The king's apex spoils him and is reborn

The wind blew the fragrance and filled the quiet night. Xiao Beichen watched people trot out of the house, looked back suddenly under the full moonlight, and said with a smirk that succeeded: "Next time, I will give you back the drunken sex!" .”

Xiao Beichen raised his eyebrows, and watched the people laughing and walking away from the same spot, unconsciously curling the corners of his lips.

Ji Muqing brought the horse and went straight to the palace gate.He galloped swiftly, jumping out just as the palace gate was slowly closing, which surprised the general guarding the gate.

The guard Duan Yan, who was following closely behind, turned around and said sorry, then caught up with Ji Muqing and asked, "Master, why do you have to hurry back at night?"

Ji Muqing asked back: "Who did His Royal Highness call back to the government?"

"It's a small eunuch who runs errands full-time. I don't know who his subordinates are."

Ji Muqing nodded, feeling faintly uncomfortable.In this life, he heard Xiao Beichen say with his own ears that he would send someone to visit the Ji Mansion. If there were no accidents, it would have been the same in the previous life.However, Ji's House in the previous life did not receive the report in the end, so something must have gone wrong.

While thinking, he had already rushed back to Ji's Mansion, and happened to run into his father who was wearing an official uniform and was about to enter the palace.

Ji Muqing is the concubine's son of Ji's parents, and his father, Ji Huaiyuangui, is the grand tutor and the monarch's companion since childhood.Mother Yao is a lady from a famous family, but she loves her only child very much.Sure enough, Ji Muqing didn't return for a long time that night, so she anxiously asked Ji Huaiyuan to go to the palace to find him.

After Ji Muqing got off his horse, he strode up to Mother Ji and knelt down to plead guilty, "Mother, I'm back. It's cold in the middle of the night, next time you wait in the house."

The worry on Mother Ji's brows was fleeting, "Where did you go, kid? I'll talk to my family next time when I come back late. It's all right, get up."

"Hey, he's such an adult, he can take care of himself." Father Ji didn't ask any more questions, handed the gauze cap to the boy beside him, and walked into the inner room while breathing.

Mother Ji disagreed, and retorted: "Qing'er is only 22 years old."

"You can start a family at the age of 22."

"That's good, marry a daughter-in-law early and come back and miss home more."

"Stop, stop." Seeing that the momentum was not right, Ji Muqing quickly interrupted the conversation between the two elders, then he turned to Ji Huaiyuan and asked, "Father, did the palace send someone to send a message?"

Ji Huaiyuan and Ji Mu looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "I didn't see anyone, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Ji Muqing frowned, and secretly thought something was wrong after a while, and after saying goodbye to the elders, he ordered Duan Yan: "Send someone to the palace gate to ask if there is any travel record of the prince's eunuchs, if no one returns, call Nan Yasu guards stepped up their patrols." Ji Muqing paused, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, "It is bound to see people alive and dead."

Ji Muqing didn't sleep well that night, he kept thinking about delivering the letter.It's still early to restart, and many ruthless characters have not yet arrived in the capital.Then Xiao Beichen's brother Xiao Mingxuan would probably be the one who would attack them at this time.

Xiao Mingxuan is not a very cunning person, but he knows people well, and he has many disciples who can speak up.He did not care about his family status, and supported some people from poor families, some of them would be brilliant in the future, but they still remembered their kindness, and even pleaded for mercy after Xiao Mingxuan made trouble.

But if he is really obstructing it this time, it is indeed not the wise king's choice to use any means to achieve his goal.

However, in Ji Muqing's rebirth, he never thought of asking Xiao Beichen to hand over the country to Xiao Mingxuan. After all, after Xiao Beichen's death in the previous life, the Donggan Kingdom did not change hands.Although Ji Muqing was appointed as the regent when he was in danger, what he has been doing for the past ten years is still the important task of protecting the country as a general.

The monarch Xiao Tianze has heirs left to the people. This is the biggest secret that Ji Muqing has mastered since he was reborn, and it is also his trump card that he can embrace the king.

Thinking of Xiao Beichen, his heart blossomed again.Ji Muqing thought that she would talk about the relationship between the two of them for a long time, but she never thought about it overnight and decided for a lifetime.But now that Xiao Beichen has just reached the weak crown, the things that suppress his confidence may not have happened yet.

—but at least I can face it with you.

Ji Muqing thought about the desire that could not be concealed in Xiao Beichen's eyes when he looked at Xiao Beichen before parting, and he tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep with a smile.

The next morning——

Sensing the light entering the room, Ji Muqing lazily turned over.At this moment, he seemed to be in a happy mood, shaking the bell beside the bed vigorously.Today, he didn't need to go to the garrison academy outside the city early, so he took a little longer to get up.

"Master." Time Yan came back with the news, "He's gone. He was fished out of the moat this morning."

Ji Muqing was not surprised that the eunuch who sent the letter was directly murdered. He silently looked at the porridge in front of him, drank it a few times, then got up and went out, "Let's go to the punishment department."

Since Ji Muqing had informed the police last night that he was looking for someone, his identity could be confirmed very quickly when the body was recovered this morning.Since the victim was an eunuch under the current crown prince, he could not deal with an ordinary murder case.

Zhang Yuanyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, frowned as he looked at the report made by Wu.He said to Ji Muqing seriously: "General Ji, Wu Zuo has been determined to have died of drowning, no fatal injuries were found, and there are no traces of external force left on his body."

Hearing this, Ji Muqing was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "This may not rule out homicide, please trouble Master Shangshu more, after all, this person involves the crown prince."

Zhang Yuanyi nodded, "If the general doesn't mention it, I will naturally know the importance of it."

"The junior will thank you first." Ji Muqing nodded.Then he saw that Zhang Yuanyi didn't intend to continue talking in detail, so he got up and left.But he is the left guard general of Nanya, so Yu Li can't inquire too much about the case of the Ministry of Punishment.

After leaving the punishment department, Ji Muqing called Duan Yan, "Did the guards find anything last night?"

Duan Yan shook his head and said, "Except for the body found this morning, no suspicious person was found."

Hearing this, Ji Muqing frowned.The eunuch's body was found in the outer river of the moat, and no matter which way you take from the palace to Ji's mansion, it is impossible to pass through the outer river.But there were no marks of beatings on the body, so it wasn't someone who violently took it out of the river.

"Perhaps they pushed people down from the inland river." Duan Yan guessed softly from time to time.

Ji Muqing was stunned for a moment, "Neihe...Does the Beiya Imperial Army eat free food?"

The inner river of the moat is on the periphery of the palace, and is patrolled by the Beiya imperial guards who are directly under the monarch.The Beiya Forbidden Army has six armies, two of which are Left and Right Shence Army.The inner river is only five miles above the ground, and the rest are underground rivers, which bypass the bustling streets to connect with the outer river.

Duan Yan scratched his head, and said with a dry smile: "This subordinate also guessed casually, but the river outside is long, and there will always be places we can't see."

Ji Muqing glanced at him, didn't say much, and then fell into deep thought.

"However, my subordinates still don't understand why the sender must be killed." Duan Yan broke the silence again.

"I want to know too." Ji Muqing paused, with a little resentment on his brows, "There are so many ways to stop a person, but the other party uses the most ruthless one."

He thought again: And even if he stayed in the palace last night, after the people from Ji's mansion found him, he still couldn't help but be scolded.Ji Muqing pursed her lips, thinking again: Or maybe the other party has calculated that he and Xiao Beichen will definitely hang out?But last night's food and wine were fine.

This kind of feeling that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light is really bad.Ji Muqing sighed, and felt that thinking about it like this was not an option, so he got on the horse and said, "Let's go to Waihe to have a look."

The royal capital is surrounded by red walls and black tiles, which gives a sense of solemnity when viewed from a distance.Before dawn, the city gates were overcrowded with people, those carrying goods were waiting for the gates to open early, and sometimes even wealthy families in carriages could be seen.

However, the city gate to the west of the capital is the least accessible, because if you go further west from here, you can reach the western border.The western border is not the border of the Dungan Kingdom.In the 11th year of Hongkang, the Donggan Kingdom and the Chijin Kingdom fought at Moyan Pass outside the western border.The Donggan Kingdom was defeated and retreated to the west, and has not regained the lost land so far.

The capital of the king is close to the western border, and the ministers once tried to persuade them to move the capital, but the monarch Xiao Tianze ignored them all, and only said: If the western border can't even be defended, then this country is worse than surrendering to others.

No one thought that these words were almost a prophecy.

Three years later, Xiao Beichen succeeded to the throne, but was shot dead by internal thieves in the western border.The regent Ji Muqing retreated another hundred miles from the border, and then wiped out the rebels hiding in the capital with lightning speed, and regained the lost land in the western border and Moyan Pass within ten years.

For ten years, some radicals among the officials seized on Xiao Tianze's words and kept secretly persuading Ji Muqing to take the throne, but in the end Ji Muqing only hoped for the next life and returned the dynasty intact to the Xiao family's blood.

At this moment, Ji Muqing was climbing up to lean on the railing.He looked at the vast yellow sand in the distance, his hands trembling unceasingly.He doesn't like war, but in those ten years, he can't remember how much flesh and blood he trampled under the horse's hoof.

Duan Yan saw that he was not in the right mood, so he asked softly: "Master, what did you think of?"

Ji Muqing shook his head, and said: "It's nothing, just sentimental." Then he straightened his mind before turning his attention back to the murder case.

The part of the moat outside the city surrounds the four city walls. If there is any movement, the guards on the city walls should be able to detect it, so the death is most likely inside the city.After thinking clearly, Ji Muqing took Duan Yan along the road and asked some people who lived by the river, but none of them got any useful information.

"Forget it, let's go to Nanya to deal with military affairs first." Ji Muqing frowned, and finally decided to postpone the matter.He added: "It's a big deal. When the Ministry of Criminal Justice reports the results later, I will ask my friends from Dali Temple to help me pay attention."

Duan Yan listened to this suggestion and said: "Master, if you really can't let go, it's better to let His Royal Highness directly negotiate with the Criminal Ministry and send someone from our side to participate in the case."

"He..." Ji Muqing stopped, turned his head to suppress a smile and said, "Why bother the prince with such a trivial matter."

Duan Yan looked up slightly, "Master, you used to go to the palace to talk to the crown prince about the big things."

"Really?" Ji Muqing's eyes lit up, she touched the tip of her nose and said, "I'm so clingy?"

"Yes, thanks to the prince's patience."

Ji Muqing thought about it, as if she loved being by Xiao Beichen's side since she was a child.Whatever he said, Xiao Beichen would listen quietly, never being annoying, and never refusing.

If you have a husband like this, what more can you ask for.If the rebirth of this life is because of the persistence in the previous life, then how could I be favored by you in the last life because of my virtue.

With a smile on the corner of Ji Muqing's mouth, he let out a light breath and said, "Then go visit him tomorrow."

The author has something to say: Ji Muqing: Tomorrow I will visit my lord, today I will be more reserved.
