The king's apex spoils him and is reborn
Chapter 5 The Bell
Gradually slanting to the west, Ji Muqing returned home facing the last twilight.As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his parents were already sitting at the dining table, talking and waiting for him.
"Father, why are you so happy?" Ji Muqing asked curiously when he saw the joy on Ji Huaiyuan's face.
"Oh, Qing'er is back." Ji Huaiyuan waved his hand and asked the servants to serve the dishes, and then continued: "It's nothing, it's just that the king just made a decree to choose a concubine for the crown prince. I think you and the crown prince have been friends since childhood." , why not take this opportunity to pick someone you like, and your mother and I can also start planning for your marriage."
The hand drinking tea hovered in the air, Ji Muqing slowly raised her eyes, and said with a dry smile, "What did you say?"
"Ah?" Ji Huaiyuan thought he didn't understand the second part of the sentence, so he repeated it again, "It's me and your mother who are going to ask for a wife for you."
In fact, Ji Muqing didn't hear clearly, he took a deep breath, suppressed his smile and asked again in a deep voice: "The prince wants to choose a concubine?"
"That's right, the decree just made in the afternoon, our family wants your cousin to try it too." Then Ji Huaiyuan looked at his son's distraught look, thinking that the matter of getting married was brought up in a hurry, so he said directly about the princess. Candidates, but this only adds fuel to the fire.
Ji Muqing's face became more and more ugly, and finally he couldn't eat, so he put down his chopsticks and got up, "I'll go out for a while." The two elders who were chatting excitedly disappeared before they had time to react.
In the previous life, there was also the matter of the crown prince choosing a concubine, but it happened several months later.And this life is directly the second day of rebirth!The change came so suddenly that Ji Muqing was caught off guard.He was driving on Zhuque Street, and he had arrived at the palace before he knew it.
The gatekeeper of the Meridian Gate was not surprised to see him, he greeted him and saluted, "General Ji, do you have a summons?"
Ji Muqing shook his head, paused for a while before saying: "Help me pass on Qinghui Hall, Ji Muqing please see the prince."
He paid close attention to the choice of concubine by the prince in the previous life day and night, and finally settled on Yun Nishang, the eldest granddaughter of the grand master of the Donggan Kingdom.Fortunately, Yun Nishang's heart secretly promised others, and the grand master loved his granddaughter so he refused the marriage.But this handsome guest who has inherited the beauty's affection has not yet appeared, how can this make the Yun family push the marriage?
Ji Muqing only felt a sharp pain in his head, and wanted to hurry to find another person.He secretly sighed: Life is impermanent, it is really a night of spring warmth and a night of winter cold.
At the same time, in Changhua Hall, Xiao Beichen was kneeling.He squeezed his palm tightly and looked up at the frowning person on the high seat.
Xiao Tianze had never felt this strangeness, but as a monarch, he naturally would not take it seriously.He calmly waited until the sky was completely dark, and then said earnestly: "Last night, Gu was happy to see Ji Lingjing returned home, but I didn't expect you still didn't understand."
Xiao Beichen also received news that his eunuch had been killed during the day, and was about to send someone to investigate carefully, so Xiao Tianze sent someone to invite him over.At this time, the two looked at each other, and he understood at a glance that his father had been paying attention to his actions, and that the eunuch who died unfortunately was also the handiwork of this unkind monarch.
Seeing that Xiao Tianze didn't hide anything, he bluntly said what he thought in his heart, "My son is stupid, I don't know what is wrong with loving someone."
Xiao Tianze still had that teaching appearance, "You are the future monarch, you must act rationally, and you must not be swayed by your children's affection."
"I know how to measure, but if I don't even have the courage to love someone, how can I be a king who cares about the common people?" Xiao Beichen clenched his hands into fists and straightened his body to express his words.
"But Ji Lingjing is a man, can your feelings for him be the same as the love between men and women?"
"I love him regardless of gender."
Xiao Beichen's words were extraordinarily serious.Xiao Tianze could see the firmness in his eyes, and knew his tenacity. After pondering for a moment, he sighed: "Well, you can... get in touch with him, and don't care about your private affairs." Xiao Tianze paused, speaking with Majestic, "But you must choose a lady from a famous family to be the crown princess."
"My son only recognizes one person in this life, like this..." Xiao Beichen knew that his father had regressed, but he still refused to accept this method, "It means that both parties owe a debt."
Xiao Tianze was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he came back to his senses after a while, and felt that this single-mindedness was extremely ridiculous.He forcefully asked: "You are the future emperor, the country that your ancestors conquered, do you want to ruin it because of your own love?"
The matter of heirs must be faced after all, Xiao Beichen lowered his eyes and did not answer.He himself doesn't care about having offspring, he just wants to join hands with the person he loves and spend his whole life with him.
"Father..." After a long time, Xiao Beichen saluted again, and said tentatively: "It's hard for a minister to take on such a big responsibility."
Xiao Tianze couldn't believe it, he opened his eyes and suppressed his anger and said, "Say it again."
"My son..."
"Gu sent Ji Lingjing to the border."
Suddenly, Xiao Beichen stood up, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.He tried his best to keep his tone calm, and said solemnly: "Then Father, please send me there together."
"You..." Xiao Tianze looked at the indifference in his eyes, and took a few steps back to stabilize his shaking body.He couldn't believe that the son he had taught since childhood would contradict him like this for one person.
The stagnant atmosphere lingered for a long time, he looked at the sky, then turned his head and said sharply: "Gu has already given in, think about it for yourself, stay here tonight for Gu, and don't allow anyone to see you."
***
"General Ji, do you want to come back tomorrow?" The general guarding the gate looked at Ji Muqing's lonely back, and finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He continued to comfort him: "Normally speaking, even if you are not allowed to enter the palace, there will be rumors. It has been a long time since I haven't seen any rumors, probably because His Royal Highness was summoned by the monarch."
Ji Muqing glanced at him blankly, and only slightly nodded to express his approval.Then he looked up at Gui Dian Lan Palace in the palace, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.After a while, he didn't look any more, and was about to pay his respects and leave, when thunder came from the sky not far away.
The footsteps of leaving did not move for an instant, and the memories of that night, mixed with blood, flooded into my mind.Because of this, Ji Muqing was suddenly in a trance, as if the nightmarish scene from his previous life was before his eyes again.
"Xiao Beichen, come out." Ji Muqing murmured, he only felt that looking at people day and night could make him feel at ease, and then he walked towards the palace gate in a strange manner.
"General Ji? General Ji stop!"
"General Ji, if you go any further, you are trespassing on the palace!"
Seeing this, the guards stepped forward to stop him, but Ji Muqing didn't seem to listen to anything. His eyes were only on the high cage-like wall, until a cluster of sparks rose into the sky.
The guards looked back at the break, all glaring and puzzled, because the spark was the signal to charge, but then they panicked.Most of the people ignored Ji Muqing and rushed towards the Changhua Hall with their swords and shields.
"As ordered, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Ji Muqing didn't move forward either. After he said this with a chuckle, he stood there and watched the spark go out to the last light, and then he covered his heart and turned to leave.
After rushing home, Ji Muqing locked herself in the room regardless of everyone's inquiries.The room was burning with calming incense, and he curled up at the corner of the bed, shivering unceasingly as he pulled the quilt.
In the ten years of Dry Bones Road, the endless slaughter has not yet happened in this life, but it is actually engraved deep in his memory.The bell beside the bed also rang uncomfortably. Although it was only for a moment, it still brought back Ji Muqing's gradually panicked thoughts.He carefully removed the bell.
This iron bell was recast. Its predecessor was an arrowhead, which was once deeply inserted into Ji Muqing's left arm when he rescued Xiao Beichen from the assassins when he was 12 years old.
At that time, they were hiding in a hut in a remote small village, and the wind outside was so strong that it seemed that the roof could be knocked off at any time.
His left arm was bleeding profusely, and even a light touch would break out into a sweat.In the darkness, he heard a very soft whimper, and turned his head to look at the people around him by the faint moonlight.
That was one of the few times he saw Xiao Beichen crying so miserably, kneeling straight at the side, with tears in his eyes, he only said: Brother, I have troubled you.
Later, he waited for reinforcements for a long time, so he decided to take a gamble, handing out a flag flower representing the charge to show the position, betting that the assassins would find them first or the reinforcements would come first.
They ended up betting right.
After that, this kind of flag flower has a meaning that belongs only to them, that is: together, we will never ask about the future.
After a good while, Ji Muqing finally calmed down. He lightly rang the bell in his hand, thought for a moment and muttered: "I still called my brother when I was young."
It was raining quickly that night, and Ji Muqing stood in front of the desk and finished writing the memorial by hand. He looked at it a few times before solemnly printing his private seal.
With the experience of the previous life, he can grasp most of the movements of all parties in this life.The Chijin Kingdom is located in the desolate land in the west. Although the people have worked hard to cultivate it over the years, they are no match for the extreme conditions.In contrast, the Dungan Kingdom will be much richer.
In the past many years, the Donggan Kingdom also thought about giving a helping hand, but the condition is that the Chijin Kingdom needs to submit.And this "horned-bellied snake" drilled out of the yellow sand will not be easily surrendered.
Ji Muqing sighed a few times, next year there will be a catastrophe in this world, and the war with the Chijin Kingdom will also start.Most likely, this battle was unavoidable, he suddenly decided: in the previous life, he returned the intact world to the Xiao family, and in this life, he will use the country he fought for again with his own hands as employment.
At the court meeting on the second day, Ji Muqing stayed quietly aside as usual.He never even wanted to hear the verbal wars between powerful officials, let alone when the spring had just rested and the parties were in a hurry to deploy people.
Ji Muqing quietly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Beichen, and found that the man looked indifferent, but Ji Muqing could still tell that he was observing everyone carefully.
"Why don't you observe me? If you don't look at me, my daughter-in-law will leave." Ji Muqing felt a little disappointed.After a while, he saw that all the officials seemed to have lost their tongues, so he took a deep breath and prepared to play.
Xiao Tianze on the throne finally relaxed, he pressed his forehead and said, "What else do you love?"
Ji Muqing strode out, "Your Majesty, I have an instruction book."
The author has something to say: Ji Muqing: Call me brother again.
Xiao Beichen: ...There will be a chance.
"Father, why are you so happy?" Ji Muqing asked curiously when he saw the joy on Ji Huaiyuan's face.
"Oh, Qing'er is back." Ji Huaiyuan waved his hand and asked the servants to serve the dishes, and then continued: "It's nothing, it's just that the king just made a decree to choose a concubine for the crown prince. I think you and the crown prince have been friends since childhood." , why not take this opportunity to pick someone you like, and your mother and I can also start planning for your marriage."
