Stranger and Chen in the Palace

"Your Highness, King Jing has been controlled by us, and Ji Heng's army has also withdrawn to the northwest." Huang Zaizhong said.

Ling Yichen stared at the sleeping Ling Yize in the coffin, caressing that face without a trace of blood.

He remembered that from the first time they met, this younger brother's face was as pale as snow.He has just been detoxified, and he still has a great time, but now he can only sleep here forever, I wonder if he will be afraid?

"Your Highness?" Seeing that Ling Yichen was silent, Huang Zaizhong called out cautiously.

"Understood, you go down."

"Yes."

Huang Zaizhong retreated slowly.

"Yize..." Ling Yichen gently closed his eyes.

Three days later, the enthronement ceremony.

Ling Yichen, who had just completed his birthday, was dressed in a jet-black dragon robe painted with gold and a purple-gold Xuanyu crown, and walked towards the altar of worship step by step. Every step he took was so steady and heavy.The handsome and resolute side face is extremely cold, and the eyes are even more icy cold, until he reaches the highest point, he suddenly turns around and looks at the world with an unruly posture.

The palace knelt down on the ground, and Shunde finished reading out the imperial edict loudly. Immediately, the voice of the mountain shouting long live, mighty, endless...

From then on, he is the emperor of this country, the ruler of the whole world...

As a son-in-law, Xue Zimo also participated in the enthronement ceremony. He stared at the man standing at the highest place, and Ling Yichen never looked at him from the beginning to the end.He and him are already the most distant distance...

On the first day of Ling Yichen's enthronement, he issued three imperial decrees in succession.

The first imperial decree sent Concubine Yun's ashes to her hometown, Yangling, to be buried with her family.

In the second imperial decree, the fourth prince, Ling Yize, was buried in the imperial mausoleum with the emperor Ling Ming and Yun according to the highest etiquette for princes.

The third imperial decree was to abolish Ling Yihong's royal family status, divide his body by five horses, hang his head over the city gate, and abandon his body in the wilderness. Anyone who dares to collect his body will be punished with the same crime!

In Xihe palace.

Ling Yichen stared at Concubine Yun's ashes and jade altar, and said in a low voice: "Mother Concubine, the child is not filial, and I will not be able to serve you any more..."

Ever since he found out about his concubine mother, he suddenly felt relieved.Finally understand why the concubine mother treated him like that, 130 lives of seven relatives, this blood debt is too heavy on her!

Since the concubine mother said that she would never see the emperor again, he thought that the most suitable place for the concubine mother was the hometown where she was born and raised.I hope that when I get there, the concubine mother will no longer have hatred in her heart, and she can rest in peace...

"Your Majesty, the team to pick up Concubine Yun is already waiting at the gate of the palace." Shunde said cautiously.

With Ling Yichen's ascension to the throne, he was also promoted to the chief eunuch of the palace.

Ling Yichen hugged the altar of ashes respectfully: "Let's go."

Shunde quietly followed Ling Yichen, until now he still couldn't believe it: the little prince who was abandoned in the cherry garden back then is now the king of the whole country.And he, a little slave with no future at first, has now become the chief eunuch in the palace, under one person and above ten thousand people.

Thinking of this, Shunde couldn't help sighing.

He has seen with his own eyes how much His Majesty has paid to get to this point over the years, and he sincerely hopes that Ling Yichen's future road will be smooth...

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the escort team of more than a thousand people saw the arrival of the new monarch, knelt down in unison, and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The sound at the palace gate was deafening.

Ling Yichen carefully placed the jade altar of mother and concubine's ashes on the sandalwood chariot, and said lightly, "Let's go."

"Yes."

Another neat and clear voice.Everyone got up and set off to Yangling in a mighty manner.

Ling Yichen knelt down slowly in the direction of the jade altar of mother and concubine's ashes, kowtowed three times, and just knelt quietly like this, watching the escort team drift away...

The funeral of the late emperor and the fourth prince was held in a grand manner. Ling Yichen personally nailed the coffins for the late emperor and the fourth prince, and they were buried after seven days of vigil.

After Ling Yihong was executed, all the generals of the rebel army including Li Haoru were also beheaded, and the imperial guards and ordinary soldiers who participated in Pingxinhou's rebellion were sentenced to serve in the bitter cold border for life.

The hero who rescued Zhenyuan, the general Feng Yuan, was promoted to the king of the general who protects the country; the hussar general Guan Mingfeng was named Ming Lehou, and the [-] soldiers under his command were assigned to Feng Yuan.In addition, Xiao Ye was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Huang Zaizhong was promoted to Commander of the Guards.

All the officials in the DPRK and China discussed this, and the difference in the treatment of the two heroes who rescued the car was lamentable.

Feng Yuan was conferred the title of King of the Great Generals Protecting the Country, one rank higher than that of the Great General of the Fuguo Ji Heng, and he has more and more soldiers in his hands.Although Guan Mingfeng was granted the title of Marquis of Ming Le, it was only superficial. In fact, his military power was deprived and he became a figure of idleness.

It's no wonder that Guan Mingfeng was originally the traitor Ling Yihong's man, if he hadn't turned his back on the battlefield, he might end up just like Li Haoru.

If the promotion of the two heroes could be understood by the officials, then the promotion of Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong surprised them a little.

Being officials in the same dynasty, everyone knows which faction they belong to.These two were also members of the traitor Ling Yihong in the past. Although they knew that they were subdued by Ling Yichen, they never expected that His Majesty would use them so much.

You must know that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and removal of officials, and the power in his hands is second only to Prime Minister Xue Jingting, while Huang Zaizhong, the commander of the imperial guards, is responsible for the safety of the entire palace.It can be said that these two people are in important positions, which shows Ling Yichen's trust in them.

April, imperial mausoleum, drizzle.

Holding an umbrella, Ling Yichen stood alone in front of Ling Yize's tomb.

Covering the tombstone from the rain with one hand, stroking the corner of the tombstone with the other, quietly staring at the name on the tombstone.

"Yize, now I have gained everything and lost everything..."

"Why even you left me..."

At this time five years ago, he lost his mother and concubine; at this time five years later, he lost his younger brother, and that person...

His stop lasted all afternoon.

Yue An looked at her young master looking at the emperor standing in front of the Fourth Highness's tomb from afar, and couldn't help but ask, "Young master, why don't we go there?"

Xue Zimo withdrew his eyes from the man, lowered his head slightly, and bitterness slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "He will never want to see me again."

He is, he will never want to see himself again!

At night, Ling Yichen walked into Qianju Hall.

This is the place where Ling Yize lived before, and he has never looked at this place before.

I still remember that the first time he came, he came to investigate the matter of his being poisoned. Even though he knew at that time that Ling Yize was unlikely to be the person who poisoned him, he still came.

It was also because of this that he discovered the pitiful situation of this younger brother and his very similar life experience.

If he didn't have that trace of pity in his heart at the beginning, wouldn't he still be alive now?

Ling Yichen closed his eyes, the pain in his heart couldn't go away no matter what.

Ling Yize died for him, this is a fact that will never be erased.He wanted to protect him, took him to his side, wanted to protect him...

After a while, Ling Yichen opened his eyes and looked at everything here carefully. It hadn't been cleaned for a few days, and dust began to fall in many places.

Gently brushing the dust off the pillow, Ling Yichen suddenly found that there was a very delicate small mahogany box next to it, almost the size of a pillow.

Ling Yichen was puzzled, why did Yize put the box beside his pillow?

He slowly opened the box, and saw that it was neatly packed with a large stack of folded rice paper, beside it was a sandalwood box, and the mask he gave to Yize.

He recognized the box. When the emperor gave them that piece of beautiful jade to make pendant jade, each of them got a piece, and this box was exactly the one used to hold the pendant jade.

Ling Yichen opened the box, and sure enough, he saw a round hollow pendant jade of the same jade quality. He had never seen Ling Yize's pendant jade at that time, so it must have been this piece.

Peiyu was very delicately made, with many hollowed-out stars on both sides, and a word engraved on one corner of Peiyu. Ling Yichen was surprised to find that it turned out to be the word "Chen".

Why is his name engraved on the jade made by Yize?

Ling Yichen put down Peiyu, gently picked up a folded piece of rice paper, unfolded it, and was instantly stunned.

He hastily unfolded the remaining rice paper, there were hundreds of them, and after reading all of them, Ling Yichen's hand suddenly dropped, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak...

These are all paintings by Yize, and there is only one person on each painting, and that is Ling Yichen himself!

He is standing, he is dancing sword, he is reading, eating, sleeping, meditating, drunk, even sick...

Each drawing paper has traces of being folded repeatedly, but it is obviously folded carefully, because each paper is folded along the same crease.Some of these rice papers are new and some are old, and some of them are slightly yellowed, which seems to be several years old.

It took Ling Yichen a while to recover from the shock, he picked up the pendant again and looked at it carefully, slowly recalling Yize's behavior and the way he looked at himself in the past, and suddenly came to his senses.

It turned out that he actually liked herself!

Looking at these paintings, the star jade, and the mask again, Ling Yichen was so sad that he couldn't restrain it.

"Yize, you... idiot boy..."
