Lord of Rebirth

Shen Xi seemed to like hearing what Sun Moyao said about his dealings with the northern Li barbarians before, but this time he didn't hear enough, and wanted to hear him talk about the past.

Sun Moyao also liked to talk to Shen Xi, which meant that he didn't finish sleeping at night.Even Shen Xi was so sleepy that he leaned on Sun Moyao's shoulder and yawned, so Sun Moyao stopped talking and let him sleep well.

Early the next morning, Sun Moyao went out of Yuanhongxuan and met Lu Jufeng.

Lu Jufeng stretched his neck and glanced inside, then cupped his hands and asked, "Is Ziyuan still resting?"

Sun Moyao said embarrassedly, "Well, I guess I'm about to wake up."

"My lord, please do what you can." Lu Jufeng said softly, "I don't know if Ziyuan asked anything later?"

Sun Moyao laughed, "Don't worry, Shen Xi is not angry."

Lu Jufeng nodded, "That's good, I'm relieved, the next official will go to work in the yamen first."

"So early?" Sun Moyao looked at the sky, "Suibai, you don't have to work so hard."

Lu Jufeng said with a smile: "Then, my lord, just think that I am saving my wife's money for the future."

Sun Moyao even laughed heartily, "Then, next month, I will raise your monthly salary for you."

Lu Jufeng shook his head with a smile, "You don't get rewarded for nothing." After saying that, he turned his head and left.

Still as normal as ever.

Sun Moyao looked at his back and sighed, turned around, only to see Shen Xi wearing a robe, leaning against the door frame and smiling at him.He hurried up, brought Shen Xi back into the room, pulled his clothes back, and asked, "Did the sound of talking wake you up?"

"My lord, I woke up when you got up, what's the matter? What's the matter with Suubai?" Shen Xi asked.

"It's okay, I just came to ask if I quarreled with you." Sun Moyao laughed as he said, "I really like to take care of it."

Shen Xi glanced at him, "Sui Bai likes to take care of you, which means he also cares about you, my lord. What's wrong with that?"

Sure enough, I still can't say bad things about others in front of Shen Xi. Shen Xi values ​​love and righteousness so much, even a little bit of complaint is offensive to him. is more important.

Just thinking about it like this, Sun Moyao couldn't help showing a smile on his face, like a smirk.

When Shen Xi saw the little prince showing such a silly expression again, he didn't say anything about him, as long as he could maintain this kind of joy every day, Shen Xi would also feel better.

After washing up, Shen Xi also went to work, the prince sent him to Ya Street, and then he was willing to go back to the palace.

Shen Xi met Lu Jufeng in the yamen, sometimes Shen Xi also admired him from the bottom of his heart, he could come to work on time every day without change.

Lu Jufeng saw him coming, looked out of the window again, and said softly, "Ziyuan, you're late again."

"Ahem." Shen Xi walked up to him, took the official document, and ignored his words.

The two remained silent and buried themselves in their work.Before the prince led troops out of the city, this one must be written carefully.Especially regarding the matter of the prince, Shen Xi didn't want to leave it to others.

"Suibai." Shen Xi suddenly said, "Is it the prince who forbids you to tell me about this?"

Lu Jufeng paused after hearing this, and said honestly, "That's it."

"Oh... the prince is really capricious." Shen Xi complained in a low voice.

But Lu Jufeng said, "My lord is afraid that you will worry."

Shen Xi dissatisfied, "I'm afraid I won't see him in the future!"

Lu Jufeng glanced at him, "Then you didn't tell him personally?"

"Ahem." Shen Xi hurriedly changed the subject, half hanging his hand holding the pen, and said, "By the way, Suibai, before you wondered if something happened in the capital, but the people of Beili Kingdom knew about it first, so How dare you do something like this?"

Lu Jufeng thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because I heard that the emperor is seriously ill."

Shen Xi frowned, "It's just that they are seriously ill, so they dare to do this. If the emperor dies in the future, wouldn't they want to invade on a large scale?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jufeng fell silent.

Thinking about it, until today, I haven't heard of the emperor's illness continuing to worsen, so it should be fine.

But whatever you want, you will come.

Just when deep summer was gradually leaving, but the autumn wind hadn't blown yet, an important news came from the capital.

The postman at the post station rushed thousands of miles, ten posts in one night, tired of running the horse, and sent the urgent letter to the palace.

Shen Xi happened to be going to be on duty. On the way, he saw a postman standing at the door with an anxious face. He wanted to come in, but he couldn't wait for the servant to lead the way. Seeing Shen Xi, he seemed to be able to talk He ran over and asked him to take him to see the prince.

When Shen Xi saw the letter in his hand, he immediately recognized that the seal on the cover was from the Shaofu of the capital. Could it be that something happened in the royal family?

He immediately took him to see the prince.

Sun Moyao rewarded the postman with money, and in front of Shen Xi, he shook open the letter.

Four words.

"The Emperor is dead."

Sun Moyao looked at the letter, he could have counted this day anyway, but he didn't expect it to be at such an unprepared moment.

Not sad, but shocking.

Shen Xi was even more speechless. He grabbed the letter paper and read it again and again. Except for these four characters, there are quite a few jade seals and the prince's seal below, so naturally it cannot be fake.

Can……

The matter of the four kings has not been dealt with yet, how can the emperor die?

"My lord, it's time to enter Beijing." Shen Xi said hastily.

Sun Moyao stood at the same spot, but seemed a little unbelieving. Looking at the flowers, birds, fish and insects in the palace, they were still the same, and the unknowing servants in the distance were still walking through the corridor side by side, as if nothing happened, but who knows, it's thousands of miles away Outside the capital city, their king, the emperor, has already passed away.

Gathering his mind, Sun Moyao said to Shen Xi, "You and Lu Jufeng write an obituary, inform the public of this matter, prohibit all gatherings, and...notify Zhang Xi to prepare for entering Beijing."

"Yes." Shen Xi bowed his hands solemnly.

He turned around and went to the government office to look for Lu Jufeng, thinking all the way, thinking that he would receive news of the emperor's abdication next, at least he had realized that his body was failing, and wanted to find a clean place to recuperate Years, why did he suddenly die?

In other words, the emperor's health was bad enough before, and the announcement of "relaxing his strength" to the outside world was probably just to appease people's hearts.

Now that the prince has captured the four traitorous kings and returned to the court, even if such a great achievement is mentioned to King Fufeng, it cannot be concealed.

The problem before the prince is not only the four kings, but also the emperor.The sudden death of the emperor at such a critical juncture is really hard not to think about.

But Shen Xi was still taken aback by his own thoughts, why would he suddenly think about those conspiracies, wouldn't it be too scary?

Shen Xi shook his head and found Lu Jufeng.

After hearing this news, the expressions of Lu Jufeng and Zhang Xi were naturally very consistent.

Nothing less than surprises and worries.

With the matter arranged by the prince, the two of them can only swallow all their feelings first and deal with the matter.

The emperor died.

The news was like a gale overnight, and it quickly spread all over Nanshun Kingdom.This matter is a big event even for ordinary people.

Some businessmen who went abroad said that they had heard about the death of Emperor Nansun in Beili country long ago, and thought it was just a rumor spread by the people of Beili country, but unexpectedly it turned out to be true.

From the common people to the country, there are too many things to consider.

Shen Xi couldn't help but think about why Lu Jufeng suspected that the barbarians of Beili State invaded the border in such a way before, and he really heard something.

But right now, it seems that this trouble is too big.

Immediately afterwards, another urgent letter came from the capital, naturally asking Fufeng King to go to the capital to attend the funeral.

All the princes have to go back to the capital for the funeral, no one is an exception.

It can be imagined that the four kings have been captured by the prince and returned to the capital before, and I don't know how many people will laugh at this sarcasm.

As for when the emperor died, I'm afraid no one will pursue it. The prince has already confirmed the itinerary and will go to the capital to attend the funeral on a certain day.

But before going there, you have to arrange all the affairs of the fief properly, especially what happened in Jiuyuan County before, the prince not only arranged the garrison in his fief, but also sent people to Jiuyuan County, just in case .

Sun Moyao also said, "Fortunately, you don't need to bring troops when you enter Beijing. Since you have officers and soldiers in your hands, you naturally have to do your duty of protecting your family, the country, and the people."

After everything was properly arranged, they brought Shen Xi and Lu Jufeng into the capital.

This time, he did not bring Wei Zhenyun with him.

Sun Moyao said to him, "I was thinking of bringing you and your daughter-in-law with me before. I think you, your father, and your brothers may not have seen each other for a long time, and they didn't come when you got married, so I should bring you with me." The daughter-in-law went to meet them, but your wife is pregnant now, so I can't take her all the way, and I can't let you stay by your wife's side, right?"

Wei Zhenyun guessed in his heart that this was the reason, and he could not blame his wife for being pregnant at this time, nor could he blame the emperor for not wanting to live for two more years.

With the experience of last time, Wei Zhenyun just expressed his dissatisfaction in a small way this time, and nothing else, he promised to spend good time with his wife in the fief.

Apart from receiving these two messages, there is no news about the prince or the prince.

Shen Xi was still a little bit dissatisfied. Could it be that the prince took advantage of this opportunity to completely cover up the matter by not mentioning the prince's meritorious service in Bashu?

Although it was stated that Bai went to Beijing to attend the emperor's funeral, Shen Xi didn't feel any sadness towards the emperor in his heart, but was completely dissatisfied with the prince's attitude of not saying a word to the prince.He had to comfort himself, maybe it was just because the emperor died suddenly, so there was no time to mention it.

Only by thinking this way can Shen Xi prevent himself from becoming more selfish because of the prince's affairs.
