuan said with a light smile.

"Well, second brother can invite you to go there with confidence in the future." Jun Chengjing's eyes were full of smiles.

"I can't ask for it." Jun Lixuan nodded.

"By the way, I have a very effective Seeking Son Temple, if you come to play, why don't you take your younger brother to pay respects." Jun Chengjing said very proudly: "Everyone in my fief who seeks an heir will go to offer incense. Almost everyone who goes there has children."

"Really?" Jun Lixuan had never heard of such an effective place.

"Naturally. I'm afraid that if the news about Qiuzi Temple gets out, if there are too many people coming to the fiefdom, it will arouse the suspicion of the emperor, and it will only cause trouble. Of course, there is no rumor."

Jun Lixuan looked at Jun Chengjing, and said, "If it's true, why doesn't the second elder brother have one, and the next generation of the royal family will have successors."

Jun Chengjing shook his head with a smile, lowered his voice, and said, "Second brother will not hide it from you. The situation in the court is unclear now, and the position of the crown prince is vacant.

If I have a child now, if one of you, Li Yuan, or Li Che becomes the crown prince in the future, then I can rest easy.But if it is someone else, I am afraid that my life will not be easy.If they use children to coerce me at that time, I will really be in a dilemma. "

"Second brother is very thoughtful." Being in the royal family, even though he has been out of the palace, he has to be cautious.

"On the contrary, if you have children first, you will be the eldest grandson of the royal family, and the emperor will be more inclined to you." In the country of Ye, where children are rare, if you have an heir, there is definitely an extra layer of chance of winning. I didn't find a concubine either, and I heard that the third concubine was demoted, so I don't want such a woman. So now the heavy responsibility falls on you, work hard, and strive to give birth to a nephew for me as soon as possible."

Jun Lixuan laughed, and said: "I do want a child, but it has nothing to do with the throne, I just want a child like Qiyang."

"Hahaha, if you had told me this a year ago, I would have thought you had a fever. Now I think it's really like what others said, since you married Ling Qiyang, your personality has improved a lot." Jun Chengjing laughed. .

"Being in it, some things will change with him involuntarily. But I am willing to make some changes." As long as it is for Ling Qiyang, he is willing to make some changes. Yang go to offer incense."

"Okay. Then I'll get someone to prepare first, and then you will return to the fief with me."

"Okay." Jun Lixuan nodded in response.

A few days later, Shan Wenke came to the Daye army as the new emperor of Chize. On the surface, he was discussing with Daye about the allies, but in fact he came to express his gratitude.

After entering the big tent, Shan Wenke retreated to the left and right, and then smiled at Jun Lixuan, "Thank you for your kindness."

"Is your emperor doing well?" Jun Lixuan was not very polite, and he didn't use any honorifics.

Shan Wenke sat relaxed on the chair and shook his head helplessly, "Sitting in this position, I realize that there are far more things to solve than I thought, and I can't relax even if I want to. The people in the city are the only ones who are in chaos. However, it is the court that is in chaos. The late emperor killed many officials who benefited from it, so that the court personnel were nervous. In addition, those who had benefited from the previous emperor refused to accept me as emperor , although I didn’t dare to rebel, but I couldn’t prevent them from making trouble in private. After thinking about it, the only place where I can rest at ease is Lord Lin, so I came here.” It’s a bit ridiculous to think about it, the place where he can relax is actually The former enemy army camp, he, the emperor, was also somewhat sad.

"Things went much smoother than I originally thought. Fortunately, someone stood up and embraced you as the emperor, otherwise it would be a waste of my king and princess's thoughts."

"I didn't expect that if the first emperor didn't bring me to the battlefield and let me take the opportunity to win people's hearts, I'm afraid I would still be fighting for one or two." Now his tenth brother, Chi Ze's last emperor, can only be called The first emperor.Although his faults outweighed his merits, Shan Wenke still had to bury him for the face of the royal family.

"I have to say that it is the first emperor Chi Ze who really lost his heart." Jun Lixuan said.

Shan Wenke nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Why don't you see Princess Lin?"

"My concubine, why did you come to see you?" Jun Lixuan raised his eyebrows, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Don't dare, it's just that the princess has helped me so much. I have prepared some gifts, and I ask the princess to accept it." Shan Wenke said, taking out a token from his sleeve, "This is my order. In the future, you can use this thing to enter and exit the Blaze at will. You can also take it to the local government if you encounter trouble, and seeing it is like seeing me."

Jun Lixuan frowned slightly, "Even if my concubine helped you, there is no need for such a big thank you." In his opinion, this thing must not be accepted lightly.

"I know that the prince and the concubine are both sensible people, and they will never do anything to harm the people of the two countries, so I am willing to give this item to the concubine. I also hope that you can come to Chize to play when you have time. "Shan Wenke obviously didn't intend to take it back.

Jun Lixuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "I will accept the things on behalf of the princess, it depends on what he wants."

"Very good." Shan Wenke nodded, handed the token to Jun Lixuan, and said, "In a few days, I'm going to Daye to discuss the alliance with Emperor Yanxi."

"Well, after solving the problem of Emperor Chi Ze, Emperor Father must be willing to think about it." Jun Lixuan said.

"Then I would like to ask the prince to say a few words for Chi Ze." Shan Wenke said with a smile.

Jun Lixuan looked at him and said, "Is that why you gave the token?"

"Don't dare, it's just to push the prince and his family to the top in the future, and have more say." Shan Wenke did not forget his promise at the time.

Jun Lixuan nodded, "The King of Huaben will talk about it. As for sincerity, it depends on yourself."

"I understand." Shan Wenke smiled deeper, feeling that it would be wisest for him to cooperate with King Lin.

Shan Wenke didn't leave the barracks until after dinner.

Jun Lixuan counted the days, and the imperial decree is coming soon, so he also needs to make some preparations, and take his wife and relatives to the fief to enjoy the comfort that belongs to them...
