Reincarnation of the powerful minister

"Look, the gods are writing in the sky!" A child with long hair pulled his mother's sleeve and yelled, pointing to the sky.

Countless people looked up at the night sky and were shocked by the magnificent four characters.Even if the fireworks are fleeting, this scene will be deeply engraved in the memory of everyone present.

"How many 'Fire Flying Apsaras' have to be released in one breath, and how many people have to ignite them at the same time!"

"There is also a lot of care when it is placed on the ground. It must be engraved like a woodblock printing. Only after flying into the sky can we see the correct font."

An official caressed his beard and smiled: "Hai Yan He Qing, Shi He Sui Feng, this is a good omen for a prosperous age, hahaha! I don't know which yamen in the inner palace wrote it. It's an ingenious idea."

A servant who knew him replied: "It's the emperor's order."

"The emperor is wise, using people as pens, fireworks as characters, and praying to the sky. This move will surely move the gods and bless my country with peace and prosperity."

More officials echoed: "Extremely extreme, Your Majesty is wise, long live long live long live!"

Daily life note Lang Linghu looked at the fireworks shells left in the open space, and said to himself: "Haiyan Heqing... It's good, I just think these words are familiar."

Jia Gongji, the censor next to him, said with a smile: "Your Excellency must have written too many notes on daily life every day, and all the words are familiar to him. By the way, where did the holy car go? Why isn't Your Excellency here to serve?"

Linghu looked around at the gate towers on both sides of the city wall, and said: "The emperor likes to be quiet, he climbs up to watch the lanterns, and he ordered that we don't need to accompany him. I don't know which tower it is at the moment."

"It's fine if you don't need to accompany the driver, let's go for a walk, don't talk about business today, go to enjoy the lanterns."

As soon as the two turned around, they were startled when they saw King Yu quietly standing behind them, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Highness is a thousand years old."

Yu Wang was dressed in a golden crown, holding in his arms a little son who was licking sugar, his face was obscured by the interweaving of night and flames, he turned and left without saying a word.

"Father, dad, I lost it..." He walked so fast that the sugar figure on Ah Qi's mouth fell to the ground.Ah Ji cried out anxiously in his arms, "Dudiu!"

King Yu stopped and looked down at his son.Ah Qi stared at the crushed sugar man on the ground in pain, flattened his mouth and cried loudly.King Yu was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "If you throw it away, throw it away. Even if you pick it up again, it will be dirty, broken, and unbearable to eat."

The crown prince wailed: "Agie wants to eat sugar..."

"You can't eat this." King Yu patted Shizi's little head, "Father will buy you a new one."

"The new... same as this one?"

King Yu nodded, "Father asked the seller to make a similar one for you. Let's start eating again, okay?"

Ah Ji stopped the tears in an instant, and became happy again.

King Yu raised his son high, buried his face in his skirt, suppressed the boiling emotions in his heart, and said silently: "Today is not the same as yesterday, so let's start over and pinch a brand new one for you."

Ah Ji hugged his father's head tightly, and urged, "Go, daddy, the new sugar man."

With a "click", the railing Shen Qi was holding broke into two pieces.

The subordinates were looking up at the sky and marveling at the wonder of the word fireworks. They were startled when they heard the sound, and turned to look at him: "...something happened? Please give me your orders!"

Shen Qi gritted her teeth, her face was full of haze like hatred and anger, she walked across the wooden bridge with strides, leaving all her unknown subordinates far behind.

He walked along the river bank towards the place where the fireworks rose. The destination was not the square in front of the Meridian Gate, but the nearby towers with the best view of the fireworks.

"—Stop!" A cold voice shouted from the side.

Shen Qi pressed the knife and turned her head, and saw Jing Hongzhui squatting on the bluestone steps by the river, holding a red lotus lantern in her hand.There is already a plain white lotus lantern on the surface of the water, which is about to float away from the shore. There is a folded talisman paper in the wick, which is obviously meant to pay homage to the dead.

Farther away, countless floating lights illuminate the dark river surface.Under the envelope of the lamp flame, Jing Hongzhui's face was still as sharp as the edge of a sword.

He flattened the deformed lotus lantern petal by petal, placed it on the water, stood up and asked, "What are you going to do with your evil spirit?"

"What does it have to do with you!" Shen Qi had been harboring murderous intentions towards Jing Hongzhui for a long time, but at this moment she had no intention of entangled with him.

Just as he was about to continue walking, he was stopped by the other party's figure that suddenly floated in front of him.

Jing Hong pursued: "It has something to do with the lord, it has to do with me. I see you have a fierce look in your eyes, if you want to go crazy, find another place to post it yourself, don't go to the lord."

Shen Qi asked: "Didn't you see the fireworks just now?"

"See you."

"You can't read?"

"...Haiyan Heqing!"

Shen Qi looked at him with the eyes of a dead wood, "Master Su you are loyal to is named Yan, and his name is Qinghe. This fireworks is clearly showing love in a high-profile way, can't you see it? In front of the whole city, you are blatantly announcing ownership, warning a certain People with ulterior motives are not allowed to get involved, who can make such a hand, you can't guess?"

Jing Hong chased indifferently: "So what if you see it? He is the emperor, don't you still want to step forward and snatch it?"

Shen Qi sneered: "Do you think I'm a brainless desperado like you? When planning something, you must first know yourself and the enemy, and then discuss the planning and arrangement. If you don't even want to inquire about the enemy's situation, you are just as Gao Shuo said, you deserve it When he was in his bridal chamber, he stuck the bed and used it as a shelf for hanging clothes."

"Who is the enemy?" Jing Hong asked back, "In my opinion, you were the enemy, King Yu was the enemy, the emperor and the crown prince were both enemies."

Shen Qi mocked: "Now, don't you think I'm like a robe?"

"Right now, Master Su's enemies are my enemies. He wants to become a marquis and a minister, and those who stop him from rising to the top are enemies; he wants to retreat to the countryside, and those who break his peaceful life are enemies. On the contrary, it is useful to realize Master Su's wish. I should tolerate his existence."

"You tolerate me?" Could it be that I tolerate you again and again for the sake of my wife?

Jing Hongzhui nodded: "Yes. Mr. Su was poisoned by you. I originally wanted to find a way to assassinate you as soon as I returned to Beijing. But now I find that you are useful to him. In business, you can be Mr. Su's helping hand , and in the eyes of those heavenly nobles, you are the vanguard who attracts firepower."

Shen Qi twitched the corners of her mouth, and laughed with a sinister bloody smell: "Okay, the calculation was good, so it's not a piece of wood, I underestimated you before. You said this in front of me, because you wanted to form an alliance with me ?”

"It's not an alliance. After all, you and I don't trust each other, we hate each other, and we will stab each other in the back at any time." Jing Hong said frankly, "But at least for now, I can see that you are standing Master Su's side.

"King Yu insulted the lord, and the lord told me 'don't do it openly', so no matter how good his martial arts are, I will find an opportunity to attack him secretly. The prince is still young, and the lord looks at him with a bit of concern from a teacher. At present, it seems that he can handle it. As for the emperor... I haven't been in touch with it, so I can't figure out the details. But at least for now, he can reuse the lord, and when the lord lets go of his ambition, his eyes are bright. , this brilliance has been extinguished because of the emperor's suspicion, suppression and death, it's time for me to do something."

He said a lot in one breath, with a flat tone, but it caused waves in Shen Qi's heart.

Shen Qi stroked the metal spikes on the handle of the knife with her fingers, as if lost in thought, and finally said: "You are right in saying that Qinghe's enemies are my enemies."

But there is another sentence, all those who hinder me from staying with him for life are my enemies.The emperor is, the prince is, the king of Yu is, and of course you are too.

"The wind and rain are approaching in the capital, do you smell the earthy smell in the air?" Shen Qi asked hoarsely.

Jing Hongzui was slightly stunned, thinking of the mysterious Fuyin, the unknown blood lotus symbol, the slain Oala envoy, and even the rumors that slandered the prince in the market that aroused Master Su's anger...

He nodded slowly.

"No matter who this wind and rain is coming at, it will affect Qinghe. He is standing too far forward." Shen Qi said.

"I will guard my lord well." Jing Hong chased.

Shen Qi coldly snorted unhappily: "If the emperor hadn't strictly guarded me, it wouldn't be your turn."

Jing Hong pursued, "He's not just guarding against you, there are four guards guarding the front yard, and I can only go through the window."

The two were silent together, as if they were deeply concerned.

Jing Hongzhui frowned: "Master Su will...will return home tonight?"

"You're not pretending to be generous, so why are you nervous again?" Shen Qi sneered again, "So I still have to go. As for you, just keep putting on your river lanterns. Put another thousand, ten thousand red lights for wishing marriage. The lamp is just wishful thinking."

Jing Hongzhui retorted: "No matter how wishful thinking you are, at least you can lie beside the adults and think about it."

Shen Qi's face turned green in an instant.

Zhu Helin stood on the tower next to the left gate of Que, and stretched out his hand to Fu Bao who hurried over: "Bring it!"

Across the square tens of feet away, only the silhouette of the tower next to the right gate of Que opposite can be seen. Even when the fireworks illuminate the night sky, only one or two blurred figures can be seen.

Fu Bao handed over the glimpse of a Western priest who had been introduced to Daming not long ago.

The peeping shaft is like a tube, the tube body is stacked one after another, so that it can be stretched, and both ends are made of glass, and the length can be considered according to the distance of the object being viewed.Not only can you see the sky, but it can also take pictures of objects several miles away, so it is also called a telescope.

Because the imported ones are rare and extremely precious, there are only two pairs in the palace at present.

Zhu Helin put the peeping stick up in front of his right eye, aimed at the opposite tower, and carefully identified it. After a while, he slammed on the railing and said angrily: "I'm afraid he'll be cold, so I ask someone to add clothes. What do you do? Take off your cloak and put it on. It's pretentious." !"

Suddenly he shouted again: "Cover your head to your feet, what a good thing to do with your face hidden!"

Then he jumped up and threw the peeping aside in anger. "Master, absolutely not, this is a rare item." Fu Bao rushed forward to catch it in fear.

"That's rare on the opposite side! The cloak is not only tightly covered, but also makes waves. Is this covering people or a net of fish? Have you seen this strange scene?" Zhu Helin blushed with anger.

Fu Bao didn't dare to say anything, and shook his head repeatedly.

"Shameless!" Zhu Helin cursed, "One moment I promised my young master, but the next moment I threw it out of the sky! Shameless!"

Just as he was so angry that he wanted to go downstairs and rush over, Fu Bao suddenly called out in a shrill voice: "Master! Look, Master!"

"What are you looking at, I'm going blind!" Zhu Helin yelled at him angrily.

Fu Bao pointed in the direction of the palace with trembling fingers: "Go...the water is gone!"

Zhu Helin was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the flames shooting up into the sky, but he didn't know which palace it was.He snatched the peeping pen from Fu Bao, adjusted the retractable tube to the longest position, and lost his voice after a while: "——It's Kunning Palace!"

"Mother!" He screamed, gripped the peeping box tightly, and almost rolled down the steps of the tower.

"Master, slow down, slow down!" Fu Bao shouted from behind, and followed Zhu Helin as he rushed down the tower.

Su Yan was so kissed that his legs were weak and his breath was short. He wanted to withdraw his troops but was captured again and again. His lips and teeth were slightly separated and blocked, and he whimpered vaguely: "The emperor... the emperor is enough, enough..."

The emperor is an old house on fire at this moment. Once the momentum rises, the flames will soar into the sky and cannot be contained.With one hand supporting the cloak, the other supported Su Yan's back and pressed forward, as if wanting to rub someone into his body.

"Not enough." He panted quickly, and turned to hold Su Yan's earlobe in his mouth, like a person in bitter summer holding a piece of bone-piercing ice jade, which can't quench the fire in his heart, but can only bring more eager trembling "Hold my neck, hold me tight... good boy, sit on my lap..."

Su Yan staggered a few steps with him, bumped into a pillar, and slid down on the low ledge of the moon hole window.

The emperor hugged him on his lap.The strange peak protruded, and Su Yan clung to it in horror. He couldn't help but grabbed the emperor's shoulder and resisted: "No, my lord, I don't want to..."

"Really don't want to?" The emperor guided his hand, stroking from his shoulders through the dragon robe, through the broad chest, and then to the tight waist, "I still don't want to be here?"

Su Yan was a little dizzy, and felt a gentle fire in his palm: "I really don't want... to serve the king with color, the emperor let me go..."

The emperor sighed: "I have let you go several times, but why have you let me go."

Su Yan wanted to say something more, but he heard a commotion from below the city tower, faintly mixed with shouts of "the water is gone, the water is gone".He quickly calmed down and said: "My lord, something seems to have happened down there, Rong Chen got up to have a look, and then report back."

The emperor knew that nothing could be done this time, he sighed and let go of his hand.

Su Yan lifted the cloak, got up from the dragon's legs in a hurry, his forehead almost hit the edge of the window, walked to the edge of the battlements and looked down.

There was no difference in the square, there were a few palace people shouting at the bottom of the steps of the tower, Su Yan followed the direction of their fingers, looked towards the palace, and saw a ray of fire soaring into the sky.
