The morning light appeared a little early this morning, and Yu Yi thought it was a good sign, and she was not as restless as before going to bed.
The battle situation is not irreversible, he should trust Xiao Tan.
He sat by the bed and watched Xiao Qin put the armor on his body.
"Come back early." Xiao Qin put on his clothes, turned to look at him, and Yu Yi said calmly.
"Understood." Xiao Qin nodded, walked to the door, thought for a while and walked back a few steps, held Yu Yi's face, and kissed him hard on the forehead.
"gone."
"Ah."
Xiao Qin opened the door and went out.The huge Prince's Mansion was empty, Yue Yang and Duan Fangzhu were not around, and he and Yu Yi didn't like to be close to others, so they sent them all away last night, but Li Yanting was taken aback, for fear that the master would be unhappy , I will take the soldiers back to the capital.
There was no one in the street, except for a few breakfast establishments that were still open.Xiao Qin walked all the way to the martial arts arena, and immediately saw Li Yanting standing on the high platform.
"Young Master Xiao!" Li Yanting seemed to be talking to the soldiers, when he saw Xiao Qin approaching, he waved the knife in his hand, "Come up!"
Xiao Tan nodded and walked up to the high platform. Wang Heng had already arrived. He stepped on the railing and smiled awkwardly at Xiao Tan.
Who is he, Wang Heng? He has been on the battlefield for so many years, and he knows that the power of those dignitaries will more or less infiltrate into the army.But it was the first time he saw an adult who was willing to put his cronies into this kind of narrow-death battle. Although Xiao Qin's martial arts were good, how could he say accurately what happened on the battlefield?
The second prince would not want to take this opportunity to get rid of the "male wife" and ascend the throne in the future so that he can establish another queen.
Wang Heng was overwhelmed, and looked at Xiao Tan sympathetically.
"Young Master Xiao, according to what was discussed last night, the three of us will divide into three groups. Young Master Xiao will lead people to burn all the food and grass in the northern camp. General Wang and I will outflank them from both wings and catch them by surprise. "
"Xiao Tan understands, it's all up to Mr. Li to arrange." Xiao Tan was very polite and didn't want Li Yanting to feel pressure at this time.
Li Yanting heaved a sigh of relief.
When discussing the plan last night, he deliberately found an errand for Xiao Qin that was least likely to cause death. He thought that the Second Highness would object, but he didn't. The division of labor between the several people was determined smoothly.
Xiao Qin himself is not a person who likes to make great achievements, and he knows that meritorious deeds must be done day by day, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.
The most urgent task is to drive these barbarian cavalry back to northern Xinjiang, otherwise Yu Yi will not even be able to ascend the throne.
Li Yanting smiled at the two of them, seeing that the soldiers below were almost assembled, he raised his saber and waved it twice to boost morale.
"Let's go." Wang Heng stood up and stretched his muscles a few times.
What Xiao Qin has to do is simple and easy, but difficult to say.He wants to lead his troops to detour behind the enemy camp, find the place where their grain trucks are parked, and then burn them all down.One is to attract the attention of the enemy and create opportunities for Wang and Li to attack, and the other is to leave a way out for the capital - Ancheng's food reserves are not enough for such a large army to trek all the way to the capital. Without food and grass, no matter who wins or loses this battle, they will withdraw their troops and return to the north.
As long as there are no accidents, the troops sent by the people from Northern Xinjiang to guard the food and grass are as they have investigated, and Li Yanting and Wang Heng can come from the two wings in time, Xiao Tan and his fellow travelers should not encounter any danger.
"My lord," a soldier crawled beside Xiao Tan and whispered to him, "The enemy is ahead of them where they store food and grass. Should we go there now, or wait."
"Wait a little longer," Xiao Tan looked at the sky, "Let the brothers prepare all the flints."
"Yes."
Li Yanting and Wang Heng had to take a long detour, and Xiao Qin had to wait until they were almost there before making a move.If it is exposed too early, there is no guarantee that the people of Northern Xinjiang will not concentrate all their firepower against them in a fit of anger. By then, with the small number of people led by Xiao Qin, it will really not be able to last for a few hours.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Tan saw that it was almost done, so he asked everyone to take their positions and prepare to attack the camp.The lurking is too slow, it is better to attack directly, with the main force attacking from both wings, the odds of winning should be a little higher.
Holding his breath, Xiao Qin sneaked to the gate of the camp, beckoned, and a few people who came up behind him looked at Xiao Qin, and kicked open the temporary wooden door.
"who!?"
There was an instant scolding sound from inside.
Xiao Tan ignored them, and bullied himself up to deal with the people who came. The soldiers behind him split into two groups, facing the guards next to the grain truck, and continued to go in, taking out the fire starter that he had prepared long ago.
"According to the previous plan, everything—"
Before the words fell, there was a sudden scream from inside.
Xiao Qin froze for a moment, and then quickly ran towards the inside. As soon as he turned around a granary, he saw corpses scattered all over the floor, all of them were theirs.
"Want to burn our granary!?" A man from Beijiang held his wrist and grinned at Xiao Tan, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
"They have an ambush!!" Someone yelled first, and the scene suddenly got out of control.
Xiao Tan cursed secretly, kicked away the Northern Xinjiang soldiers who rushed in front of him, turned and ran outside.
When they arrived in Ancheng yesterday, Li Yanting had already listened to the reply from the outpost. Later, when they made the detailed plan, they didn't let a few people come out to report to Yu Yi, and Li Yanting only gave a brief introduction of the situation.
Either that kid was duplicity and colluded with the enemy secretly; or those outposts had already defected, but Li Yanting didn't realize it.
Xiao Qin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.There are too many people on the opposite side, and they are outnumbered, and they may not be able to get out if they go head-to-head.
In a panic, he rescued a person, and just about to stretch out his hand and drag him behind him to let him go quickly, he caught a glimpse of the package behind the person, which looked like...
Xiao Qin tore off the package—it was explosives!
"Did you bring explosives?"
"Yes, Mr. Li asked me to carry it," the soldier had just escaped from death, panting heavily with lingering fear, "he said, said, there are only these explosives left in the city, let me carry them just in case, The subordinate is at the end of the line... I haven't found a chance to tell you."
Xiao Qin glanced around the densely packed granaries, clasped the soldier's shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "Follow me, be careful around—"
……
When Li Yanting attacked, he felt something was wrong. There were too few people in the enemy camp. Later, when he heard a series of earth-shattering explosions and saw the flames in the north, he had a bad feeling.
How did you use the explosives?But don't worry about what happened to Xiao Qin.
He suppressed his doubts and continued to attack, but he didn't expect that the journey would go smoothly, and he would meet up with Wang Heng not long after.The two looked at each other in horror, and rushed towards the direction of the fire.
There are broken arms and limbs everywhere, corpses, granaries, tents, chariots and luggage, all burned to the ground.
Li Yanting squatted down, picked up a cluster of explosive powder, brought it to his nose and sniffed it, "Yes, it is the explosive prepared by Ancheng—"
He didn't have time to think about it, his voice trembled violently, he pulled out his knife and rushed into the dusty, smoky area in front of him.
"Young Master Xiao—" "Xiao Qin!!"
Everyone was cautiously on guard at the beginning, but later they found that there were almost no living people standing on the ground, so they simply shouted at the top of their voices.
Li Yanting's desperate hands were trembling.
He was so unlucky.After finally looking forward to the reinforcements from the capital, after finally winning a battle, something like this happened again.Those outposts had better be dead, otherwise he wanted them to look good!
"Cough, cough, cough, Master Li." A hoarse voice came from behind, and Li Yanting turned around in surprise, seeing Xiao Qin restraining a person, staggering over, his head and face covered in black ashes.
"What's going on! Are you okay?" Li Yanting rushed forward, almost crying with joy.
"It's okay." Xiao Qin coughed twice and shook his head, then threw the person in his hand to Li Yanting.
"It's him!!" Li Yanting was a little surprised.
This man had a bowl-sized wound on his right chest, and his face was frighteningly pale. If it wasn't the famous third prince from Beijiang, who else could it be! ?
"He didn't know my details, so he wanted to sneak attack me." Xiao Tan explained.
Li Yanting looked at him in shock.
Sneak attack, then what?The martial arts of this Third Highness are not comparable to ordinary people, even he is not sure that he can beat it.
"It's nothing more, he can't beat me," Xiao Qin smiled, "The others were either killed by the bomb, or they surrendered after seeing the leader captured. Is this finally...playing a little role?"
Li Yanting was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
"The surrendered soldiers and the surviving soldiers are outside the camp." Xiao Qin patted him on the shoulder, turned and walked out, "clean up the battlefield, let's go back to the city."
*****
The people from Northern Xinjiang finally returned to Northern Xinjiang.
For the people of Ancheng, there is nothing more worthy of celebration this summer than this.
Yue Yang and Li Yanting personally escorted the Third Highness back, and sent all the prisoners back to Northern Xinjiang.Yu Yi sent someone to send a letter to An Qingjiang overnight, and the negotiating ministers prepared by the imperial court had already set off on their way.
The group stayed in Ancheng for a few more days. Xiao Qin personally led people to restore the facilities and military defenses of Ancheng, and the people moved back one after another—but they couldn't wait for the day when the city would resume prosperity.
Yu Yi wanted to go back to Beijing, and Xiao Tan agreed.The matter of Yu Yinjiang's death is still being kept secret, and it's time to tell the world.
"Your Highness, Elder An Ge wrote a letter again." The guard knocked on the wall of the carriage and handed a letter through the window.
Since they set off from Ancheng until today, in just one and a half days, An Qingjiang wrote five letters and mailed them. The senders didn't have to go to the post station. They could meet them by waiting on the official road. The letters were all about Yu Yi's ascension to the throne. related matters.
Yu Yi leaned against Xiao Qin, yawned, opened the letter and glanced at it hastily, then put it aside, and sighed helplessly: "Mr. An Ge is really... I can't wait for this king to return to Beijing to discuss any urgent matters. "
"A country cannot live without a king." Xiao Qin squeezed his hand solemnly.
Yu Yi was a little funny.
This person was obviously very nervous about living in the palace, but he still tried to persuade him by pretending to be indifferent.
"What are your plans in the future?" Yu Yi straightened up, took a sip of tea, and asked Xiao Qin tentatively.
"What's the plan?" Xiao Qin didn't react for a moment.
"Accompany His Highness to ascend the throne, and move things from the palace to the palace."
Yu Yi shook her head, "Not enough."
Xiao Qin thought for a while, his expression froze for a moment, and then said: "Take care of the affairs of the harem, and assist His Highness...to choose a concubine?"
Yu Yi didn't hold back, and laughed loudly.
Xiao Qin hugged him helplessly, and lightly reprimanded him, "Your Highness, don't laugh."
Yu Yi lay on his shoulders, trying to hold back her laughter, until her whole body trembled.
Xiao Qin took care of the harem, so he really didn't even dare to think about it.
"I can do anything," Xiao Tan stroked Yu Yi's long hair, "as long as His Highness likes it."
"Really?" Yu Yi raised her head upon hearing this, and looked at Xiao Qin without blinking.
"Really." Xiao Qin looked back seriously, and hooked the corners of his mouth.
Although he was more used to the world than the court, he was not as restrained as Yu expected.The fact that the two of them can be together peacefully in this life is already a blessing that he can't even ask for.
"Okay, this is what you promised this king, and you are not allowed to go back on your word in the future."
"Naturally." Xiao Tan said immediately, after a pause he felt that it wasn't enough, and hurriedly added, "A mountain of swords and a sea of fire, a harem court, I will do whatever I want."
Yu Yi looked at him with a strange expression.
The guard outside the carriage was drowsy when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter erupting inside the carriage.
His Royal Highness Duan Wang, who was always terrified on weekdays, and the emperor who was about to ascend the throne, pressed his princess's shoulder, laughing and crying non-stop.
Xiao Qin hugged him to prevent him from accidentally falling off the couch. Seeing that the man had no intention of stopping for a while, he could only helplessly call out, "Your Highness..."
……
It was the night of the third day when I arrived at the imperial city. Yu Yi was so tired that she wanted to go back to the mansion and hug Xiao Qin to sleep, but before she entered the mansion, she saw An Qingjiang guarding the gate from afar, followed by Minister of Rites.
The corner of Yu Yi's mouth twitched, and he immediately turned the carriage around.
"Your Highness—Your Highness—"
The Anqingjiang man was too old to chase him, and his voice became farther and farther away.
Yu Yi heaved a sigh of relief, the coachman asked him where he was going, he thought about it, and simply let him go in the direction of the palace.
"What are you doing in the palace?" Xiao Qin was a little confused.
"Walk around casually, I will take you to relax." Yu Yi said casually.
Xiao Qin was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the reason was a little too perfunctory, but he still accompanied Yu Yi into the palace.
The two of them boarded the majestic high wall of the Forbidden City and strolled on it. They can have a panoramic view of the cooking fires of each family, the patrolling soldiers, and the delicate flowers growing wildly outside the palace wall.
"My concubine told me that the palace walls and the stone steps in front of the palace have a history of more than 3000 years." Yu Yi held Xiao Qin's hand and looked at the sky in ecstasy.
Xiao Qin saw that Yu Yi had something on his mind, but he didn't ask any more questions, just stayed with him without saying a word, and listened to his rambling chat about old things.
"She also said that in just a few decades of life, you have to be as willful as you can. She is willing to enter the palace for her father. She doesn't regret it, but it doesn't mean she is happy."
Xiao Tan didn't know what to say, so he could only squeeze Yu Yi's hand in a comforting way.
Yu Yi closed her eyes, Ying Xiang's voice and smile was still in front of her eyes, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch a smile.
After a while, he finally made up his mind to open his eyes and turned to face Xiao Qin.
"My lord has something to tell you."
Xiao Qin nodded and looked at him intently.
"I don't intend to inherit the throne. The prince and brother have been exiled in the frontier for a long time, and it's time to return to Beijing."
"In the final analysis, this world should belong to him."
Xiao Tan's eyes were fixed, and he suddenly felt that he was in a dream.
"Your Highness, you—"
"You don't need to ask, I've thought it through." From the day Xiao Tan left him to go to the enemy camp, he knew exactly what he wanted.
Yu Yi took out a piece of light blue letterhead from her bosom, and handed it to Xiao Qin.
"One branch of Lingchun is old, and five branches of sweet osmanthus are fragrant. The famous 'Autumn Water Osmanthus Banquet' in the south of the Yangtze River, my king has long wanted to take you there, and specially sent someone to fetch an invitation card. Today is your birthday, and I don’t care about everything. Yes, even the mountains and rivers are close at hand, but after much deliberation, I don’t know what I can give you.”
"I heard that my mother and concubine used to be a frequent visitor to the sweet-scented osmanthus banquet. This king has always wanted to visit, but I don't know if you have been there."
Xiao Tan tremblingly took the letter paper, with a few pale yellow osmanthus flowers pressed on the corner.
——One branch of lingchun is old, and five branches of osmanthus are fragrant:
Jiangnan Cao’s Autumn Water Osmanthus Feast, waiting for Xiao Qin and Ying Si to drive
"Ying Si..." Xiao Tan wiped the ink written with the brush with his fingertips, and his eyes became wet as he read it.
He embraced Yu Yi, buried his face in the crook of his neck, and burst into tears instantly, "I love you."
Yu Yi rubbed his hair, and said with a soft smile, "I love you too."
In the evening, the sky was clear, and a group of birds flitted across the eaves, casting a black shadow on the misty gray-blue sky.The warm yellow setting sun hit the two of them, Xiao Tan wrapped a piece of clothes around Yu Yi's body, and embraced him from behind, Yu Yi leaned in his arms, her ears were loud and quiet.
"Xiao Tan."
"Ah."
"After this matter is over, we will set off for the south."
"it is good."
"The good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is permanent, maybe we can catch up..."
"Fold the last osmanthus."
73. [Latest] Shanshui [End of the full text] (two chapters merged) It’s just this...
"Your Highness!"
Xiao Tan and Yu Yi were relaxing and enjoying their time together for a moment, and before they had taken a few breaths, they heard someone calling him behind them.
The two turned their heads, and An Qingjiang stood halfway up the long steps, looking at them with a serious face.
Xiao Qin coughed lightly, let go of Yu Yi and took a step back.
Earlier, Yu Yi turned around and ran away as soon as he arrived at the palace. An Qingjiang finally waited for the carriage, and hurried to the palace. After climbing dozens of steps, he looked up and saw His Royal Highness Duan Wang—the future emperor of Jing Dynasty—with his concubine Hug together as if no one else was around.He fell back angrily, and was about to remind Yu Yi to pay attention to etiquette, but somehow he didn't say anything, and just stood there waiting for them to separate.
After waiting for a long time, the two had no intention of separating at all. An Qingjiang couldn't bear it anymore, so he spoke out.
"Old An Ge." Yu Yi nodded politely towards An Qingjiang with a calm demeanor.
"Your Highness," An Qingjiang coughed a few times, and was supported by the little eunuch and walked up, "How is Your Highness thinking about enthroning? The Ministry of Rites has already drawn up several regulations, and I will wait for His Highness to choose."
Xiao Tan and Yu Yi looked at each other, and the latter said after consideration: "This king...does not intend to inherit the throne."
"...!?"
An Qingjiang staggered, almost dodging his waist.
"What, what!" He has assisted the emperor for decades, and he has never lost his composure, but Yu Yi's words are really...
"Your Highness is the successor handpicked by the late emperor. How can you say that if you don't want the throne, you don't want the throne? It's a matter of Guozuo, how can you just play around!"
Yu Yi helped him to go down the steps, "Don't worry, Mr. Ge. I mean to change someone. I didn't say anything. I will let go of him immediately and go away with Xiao Qin."
An Qingjiang hadn't thought of this before, but when he heard Yu Yi say this, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and looked at him suspiciously.
Yu Yi explained helplessly, "Brother Prince is still in the frontier, shouldn't it be time to bring him back? This king wants to—"
Before he finished speaking, An Qingjiang took a sharp breath, rolled his eyes and passed out.
Yu Yi was taken aback, caught him in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Come on—"
******
An Qingjiang was ill, and it seemed that he was ill by Yu's spirit.
His Royal Highness Duan moved his family to Anfu to take care of the patients himself.
"Ahem," Yu Yi sat at the table, watched An Qingjiang drink the medicine, and said earnestly, "Old An Ge, the emperor's brother has both ability and political integrity, and he has been taught by the orthodox prince since he was a child. This king is an idle prince. , how do you know how to govern the country? Besides, you watched the emperor grow up, you should know the emperor, and know that he can take good care of the country."
An Qingjiang held his breath and didn't speak, his little grandson took the clean medicine bowl and ran out - that was the future emperor, the An family didn't dare to let him play around in front of Yu Yi, lest he say something wrong What he said made Yu Yi unhappy.
Sitting aside, it was not easy for Xiao Qin to intervene, so he poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Yu Yi, who took it and drank it down, moistened his throat, and continued to persuade, "Besides, the emperor was exiled, he was wronged, Now that the real culprit has been...it's really inappropriate to keep Brother Huang on the frontier."
When An Qingjiang heard Yu Yi say this, he held his breath and almost didn't come up, and finally couldn't help it: "The mother of the crown prince is trying to kill the king, this—"
Yu Yi thought for a while and said: "The king's biological mother is still a dancer. The elder Ge was very opposed to it before, but now he can accept it? How can the fault of that one be blamed on the emperor's brother? , did you make a slight mistake?"
"But when the prince was exiled to the frontier, his 'crimes', true or false, were already known to everyone!"
"It's not difficult to do, isn't it just a matter of overturning the case?" Yu Yi answered eloquently.
"..."
An Qingjiang reluctantly said: "The throne changes frequently, which is not in line with the etiquette system, and it is also not conducive to the stability of the government. Besides, the Ministry of Rites has already made arrangements. How can you go back on your word for such a waste of time and money as enthronement!?"
Yu Yi shook her head helplessly, stood up and was about to say goodbye to An Qingjiang, "I just came from the Ministry of Rites, and they didn't dare to act rashly without my order; don't bother to make excuses, I will be here in a few days." Send someone to take the emperor back to the capital, you should take good care of your illness, the enthronement ceremony cannot be done without you."
After finishing speaking, Yu Yi dragged Xiao Tan out and walked out. Seeing that she was about to go out, she suddenly thought of something, turned her head and said, "By the way, Brother Huang definitely doesn't like extravagant ostentation. Elder Ge also said that enthronement is a waste of time and money. The king will inform the Ministry of Rites to keep everything simple."
An Qingjiang opened his mouth, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked at the backs of Yu Yi and Xiao Tan walking out together.
He didn't know how good the crown prince is. He was young and hardworking. When he was a baby, he was detained in the palace wall all day long to learn how to be a good prince and emperor. When he grew up, he was not loved by Yu Yinjiang, but he had no resentment , The several times of supervising the country have been done steadily.
Understand filial piety, know humility, not arrogant and indulgent, and stay away from lust/desire.After the crown prince was exiled to the frontier, An Qingjiang once thought that it would be impossible for the Jing Dynasty to produce a better prince than him.
Now that Yu Yi proposes that the crown prince inherit the throne, it is impossible for An Qingjiang not to be tempted, but... does this violate the rules of etiquette, and will it attract criticism?Will the court be in turmoil because of this, and where should the former emperor's will be placed?
An Qingjiang was stunned for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it..."
He is also old and can't live for a few more years. Since Mingjun is coming, he only needs to try his best to help, and he won't think about anything else.
******
Coming out of the An Mansion, Yu Yi quickly arranged all the affairs to be done by others, started to overturn the case, took the crown prince back to Beijing, stared at the Ministry of Rites preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and stared at An Qingjiang to recuperate...
Putting all the troubles behind him, Xiao Qin went to the suburbs of Beijing with Yu Yi on the afternoon of the third day.
The two stood by the lake, looking at the men and women who were boating in the lake, the willows and flowers, the water was sparkling, and the laughter was the same as before.
"Jinghu hasn't changed at all." Yu Yi sighed.
"We haven't changed." Xiao Qin held his hand, looked at him and smiled, "Go shopping for clothes? This is too plain, and you will be laughed at if you wear it to the south of the Yangtze River."
Yu Yi glanced at him helplessly, but in the end she still saved some face for him, and coaxed, "Buy, buy whatever you want, Duanwangfu has plenty of money, and can afford you."
Xiao Qin replied seriously: "The Meishan faction is also rich and can afford to support His Highness."
"That's what you said. This king will let people dissipate the family wealth and rely on you to support it."
"No, you must have a place to live when you return to Beijing in the future."
"Go back to Beijing in the future?"
"Of course, Your Highness grew up in the capital."
"Speaking of this, I'm thinking, should I take Uncle Duan to Meishan to spend his old age in peace?"
"I'm also thinking, Meishan has a beautiful view, and there are many people and it's lively."
Yu Yi hooked the corner of her mouth: "Then it's settled."
"Okay." Xiao Qin squeezed his hand.
The two stopped and went, and visited the suburbs of Beijing. The scenery was still the same, but they came back after more than half a year, and the mood of the two had already changed.
******
These days, Yue Yang has become the busiest person in the capital.
First, he went to Guize to transfer troops, and when he arrived in Ancheng, he was sent to the northern border by Yu Yi. After finally returning to the capital, he went to the border to pick up the prince.Now he was lying on the bed in Duanwang's mansion, so tired that he didn't even want to say another word.
"Brother Yue, are you awake?" Qing Yuan called him outside the house, but Yue Yang didn't want to answer.
"Brother Yue!"
"What are you doing!" Yue Yang sat up, his eyelids folded several times due to sleepiness, before the crown prince was by his side, he didn't close his eyes for several days and nights, fearing that something might happen to this master, His Highness would skin him again.
"His Highness is coming." Qing Yuan poked his head out cautiously.
"..."
"His Royal Highness is coming!? You didn't say it earlier!"
Yu Yi walked in, "I didn't ask him to call you, I see you are tired."
"Your Highness." When Yue Yang saw Yu Yi, his eyes instantly became sore.
He has been with Yu Yi for so long, seeing that his master finally got his wish and has great power in his hands, but he gave up again.Yu Yi is going to Jiangnan with Young Master Xiao, he still doesn't know where he should go in the future.
"Sit down," Yu Yi smiled, "I have something to explain to you."
"Please speak, Your Highness." Yue Yang thought that Yu Yi had something serious to do, so he immediately pulled himself together.
"This king has discussed with the emperor, and when he ascends the throne—" Yu Yi paused.
Yue Yang listened attentively, thinking that no matter what, he must finish the last thing His Highness told him.
"When he ascends the throne, I will hand over the imperial army to you."
"... Huh?" Yue Yang was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up suddenly after realizing, "Forbidden Army!?"
Yu Yi patted him on the shoulder: "You deserve it."
……
After seeing Yue Yang, Yu Yi went to see Yu Xun again.
This kid is still very depressed, but he is happy when the prince is back.
Yu Yi chatted with him all afternoon, and at the end Yu Xun said hesitantly:
"I...I still want to guard the frontier, will the emperor agree?"
Yu Yi plucked his hair and scolded with a smile: "Talk to your brother yourself!"
*****
Seven days after the enthronement ceremony, at the request of the new emperor, everything should be kept simple.
Xiao Tan stayed in the mansion to wait for him, and Yu Yi entered the palace for the last time as King Duan.
Before the ceremony began, the prince invited him to the hall for a talk.
"Congratulations, Brother Huang." As soon as they met, Yu Yi sincerely congratulated the prince.
Yu Hui's leg injury was difficult to heal, so she pushed back the crowd, and rolled her wheelchair to Yu Yi.
"Second brother."
The two looked at each other, and a thousand words were in each other's hearts.
Yu Hui, who had been tempered by the frontier, became more and more tenacious. The new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, but he had already begun to have the bearing of the lord of the world, and he was not angry.
"Do you really want to leave? Don't even want the title of King Duan? Wouldn't it be good to stay and assist me with Yu Xi?"
Yu Yi smiled, avoiding the last question: "I really want to leave. The plaques in Duan Wang's Mansion have been removed, but I still have to ask Brother Huang to keep an eye on it for me, so that the house in my mansion does not collapse."
Yu Hui shook her head helplessly, and could only ask, "What has the plaque been replaced with?"
"Xiao Mansion." Yu Yi blinked, stepped forward and pushed Yu Hui out of the hall, and delivered it to the crown princess—no, the queen.
"The grand ceremony is about to begin, and I will take my leave now. When I come to the capital in the future, brother Huang, please don't miss me."
"Of course not." Yu Hui said seriously.
"That's good," Yu Yi turned and walked out, "A word from the emperor is as important as a thousand weights."
Yu Hui stayed where he was, staring at him in a daze, and patted the queen's hand for a while.
"Yu'er, are you ready?"
"Ready."
The palace maid opened the palace door, and Yu Niang held the armrest of the wheelchair and slowly pushed Yu Hui out.
The square in front of the temple was full of kneeling people.
Seeing Yu Hui coming out, the voice of asking for gifts resounded through the sky.
Yu Yi quickly knelt down to the head of the crowd, looked up at the new emperor, and her heart couldn't help being touched again.
At the end of his father's reign, the government was in turmoil, and the dispute between the crown prince was bloody.
Now that Mingjun returns to the throne, everything...is finally back on track.
******
After the enthronement ceremony was over, Yu Yi rushed to the suburbs of Beijing non-stop.
Xiao Qin was already waiting there with his luggage.
A horse, a burden, and a long standing person.
Yu Yi's anxious pace suddenly slowed down.
He walked towards Xiao Tan, thinking: Why are you in such a hurry?Everything is over, he and Xiao Qin still have a lot of time.
Xiao Qin opened one arm to catch Yu Yi who was rushing towards her.
"Your Highness."
"Well, let's go."
"Where to go."
"Just go."
Xiao Tan nodded, got on the horse, and stretched out his long arms to grab Yu Yi in front of him.
"Your Highness, sit still."
Let's go.
There are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and some people are at ease.
Xiao Qin wrapped Yu Yi's waist with one hand and reined in the rein with the other, and finally looked back at the city gate.
The fiery red sunset reflected the eyes.
Just like the day he first entered the imperial city in his previous life.
Only this time, he doesn't have to ask for another life.
---END---
The battle situation is not irreversible, he should trust Xiao Tan.
He sat by the bed and watched Xiao Qin put the armor on his body.
"Come back early." Xiao Qin put on his clothes, turned to look at him, and Yu Yi said calmly.
"Understood." Xiao Qin nodded, walked to the door, thought for a while and walked back a few steps, held Yu Yi's face, and kissed him hard on the forehead.
"gone."
"Ah."
Xiao Qin opened the door and went out.The huge Prince's Mansion was empty, Yue Yang and Duan Fangzhu were not around, and he and Yu Yi didn't like to be close to others, so they sent them all away last night, but Li Yanting was taken aback, for fear that the master would be unhappy , I will take the soldiers back to the capital.
There was no one in the street, except for a few breakfast establishments that were still open.Xiao Qin walked all the way to the martial arts arena, and immediately saw Li Yanting standing on the high platform.
"Young Master Xiao!" Li Yanting seemed to be talking to the soldiers, when he saw Xiao Qin approaching, he waved the knife in his hand, "Come up!"
Xiao Tan nodded and walked up to the high platform. Wang Heng had already arrived. He stepped on the railing and smiled awkwardly at Xiao Tan.
Who is he, Wang Heng? He has been on the battlefield for so many years, and he knows that the power of those dignitaries will more or less infiltrate into the army.But it was the first time he saw an adult who was willing to put his cronies into this kind of narrow-death battle. Although Xiao Qin's martial arts were good, how could he say accurately what happened on the battlefield?
The second prince would not want to take this opportunity to get rid of the "male wife" and ascend the throne in the future so that he can establish another queen.
Wang Heng was overwhelmed, and looked at Xiao Tan sympathetically.
"Young Master Xiao, according to what was discussed last night, the three of us will divide into three groups. Young Master Xiao will lead people to burn all the food and grass in the northern camp. General Wang and I will outflank them from both wings and catch them by surprise. "
"Xiao Tan understands, it's all up to Mr. Li to arrange." Xiao Tan was very polite and didn't want Li Yanting to feel pressure at this time.
Li Yanting heaved a sigh of relief.
When discussing the plan last night, he deliberately found an errand for Xiao Qin that was least likely to cause death. He thought that the Second Highness would object, but he didn't. The division of labor between the several people was determined smoothly.
Xiao Qin himself is not a person who likes to make great achievements, and he knows that meritorious deeds must be done day by day, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.
The most urgent task is to drive these barbarian cavalry back to northern Xinjiang, otherwise Yu Yi will not even be able to ascend the throne.
Li Yanting smiled at the two of them, seeing that the soldiers below were almost assembled, he raised his saber and waved it twice to boost morale.
"Let's go." Wang Heng stood up and stretched his muscles a few times.
What Xiao Qin has to do is simple and easy, but difficult to say.He wants to lead his troops to detour behind the enemy camp, find the place where their grain trucks are parked, and then burn them all down.One is to attract the attention of the enemy and create opportunities for Wang and Li to attack, and the other is to leave a way out for the capital - Ancheng's food reserves are not enough for such a large army to trek all the way to the capital. Without food and grass, no matter who wins or loses this battle, they will withdraw their troops and return to the north.
As long as there are no accidents, the troops sent by the people from Northern Xinjiang to guard the food and grass are as they have investigated, and Li Yanting and Wang Heng can come from the two wings in time, Xiao Tan and his fellow travelers should not encounter any danger.
"My lord," a soldier crawled beside Xiao Tan and whispered to him, "The enemy is ahead of them where they store food and grass. Should we go there now, or wait."
"Wait a little longer," Xiao Tan looked at the sky, "Let the brothers prepare all the flints."
"Yes."
Li Yanting and Wang Heng had to take a long detour, and Xiao Qin had to wait until they were almost there before making a move.If it is exposed too early, there is no guarantee that the people of Northern Xinjiang will not concentrate all their firepower against them in a fit of anger. By then, with the small number of people led by Xiao Qin, it will really not be able to last for a few hours.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Tan saw that it was almost done, so he asked everyone to take their positions and prepare to attack the camp.The lurking is too slow, it is better to attack directly, with the main force attacking from both wings, the odds of winning should be a little higher.
Holding his breath, Xiao Qin sneaked to the gate of the camp, beckoned, and a few people who came up behind him looked at Xiao Qin, and kicked open the temporary wooden door.
"who!?"
There was an instant scolding sound from inside.
Xiao Tan ignored them, and bullied himself up to deal with the people who came. The soldiers behind him split into two groups, facing the guards next to the grain truck, and continued to go in, taking out the fire starter that he had prepared long ago.
"According to the previous plan, everything—"
Before the words fell, there was a sudden scream from inside.
Xiao Qin froze for a moment, and then quickly ran towards the inside. As soon as he turned around a granary, he saw corpses scattered all over the floor, all of them were theirs.
"Want to burn our granary!?" A man from Beijiang held his wrist and grinned at Xiao Tan, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
"They have an ambush!!" Someone yelled first, and the scene suddenly got out of control.
Xiao Tan cursed secretly, kicked away the Northern Xinjiang soldiers who rushed in front of him, turned and ran outside.
When they arrived in Ancheng yesterday, Li Yanting had already listened to the reply from the outpost. Later, when they made the detailed plan, they didn't let a few people come out to report to Yu Yi, and Li Yanting only gave a brief introduction of the situation.
Either that kid was duplicity and colluded with the enemy secretly; or those outposts had already defected, but Li Yanting didn't realize it.
Xiao Qin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.There are too many people on the opposite side, and they are outnumbered, and they may not be able to get out if they go head-to-head.
In a panic, he rescued a person, and just about to stretch out his hand and drag him behind him to let him go quickly, he caught a glimpse of the package behind the person, which looked like...
Xiao Qin tore off the package—it was explosives!
"Did you bring explosives?"
"Yes, Mr. Li asked me to carry it," the soldier had just escaped from death, panting heavily with lingering fear, "he said, said, there are only these explosives left in the city, let me carry them just in case, The subordinate is at the end of the line... I haven't found a chance to tell you."
Xiao Qin glanced around the densely packed granaries, clasped the soldier's shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "Follow me, be careful around—"
……
When Li Yanting attacked, he felt something was wrong. There were too few people in the enemy camp. Later, when he heard a series of earth-shattering explosions and saw the flames in the north, he had a bad feeling.
How did you use the explosives?But don't worry about what happened to Xiao Qin.
He suppressed his doubts and continued to attack, but he didn't expect that the journey would go smoothly, and he would meet up with Wang Heng not long after.The two looked at each other in horror, and rushed towards the direction of the fire.
There are broken arms and limbs everywhere, corpses, granaries, tents, chariots and luggage, all burned to the ground.
Li Yanting squatted down, picked up a cluster of explosive powder, brought it to his nose and sniffed it, "Yes, it is the explosive prepared by Ancheng—"
He didn't have time to think about it, his voice trembled violently, he pulled out his knife and rushed into the dusty, smoky area in front of him.
"Young Master Xiao—" "Xiao Qin!!"
Everyone was cautiously on guard at the beginning, but later they found that there were almost no living people standing on the ground, so they simply shouted at the top of their voices.
Li Yanting's desperate hands were trembling.
He was so unlucky.After finally looking forward to the reinforcements from the capital, after finally winning a battle, something like this happened again.Those outposts had better be dead, otherwise he wanted them to look good!
"Cough, cough, cough, Master Li." A hoarse voice came from behind, and Li Yanting turned around in surprise, seeing Xiao Qin restraining a person, staggering over, his head and face covered in black ashes.
"What's going on! Are you okay?" Li Yanting rushed forward, almost crying with joy.
"It's okay." Xiao Qin coughed twice and shook his head, then threw the person in his hand to Li Yanting.
"It's him!!" Li Yanting was a little surprised.
This man had a bowl-sized wound on his right chest, and his face was frighteningly pale. If it wasn't the famous third prince from Beijiang, who else could it be! ?
"He didn't know my details, so he wanted to sneak attack me." Xiao Tan explained.
Li Yanting looked at him in shock.
Sneak attack, then what?The martial arts of this Third Highness are not comparable to ordinary people, even he is not sure that he can beat it.
"It's nothing more, he can't beat me," Xiao Qin smiled, "The others were either killed by the bomb, or they surrendered after seeing the leader captured. Is this finally...playing a little role?"
Li Yanting was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
"The surrendered soldiers and the surviving soldiers are outside the camp." Xiao Qin patted him on the shoulder, turned and walked out, "clean up the battlefield, let's go back to the city."
*****
The people from Northern Xinjiang finally returned to Northern Xinjiang.
For the people of Ancheng, there is nothing more worthy of celebration this summer than this.
Yue Yang and Li Yanting personally escorted the Third Highness back, and sent all the prisoners back to Northern Xinjiang.Yu Yi sent someone to send a letter to An Qingjiang overnight, and the negotiating ministers prepared by the imperial court had already set off on their way.
The group stayed in Ancheng for a few more days. Xiao Qin personally led people to restore the facilities and military defenses of Ancheng, and the people moved back one after another—but they couldn't wait for the day when the city would resume prosperity.
Yu Yi wanted to go back to Beijing, and Xiao Tan agreed.The matter of Yu Yinjiang's death is still being kept secret, and it's time to tell the world.
"Your Highness, Elder An Ge wrote a letter again." The guard knocked on the wall of the carriage and handed a letter through the window.
Since they set off from Ancheng until today, in just one and a half days, An Qingjiang wrote five letters and mailed them. The senders didn't have to go to the post station. They could meet them by waiting on the official road. The letters were all about Yu Yi's ascension to the throne. related matters.
Yu Yi leaned against Xiao Qin, yawned, opened the letter and glanced at it hastily, then put it aside, and sighed helplessly: "Mr. An Ge is really... I can't wait for this king to return to Beijing to discuss any urgent matters. "
"A country cannot live without a king." Xiao Qin squeezed his hand solemnly.
Yu Yi was a little funny.
This person was obviously very nervous about living in the palace, but he still tried to persuade him by pretending to be indifferent.
"What are your plans in the future?" Yu Yi straightened up, took a sip of tea, and asked Xiao Qin tentatively.
"What's the plan?" Xiao Qin didn't react for a moment.
"Accompany His Highness to ascend the throne, and move things from the palace to the palace."
Yu Yi shook her head, "Not enough."
Xiao Qin thought for a while, his expression froze for a moment, and then said: "Take care of the affairs of the harem, and assist His Highness...to choose a concubine?"
Yu Yi didn't hold back, and laughed loudly.
Xiao Qin hugged him helplessly, and lightly reprimanded him, "Your Highness, don't laugh."
Yu Yi lay on his shoulders, trying to hold back her laughter, until her whole body trembled.
Xiao Qin took care of the harem, so he really didn't even dare to think about it.
"I can do anything," Xiao Tan stroked Yu Yi's long hair, "as long as His Highness likes it."
"Really?" Yu Yi raised her head upon hearing this, and looked at Xiao Qin without blinking.
"Really." Xiao Qin looked back seriously, and hooked the corners of his mouth.
Although he was more used to the world than the court, he was not as restrained as Yu expected.The fact that the two of them can be together peacefully in this life is already a blessing that he can't even ask for.
"Okay, this is what you promised this king, and you are not allowed to go back on your word in the future."
"Naturally." Xiao Tan said immediately, after a pause he felt that it wasn't enough, and hurriedly added, "A mountain of swords and a sea of fire, a harem court, I will do whatever I want."
Yu Yi looked at him with a strange expression.
The guard outside the carriage was drowsy when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter erupting inside the carriage.
His Royal Highness Duan Wang, who was always terrified on weekdays, and the emperor who was about to ascend the throne, pressed his princess's shoulder, laughing and crying non-stop.
Xiao Qin hugged him to prevent him from accidentally falling off the couch. Seeing that the man had no intention of stopping for a while, he could only helplessly call out, "Your Highness..."
……
It was the night of the third day when I arrived at the imperial city. Yu Yi was so tired that she wanted to go back to the mansion and hug Xiao Qin to sleep, but before she entered the mansion, she saw An Qingjiang guarding the gate from afar, followed by Minister of Rites.
The corner of Yu Yi's mouth twitched, and he immediately turned the carriage around.
"Your Highness—Your Highness—"
The Anqingjiang man was too old to chase him, and his voice became farther and farther away.
Yu Yi heaved a sigh of relief, the coachman asked him where he was going, he thought about it, and simply let him go in the direction of the palace.
"What are you doing in the palace?" Xiao Qin was a little confused.
"Walk around casually, I will take you to relax." Yu Yi said casually.
Xiao Qin was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the reason was a little too perfunctory, but he still accompanied Yu Yi into the palace.
The two of them boarded the majestic high wall of the Forbidden City and strolled on it. They can have a panoramic view of the cooking fires of each family, the patrolling soldiers, and the delicate flowers growing wildly outside the palace wall.
"My concubine told me that the palace walls and the stone steps in front of the palace have a history of more than 3000 years." Yu Yi held Xiao Qin's hand and looked at the sky in ecstasy.
Xiao Qin saw that Yu Yi had something on his mind, but he didn't ask any more questions, just stayed with him without saying a word, and listened to his rambling chat about old things.
"She also said that in just a few decades of life, you have to be as willful as you can. She is willing to enter the palace for her father. She doesn't regret it, but it doesn't mean she is happy."
Xiao Tan didn't know what to say, so he could only squeeze Yu Yi's hand in a comforting way.
Yu Yi closed her eyes, Ying Xiang's voice and smile was still in front of her eyes, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch a smile.
After a while, he finally made up his mind to open his eyes and turned to face Xiao Qin.
"My lord has something to tell you."
Xiao Qin nodded and looked at him intently.
"I don't intend to inherit the throne. The prince and brother have been exiled in the frontier for a long time, and it's time to return to Beijing."
"In the final analysis, this world should belong to him."
Xiao Tan's eyes were fixed, and he suddenly felt that he was in a dream.
"Your Highness, you—"
"You don't need to ask, I've thought it through." From the day Xiao Tan left him to go to the enemy camp, he knew exactly what he wanted.
Yu Yi took out a piece of light blue letterhead from her bosom, and handed it to Xiao Qin.
"One branch of Lingchun is old, and five branches of sweet osmanthus are fragrant. The famous 'Autumn Water Osmanthus Banquet' in the south of the Yangtze River, my king has long wanted to take you there, and specially sent someone to fetch an invitation card. Today is your birthday, and I don’t care about everything. Yes, even the mountains and rivers are close at hand, but after much deliberation, I don’t know what I can give you.”
"I heard that my mother and concubine used to be a frequent visitor to the sweet-scented osmanthus banquet. This king has always wanted to visit, but I don't know if you have been there."
Xiao Tan tremblingly took the letter paper, with a few pale yellow osmanthus flowers pressed on the corner.
——One branch of lingchun is old, and five branches of osmanthus are fragrant:
Jiangnan Cao’s Autumn Water Osmanthus Feast, waiting for Xiao Qin and Ying Si to drive
"Ying Si..." Xiao Tan wiped the ink written with the brush with his fingertips, and his eyes became wet as he read it.
He embraced Yu Yi, buried his face in the crook of his neck, and burst into tears instantly, "I love you."
Yu Yi rubbed his hair, and said with a soft smile, "I love you too."
In the evening, the sky was clear, and a group of birds flitted across the eaves, casting a black shadow on the misty gray-blue sky.The warm yellow setting sun hit the two of them, Xiao Tan wrapped a piece of clothes around Yu Yi's body, and embraced him from behind, Yu Yi leaned in his arms, her ears were loud and quiet.
"Xiao Tan."
"Ah."
"After this matter is over, we will set off for the south."
"it is good."
"The good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is permanent, maybe we can catch up..."
"Fold the last osmanthus."
73. [Latest] Shanshui [End of the full text] (two chapters merged) It’s just this...
"Your Highness!"
Xiao Tan and Yu Yi were relaxing and enjoying their time together for a moment, and before they had taken a few breaths, they heard someone calling him behind them.
The two turned their heads, and An Qingjiang stood halfway up the long steps, looking at them with a serious face.
Xiao Qin coughed lightly, let go of Yu Yi and took a step back.
Earlier, Yu Yi turned around and ran away as soon as he arrived at the palace. An Qingjiang finally waited for the carriage, and hurried to the palace. After climbing dozens of steps, he looked up and saw His Royal Highness Duan Wang—the future emperor of Jing Dynasty—with his concubine Hug together as if no one else was around.He fell back angrily, and was about to remind Yu Yi to pay attention to etiquette, but somehow he didn't say anything, and just stood there waiting for them to separate.
After waiting for a long time, the two had no intention of separating at all. An Qingjiang couldn't bear it anymore, so he spoke out.
"Old An Ge." Yu Yi nodded politely towards An Qingjiang with a calm demeanor.
"Your Highness," An Qingjiang coughed a few times, and was supported by the little eunuch and walked up, "How is Your Highness thinking about enthroning? The Ministry of Rites has already drawn up several regulations, and I will wait for His Highness to choose."
Xiao Tan and Yu Yi looked at each other, and the latter said after consideration: "This king...does not intend to inherit the throne."
"...!?"
An Qingjiang staggered, almost dodging his waist.
"What, what!" He has assisted the emperor for decades, and he has never lost his composure, but Yu Yi's words are really...
"Your Highness is the successor handpicked by the late emperor. How can you say that if you don't want the throne, you don't want the throne? It's a matter of Guozuo, how can you just play around!"
Yu Yi helped him to go down the steps, "Don't worry, Mr. Ge. I mean to change someone. I didn't say anything. I will let go of him immediately and go away with Xiao Qin."
An Qingjiang hadn't thought of this before, but when he heard Yu Yi say this, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and looked at him suspiciously.
Yu Yi explained helplessly, "Brother Prince is still in the frontier, shouldn't it be time to bring him back? This king wants to—"
Before he finished speaking, An Qingjiang took a sharp breath, rolled his eyes and passed out.
Yu Yi was taken aback, caught him in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Come on—"
******
An Qingjiang was ill, and it seemed that he was ill by Yu's spirit.
His Royal Highness Duan moved his family to Anfu to take care of the patients himself.
"Ahem," Yu Yi sat at the table, watched An Qingjiang drink the medicine, and said earnestly, "Old An Ge, the emperor's brother has both ability and political integrity, and he has been taught by the orthodox prince since he was a child. This king is an idle prince. , how do you know how to govern the country? Besides, you watched the emperor grow up, you should know the emperor, and know that he can take good care of the country."
An Qingjiang held his breath and didn't speak, his little grandson took the clean medicine bowl and ran out - that was the future emperor, the An family didn't dare to let him play around in front of Yu Yi, lest he say something wrong What he said made Yu Yi unhappy.
Sitting aside, it was not easy for Xiao Qin to intervene, so he poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Yu Yi, who took it and drank it down, moistened his throat, and continued to persuade, "Besides, the emperor was exiled, he was wronged, Now that the real culprit has been...it's really inappropriate to keep Brother Huang on the frontier."
When An Qingjiang heard Yu Yi say this, he held his breath and almost didn't come up, and finally couldn't help it: "The mother of the crown prince is trying to kill the king, this—"
Yu Yi thought for a while and said: "The king's biological mother is still a dancer. The elder Ge was very opposed to it before, but now he can accept it? How can the fault of that one be blamed on the emperor's brother? , did you make a slight mistake?"
"But when the prince was exiled to the frontier, his 'crimes', true or false, were already known to everyone!"
"It's not difficult to do, isn't it just a matter of overturning the case?" Yu Yi answered eloquently.
"..."
An Qingjiang reluctantly said: "The throne changes frequently, which is not in line with the etiquette system, and it is also not conducive to the stability of the government. Besides, the Ministry of Rites has already made arrangements. How can you go back on your word for such a waste of time and money as enthronement!?"
Yu Yi shook her head helplessly, stood up and was about to say goodbye to An Qingjiang, "I just came from the Ministry of Rites, and they didn't dare to act rashly without my order; don't bother to make excuses, I will be here in a few days." Send someone to take the emperor back to the capital, you should take good care of your illness, the enthronement ceremony cannot be done without you."
After finishing speaking, Yu Yi dragged Xiao Tan out and walked out. Seeing that she was about to go out, she suddenly thought of something, turned her head and said, "By the way, Brother Huang definitely doesn't like extravagant ostentation. Elder Ge also said that enthronement is a waste of time and money. The king will inform the Ministry of Rites to keep everything simple."
An Qingjiang opened his mouth, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked at the backs of Yu Yi and Xiao Tan walking out together.
He didn't know how good the crown prince is. He was young and hardworking. When he was a baby, he was detained in the palace wall all day long to learn how to be a good prince and emperor. When he grew up, he was not loved by Yu Yinjiang, but he had no resentment , The several times of supervising the country have been done steadily.
Understand filial piety, know humility, not arrogant and indulgent, and stay away from lust/desire.After the crown prince was exiled to the frontier, An Qingjiang once thought that it would be impossible for the Jing Dynasty to produce a better prince than him.
Now that Yu Yi proposes that the crown prince inherit the throne, it is impossible for An Qingjiang not to be tempted, but... does this violate the rules of etiquette, and will it attract criticism?Will the court be in turmoil because of this, and where should the former emperor's will be placed?
An Qingjiang was stunned for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it..."
He is also old and can't live for a few more years. Since Mingjun is coming, he only needs to try his best to help, and he won't think about anything else.
******
Coming out of the An Mansion, Yu Yi quickly arranged all the affairs to be done by others, started to overturn the case, took the crown prince back to Beijing, stared at the Ministry of Rites preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and stared at An Qingjiang to recuperate...
Putting all the troubles behind him, Xiao Qin went to the suburbs of Beijing with Yu Yi on the afternoon of the third day.
The two stood by the lake, looking at the men and women who were boating in the lake, the willows and flowers, the water was sparkling, and the laughter was the same as before.
"Jinghu hasn't changed at all." Yu Yi sighed.
"We haven't changed." Xiao Qin held his hand, looked at him and smiled, "Go shopping for clothes? This is too plain, and you will be laughed at if you wear it to the south of the Yangtze River."
Yu Yi glanced at him helplessly, but in the end she still saved some face for him, and coaxed, "Buy, buy whatever you want, Duanwangfu has plenty of money, and can afford you."
Xiao Qin replied seriously: "The Meishan faction is also rich and can afford to support His Highness."
"That's what you said. This king will let people dissipate the family wealth and rely on you to support it."
"No, you must have a place to live when you return to Beijing in the future."
"Go back to Beijing in the future?"
"Of course, Your Highness grew up in the capital."
"Speaking of this, I'm thinking, should I take Uncle Duan to Meishan to spend his old age in peace?"
"I'm also thinking, Meishan has a beautiful view, and there are many people and it's lively."
Yu Yi hooked the corner of her mouth: "Then it's settled."
"Okay." Xiao Qin squeezed his hand.
The two stopped and went, and visited the suburbs of Beijing. The scenery was still the same, but they came back after more than half a year, and the mood of the two had already changed.
******
These days, Yue Yang has become the busiest person in the capital.
First, he went to Guize to transfer troops, and when he arrived in Ancheng, he was sent to the northern border by Yu Yi. After finally returning to the capital, he went to the border to pick up the prince.Now he was lying on the bed in Duanwang's mansion, so tired that he didn't even want to say another word.
"Brother Yue, are you awake?" Qing Yuan called him outside the house, but Yue Yang didn't want to answer.
"Brother Yue!"
"What are you doing!" Yue Yang sat up, his eyelids folded several times due to sleepiness, before the crown prince was by his side, he didn't close his eyes for several days and nights, fearing that something might happen to this master, His Highness would skin him again.
"His Highness is coming." Qing Yuan poked his head out cautiously.
"..."
"His Royal Highness is coming!? You didn't say it earlier!"
Yu Yi walked in, "I didn't ask him to call you, I see you are tired."
"Your Highness." When Yue Yang saw Yu Yi, his eyes instantly became sore.
He has been with Yu Yi for so long, seeing that his master finally got his wish and has great power in his hands, but he gave up again.Yu Yi is going to Jiangnan with Young Master Xiao, he still doesn't know where he should go in the future.
"Sit down," Yu Yi smiled, "I have something to explain to you."
"Please speak, Your Highness." Yue Yang thought that Yu Yi had something serious to do, so he immediately pulled himself together.
"This king has discussed with the emperor, and when he ascends the throne—" Yu Yi paused.
Yue Yang listened attentively, thinking that no matter what, he must finish the last thing His Highness told him.
"When he ascends the throne, I will hand over the imperial army to you."
"... Huh?" Yue Yang was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up suddenly after realizing, "Forbidden Army!?"
Yu Yi patted him on the shoulder: "You deserve it."
……
After seeing Yue Yang, Yu Yi went to see Yu Xun again.
This kid is still very depressed, but he is happy when the prince is back.
Yu Yi chatted with him all afternoon, and at the end Yu Xun said hesitantly:
"I...I still want to guard the frontier, will the emperor agree?"
Yu Yi plucked his hair and scolded with a smile: "Talk to your brother yourself!"
*****
Seven days after the enthronement ceremony, at the request of the new emperor, everything should be kept simple.
Xiao Tan stayed in the mansion to wait for him, and Yu Yi entered the palace for the last time as King Duan.
Before the ceremony began, the prince invited him to the hall for a talk.
"Congratulations, Brother Huang." As soon as they met, Yu Yi sincerely congratulated the prince.
Yu Hui's leg injury was difficult to heal, so she pushed back the crowd, and rolled her wheelchair to Yu Yi.
"Second brother."
The two looked at each other, and a thousand words were in each other's hearts.
Yu Hui, who had been tempered by the frontier, became more and more tenacious. The new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, but he had already begun to have the bearing of the lord of the world, and he was not angry.
"Do you really want to leave? Don't even want the title of King Duan? Wouldn't it be good to stay and assist me with Yu Xi?"
Yu Yi smiled, avoiding the last question: "I really want to leave. The plaques in Duan Wang's Mansion have been removed, but I still have to ask Brother Huang to keep an eye on it for me, so that the house in my mansion does not collapse."
Yu Hui shook her head helplessly, and could only ask, "What has the plaque been replaced with?"
"Xiao Mansion." Yu Yi blinked, stepped forward and pushed Yu Hui out of the hall, and delivered it to the crown princess—no, the queen.
"The grand ceremony is about to begin, and I will take my leave now. When I come to the capital in the future, brother Huang, please don't miss me."
"Of course not." Yu Hui said seriously.
"That's good," Yu Yi turned and walked out, "A word from the emperor is as important as a thousand weights."
Yu Hui stayed where he was, staring at him in a daze, and patted the queen's hand for a while.
"Yu'er, are you ready?"
"Ready."
The palace maid opened the palace door, and Yu Niang held the armrest of the wheelchair and slowly pushed Yu Hui out.
The square in front of the temple was full of kneeling people.
Seeing Yu Hui coming out, the voice of asking for gifts resounded through the sky.
Yu Yi quickly knelt down to the head of the crowd, looked up at the new emperor, and her heart couldn't help being touched again.
At the end of his father's reign, the government was in turmoil, and the dispute between the crown prince was bloody.
Now that Mingjun returns to the throne, everything...is finally back on track.
******
After the enthronement ceremony was over, Yu Yi rushed to the suburbs of Beijing non-stop.
Xiao Qin was already waiting there with his luggage.
A horse, a burden, and a long standing person.
Yu Yi's anxious pace suddenly slowed down.
He walked towards Xiao Tan, thinking: Why are you in such a hurry?Everything is over, he and Xiao Qin still have a lot of time.
Xiao Qin opened one arm to catch Yu Yi who was rushing towards her.
"Your Highness."
"Well, let's go."
"Where to go."
"Just go."
Xiao Tan nodded, got on the horse, and stretched out his long arms to grab Yu Yi in front of him.
"Your Highness, sit still."
Let's go.
There are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and some people are at ease.
Xiao Qin wrapped Yu Yi's waist with one hand and reined in the rein with the other, and finally looked back at the city gate.
The fiery red sunset reflected the eyes.
Just like the day he first entered the imperial city in his previous life.
Only this time, he doesn't have to ask for another life.
