Prince of Heaven

Three years ago, Jing Huai had already left Shangjing with his master, and he knew nothing about Jiang's rebellion case before.When I checked the dossier from Tingwei, I didn't think about any hidden secrets in it, I just wanted to know a little more, so as to know myself and the enemy.Unexpectedly, this look really made him see something strange.

It was written in the file that after General Qi Zhou reported on the Jiang family, the emperor sent people to search the Jiang family and found a stack of correspondence between Jiang Feng and General Qian Guo, which had been coming and going for nearly a year.In the last few letters, the two of them made an appointment that Qianguo would invade the country in August, attracting most of Liguo's soldiers and horses to fight against them. At the same time, Jiang Feng led the troops to besiege the imperial city and take the Instead, after the event is completed, the Li country will offer a fertile land five hundred miles inside the border, and will not violate the Qian country at all within ten years.

As soon as this letter was exposed, it immediately aroused public outrage. Ting Wei Song Xirang, who investigated the matter, found traces of Jiang Feng raising private soldiers outside the city without wasting much effort.All of this went too smoothly, as if someone had prepared evidence there and was waiting for someone to pick it up.

With all the witnesses and material evidence, the emperor was furious and ordered the execution of the nine Jiang clans. In one night, blood flowed all over the ground in front of the Jiang family's gate, and screams could be heard endlessly.

The description on the dossier is simple, but there are many doubts.

First of all, as far as he knew, the relationship between the adopted son of the Jiang family, Qi Zhou, and the Jiang brothers and sisters was not good. Why would Jiang Feng let Qi Zhou know about Jiang Feng's rebellion, which was extremely private and related to the overall situation?Secondly, since Jiang Feng raised private soldiers, why didn't he resist at the critical moment and let the emperor destroy him all over the house?

There must be something hidden in this.

Jing Huai looked at the dossier and fell into deep thought. When Rong Shi came in, Future had no time to put away the dossier.

Rong Shi only glanced at it, and those records were reflected in his mind one by one.

Jing Huai knew that he had seen it, so he was not in a hurry to put away the file, instead he took Rong Shi's hand and led him behind the table for him to read it together.

The dossier recording this case is actually not the original version, but Jing Huai's re-transcribed version based on the memory he saw in Tingwei's Yamen, and the ink on it is still new.

Jing Huai's fingers flicked across the file, and finally stopped on the name "Qi Zhou".

"I was not in Shangjing when this case happened. Therefore, I don't know many details. But it seems that there are many doubts. Maybe you should know some inside information."

Jing Huai suddenly turned his eyes, and when he looked at Rong beside him, his voice was two points lower than before: "His Royal Highness."

Rong Shi caught off guard and raised his eyes, and happened to meet Jing Huai's direct gaze.He took a breath and said in a muffled voice, "You knew who I was?"

Jing Huai nodded.

"But I'm no longer the prince. Don't call me that."

Jing Huai stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to rub his head, but halfway he curled up his fingers and withdrew his hand.

He is willing to treat him as the king, so he should abide by the etiquette and not offend.Some subconscious behaviors should be restrained this morning, so as not to make a mistake in the future and let others see it.

"It's okay, it will happen again soon." Jing Huai said.

Rong Shi looked at him calmly: "So you don't want me anymore?"

"How can you say no?" Jing Huai frowned slightly, then sighed, and said, "What are you thinking about? Why would I abandon you? It's just a different way of getting along. You are the king and I am the minister." , I will treat you the same, maybe even better."

"So you're not leaving me, are you?"

Jing Huai said decisively: "Of course not." At least he will stay in Shangjing until he fulfills Master's last wish, and if he stays in Shangjing for a day, he will take care of Rong Shi for a day.

The next day, the abnormal thunderstorm weather still ravaged the land of Shangjing, and also disturbed the situation in the imperial city. All kinds of disturbing rumors of threats were rampant.For example, if this continues, there will be floods soon, and the Shangjing Imperial City, including the entire Li Kingdom, will be flooded.

The chaos in Shangjing was day by day, and the people were extremely anxious. There were several fights between officials and civilians in Shangjing.

In the afternoon, Zhao Buli caught a young man who looked like a son of God at the intersection in the east of the city.The young man yelled that he was not the Son of God, scolded and beat him, and was finally slapped unconscious by Zhao Buli, who carried him back to the temple, and woke him up again.After meeting High Priest Wen Ding of the temple, he couldn't say a word of denial.

Wei Yu was put on the stage of guilt, and confessed to the gods in public to appease the anger of the gods.It is said that Wei Yu burst into tears at that time, and every sentence of guilt seemed extremely sincere.Under the heavy rain all over the sky, the crowd of onlookers crowded the streets with umbrellas next to each other.

In the evening of that day, the continuous heavy rain finally stopped, and the dark clouds pressing down on the sky of Shangjing dissipated.

Such a spectacle has probably never been seen by the people of Shangjing for dozens of generations.For a moment, everyone was subdued, and the surrounding people all looked in the direction of the statue, and knelt down to the God of Suzaku.

The panic caused by the rumors dissipated overnight, and people's reverence for the gods increased again. Within a month, the incense in temples everywhere began to flourish, and there was an endless stream of people worshiping the gods.The rich believers and great benevolent people have doubled.

Jinghuai solved such a difficult problem within seven days of seeing the emperor. Longyan was very happy, and he rewarded Jinghuai for his meritorious service in the court hall: he was named Xihuajun, [-] households in the city, and a large number of beauties and treasures were also rewarded.

The whole mansion of Duke Jin'an was filled with a festive atmosphere, and the master and master were beautiful, and the servants all had good faces outside, not to mention, Mrs. Jin'an also generously rewarded all the servants in the mansion. People, the servants got on, and they said a lot of auspicious words with flexible mouths, which made the Duke's wife laugh all day long, and those who were dull and unable to speak also kowtowed and wished a few words of hello.

The maidservant brought a cup of hot tea to Mrs. Guogong. Mrs. Guogong took the tea and scraped the tea twice with the tea cover, then suddenly turned to ask Chunyu, the maidservant next to her, "Have you got all the rewards?"

Chun Yu hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "There is still one person in the mansion who has not been rewarded."

The Duke's wife asked: "Who is it? Didn't you notify everyone?"

Chun Yu hurriedly said: "Your servants have notified you. He is a palace man brought back from the palace a month ago by the young master. He has been ill for a long time. The young master allowed him to rest. He is not allowed to wander around outside on weekdays, and no one will disturb him. , so maybe he doesn't know yet."

Mrs. Guo was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, it's him. I know this child. How is he now? Is he in better health? Have you invited a doctor yet?"

"The genius doctor Hua is treating him, and I heard from Yinzhu that he is much better."

Half an hour later, Yinzhu met Chunxiang, then trotted into Rongshi's room, and shouted inside: "Mingyu, madam wants to see you."

"Gong... son?"

Jing Huai glanced at Yinzhu and said, "Wait a minute."

He was rewarded by the emperor, and because he didn't like these vulgar things, he picked a few good-looking jade treasures for Rong Shi to play with.

Rong Shi thought that these things belonged to the emperor, so he frowned and pushed them back to Jing Huai: "I don't want his things."

Yin Zhu couldn't move his eyes away from those radiant treasures, and couldn't believe Rong Shi's outright rejection.

"You don't want any of this, every piece is priceless!"

Rong Shi sneered: "That city is too cheap."

"..." It seems to make sense.Yinzhu was speechless, but he was an ordinary person, and he still couldn't move his eyes away from those treasures.

Jing Huai knew that the reason for Rongshi's refusal was the emperor, and he also knew that the child had a deep knot in his heart.He waved back the Yinzhu, sighed slightly, and said: "Under the whole world, there is no king. If you hide because of him, you may have nowhere to hide."

Rong Shi frowned, seemingly unhappy.

Jing Huai said again: "But you don't need to hide, because sooner or later all these things will be yours."

"It doesn't matter whether it's the treasure, the imperial city, or the land." Jing Huai smiled slightly, and his tone was as firm as a promise, "It will all be yours."

"Even so, I don't like it."

Rong Shi's appearance was as willful as a real child, Jing Huai couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said, "Don't like it? Then what do you think?"

Rong Shi glanced at the dazzling jewels, and if you don't like it, you should destroy it.

But he didn't say it.

He thought for a while, and said: "Yinzhu said it's priceless, so sell it and buy a city?" These words sounded naive, but Rong Shi's tone was calm and almost serious.

Jing Huai couldn't figure out what the child meant for a moment, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, forget it if you don't want it. Let's go, mother wants to see you, I will go there with you."

Rong Shi stayed in Duke Jin'an's mansion for more than a month, but this was the first time he went to see the real owner of the mansion.

The Duke’s wife is well-maintained. She looks only in her 30s. She wears an exquisite woman’s hair in a bun, wearing a gold hairpin and jade hairpin, and two strands of bangs hanging from her ears.

Rong Shi greeted obediently, raised his head and secretly looked at Jing Huai's mother.

Mrs. Guo's eyes lit up when she saw Rong, and she was pleasantly surprised: "This child is actually smart and beautiful. He is two points better than Huai'er when he was young. Chunyu, don't you think so?"

Chun Yu thought to herself, Madam's child, she can be self-effacing, but if others follow suit, then she is out of her mind.She can become the maidservant by Madam's side, so she naturally knows what to say: "My son was a celestial figure when he was young, and now he is a romantic and handsome man admired by all the famous ladies in the capital. In my opinion, there are two flowers blooming, each of which is full of love." It's beautiful."

Mrs. Guogong smiled and said, "It's still you, a girl who can talk. I saw this child's face is kind, and I think it's fate. Chun Yu, bring me the amulet I asked for from the Suzaku Temple the day before yesterday."

"Yes." Chun Yu turned into the inner courtyard and brought back a kit embroidered with peach branches.

The Duke's wife took the bag and waved to her face.

Rong Shi glanced at Jing Huai, Jing Huai nodded to him, and he walked over.

Mrs. Guo said: "I originally wanted to reward you with some gold and silver, but you have such a character and appearance, how can those vulgar things match you. I heard that you are not in good health. It happened that I went to the temple to pray for blessings the day before yesterday, so I asked too much." I will give you an amulet, and I hope it will protect you forever."

Rong Shi was stunned for a moment, watching the Duke's wife hang the kit around his waist, and bowed his head in thanks.

"This child is really good." Mrs. Guo boasted, and then thought for a while, and said, "I always feel familiar, I seem to have seen it there."

Mrs. Guo didn't remember for a moment that she had seen Rong when she was younger in the palace, so Jing Huai made two daily greetings and changed the topic.

After another conversation, Jing Huai bid farewell to his mother and left with Rong Shi.

Walking out of the courtyard of the Duke's wife, a tall and slim woman with slightly revealing clothes walked towards her, shyly and timidly——

"what!"

I fell down.

She was one of the many beauties bestowed by the emperor, Jing Huai asked the housekeeper to explain to them that he would not want them as soon as they entered the mansion, and he could either stay in the mansion as a maid, or go to the cashier to collect money and leave.

Some of them went out of the mansion after receiving enough money to spend the rest of their lives in peace; some chose to stay in the mansion as maidservants—the servants of powerful families are sometimes more glamorous than ordinary people; Just like this woman, she wants to do good things with the young master who is receiving the grace of God, and seek a name.If you are lucky enough to have a son, then the mother will be more expensive than the son, and you will reach the sky in one step.

How many people can refuse such a temptation?

She raised her head to look at the young master not far in front, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there were tears in her eyes.
