Reincarnation of the powerful minister

"Sixteen years ago, the first emperor had just been enthroned for two years, and he began to think about cutting the vassal. As the eldest brother, Xin Wang was the first to bear the brunt and became his first target. At that time, the old man was the nurturing mother of Xin Wang's mansion. Witnessing how the late emperor forced His Royal Highness Xinwang to commit suicide..."

The old woman wiped away her dirty tears, and Lasu Xiaojing entered the unoccupied corner next to her, choked up and said:

"Concubine Xin knew that the catastrophe was inevitable, and she was afraid that her son and other princes would lose, so she rushed a pregnant concubine named Liu Mei out of the mansion before Jin Yiwei arrived. This concubine is your mother.

"The concubine said that in case the whole family is killed, the last heir of the king of Xin must be kept no matter what. So she handed over the longevity lock used by the prince to your mother. In order to prove your identity in the future, the concubine also sent the letter The prince of the king cut one of the clothes and made a baby swaddle. He personally wrote the matter in the swaddle and sealed it. Then he ordered several guards to take your mother out of the fief, intending to hide your name and give birth to you first.

"What I didn't expect was that some of the guards had a different intention and wanted to take your mother to ask for credit from the first emperor. There was a dispute among the guards, and your mother was lost among the people because of this.

"The king of Xin and the princes were killed, and the female relatives were dispatched to Lingnan. The old man and some old people in the Xinwang mansion who escaped by chance had no choice but to scatter and go to make a living separately. But the old man always remembered the princess's entrustment, and he must find your mother and son. Wang's lineage was cut off. So the old man returned to his old job and worked as a nun in many high-ranking officials' homes to inquire about news.

"Heaven has eyes! I searched hard for more than ten years, and finally, the year before last, in a jewelry store in the capital, I found the long-life lock in gold inlaid with five-color gemstones belonging to Princess Xin. I asked about the origin, and the shopkeeper said, He also received the lock from the pawnshop. The old man went to the pawnshop again and asked who pawned the lock. The shopkeeper said that the lock changed hands several times, and he didn't remember who pawned it.

"After much deliberation, I decided to collect enough money to buy the long-lived lock, and then slowly trace the source. I didn't want to be too late, the jewelry store had already sold the lock, and refused to disclose the identity of the buyer.

"The old man was helpless, so he had to investigate step by step. Until half a month ago, he finally found out that the person who bought the lock was a shabby household in the capital. He was provoked by someone, and his face was swollen to pretend to be fat. The old man went to find him again. Unexpectedly, he said that he played a leaf card with a boy from an official family and exported the lock.

"It took another seven or eight days, and the old man finally found you - as soon as he saw you, the old man knew that you were the posthumous child! You look so much like Liu Mei, and your eyebrows and eyes are exactly the replica of His Highness Xin Wang.

"—Is your mother, Liu Mei, still alive? Do you still have that swaddle in your hand?"

Su Xiaojing was dumbfounded.

What the old woman said was buzzing in his mind, and he understood every word, but it seemed like a fairy tale when connected together.

He thought that his mother and himself were the survivors of a prisoner's family, but he never expected that they would have a relationship with Tianhuang and the nobleman——that was King Xin!The eldest son of the Emperor Xianzu, the elder brother of the late Emperor, and the most powerful prince among the town's border princes!

——But he was also the one who committed the crime of treason, was forced to commit suicide, ransacked his family and destroyed his family, and his family members and descendants would never recover!

Is he really the son of King Xin?The blood on her body is... the royal family?

Su Xiaojing's whole body trembled violently, even his lips trembled.He smashed two cans of bean paste to the ground and shouted: "—Liar! I don't believe your nonsense!" He turned around and ran desperately.

The old woman chased him while screaming, but she was too old and frail to catch up, so she could only watch him disappear at the end of the street.

Su Xiaojing ran until his heart jumped out of his throat, and then he stopped, holding on to the tree trunk and retching for a while.

His mind was in a mess, and various images flickered in a mess. At one moment, it was the ugly face of the human teeth insulting their mother and child; When he was waiting for someone to choose, there was a blue dark coat standing in front of him - he looked up from the hem of the coat, saw a very young and gentle face, and thought: There is such a handsome little official in the world!Is this a descended male god?

It was several days after he was bought back that he finally confirmed as if waking up from a dream—this is not a male god, but a kind and easy-going little official, and he is the master he will serve for the rest of his life in the future.

Three years!He followed Mr. Su, suffered hardships, suffered hardships, and enjoyed blessings.Mr. Su never treated him as the person he is now, and taught him to read and write, and treated him and Su Xiaobei as the stewards of the Su residence to train him...

But, is it really "equal treatment"?Su Xiaojing shuddered violently amidst his chaotic thoughts, and asked himself—if he and Xiaobei were the same in Master Su’s eyes, why did the Lord like to ask Xiaobei to do any important and private matters, while he But can only run errands, guard the gate, and even be left alone in the yard to roast lamb chops?

He is indeed not as prudent as Xiaobei, but his loyalty and concern for adults are no less than Xiaobei's.Why Master Su is always worried about him——Although he didn't say it, he can feel that Master Su attaches far less importance to him than Su Xiaobei.

Why is that?

Su Xiaojing walked home in a distraught state.After entering the gate of Su Mansion, he sat in the gate room for a long time.It wasn't until sunset that the cook sent someone to report that the dinner was ready, and he got up lazily, ready to go to the main house to treat the adults to dinner.

Su Yan was all dressed up at this moment, ready to go out.

Su Xiaojing forced himself to put aside his messy thoughts, and asked, "My lord is going out before eating? Why is it so urgent?"

While holding an umbrella for Su Yan, Su Xiaobei reprimanded: "It's getting more and more unruly, sir, as the elder of the pavilion, where is he going, what is he doing, and he still has to report to you?"

Xiao Jing didn't like Xiao Bei's preaching face, but for the first time, he didn't argue with him, and said to Su Yan: "I just care, and want to share the worries for adults."

Su Yan smiled, reached out and flicked his forehead: "Don't worry. And you can't share my worries, just stay at home obediently."

The tone was clearly intimate, but Xiao Jing felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if he was treated as a pet cat or dog - he didn't feel this way on weekdays, but now it's different... Where is the difference?He couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"When will your lord come back, so I can ask the kitchen to warm up the food." He followed Su Yan's footsteps without giving up.

Su Yan's footsteps were in a hurry, as if he could not catch up with his best efforts in his life.Su Xiaobei held an umbrella for the adult behind him, and shot countless "shut up" eyes at him.

"You guys eat first, don't wait for me. I might have to stay in Wenyuan Pavilion again tonight, my young master—" Su Yan suddenly paused, and without further words, he turned to Su Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei Drive me into the palace in a carriage. Ah Zhui will come back later, you tell him that there is no morning tomorrow, and ask him to wait outside the Meridian Gate at Chenshi to pick me up."

Su Xiaobei obediently promised, asking Su Yan to wait at the gate while he drove the carriage over.

Su Xiaojing didn't open an umbrella, and stood in the courtyard staring blankly at Su Yan's back. His whole body was drenched from the outside to the inside by the slightly cold spring rain in March.

——He is just a servant, only worthy of serving tea and water for the nobles, guarding the gate... a servant for life!

Su Yan entered the palace in a carriage.

He just came back from Wenyuan Pavilion at Shenshi today, and it was just evening, and Zhu Helin sent guards to summon him again, presumably there was something important to discuss, so he rushed into the palace without stopping.

Zhu Helin now lives in Qianqing Palace.Firstly, because the Kunning Palace had been rebuilt, it was just behind the Qianqing Palace, so he could go to remember his mother from time to time, and then touch the newly hung lanterns inside to talk about comfort.Secondly, he doesn't want to occupy the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is where Emperor Jinglong used to live, and everything in the hall remains as it was before the death of the first emperor.Zhu Helin ordered people to take care of the place as usual, every flower, every tree, every fragrance and ink, even the fruit plate and tea soup on the table, had to be prepared every day as his father was alive.Even the clothes for the four seasons had to be made according to his father's stature, and a set must be prepared and hung in the closet.

——As if the late emperor would return from the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss at any time, and then sit back on the dragon chair in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The palace people all said in private: Our new emperor is filial piety, but it is not a little too "infatuated".

This "love" is not the relationship between men and women, but the relationship between father and son.But whether it is family, friendship or love, if you are too persistent and can't let it go, many people will have a sick taste in their eyes, and they will become the so-called "crazy", and then worry further, will it be "crazy" become "crazy".

Only Su Yan knew that Zhu Helin was really waiting for his father to wake up - together with him, waiting and looking forward to it every day and night.

In front of the Dongnuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Su Yan met Fu Bao who was standing outside the gate.

Fu Bao, and Cheng Sheng, as the people around the new emperor who accompanied him when he was the prince, are now the most important among the internal officials.Compared with them, even Lan Xi, who was still guarding the jade seal in the Lijian, seemed to be a little bit old.

Fu Bao is already sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and he is much more stable than when he first met Su Yan, but his smile when facing Su Yan is still the same as before.

After bowing and saluting, he said: "Master Su is here, young master... Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. The little one is standing here, listening to the footsteps inside, pacing up and down, asking for tea and preserved fruit for a while." , seems to be changing ways to pass the difficult waiting time, just like when I was waiting for the adults to come in the East Palace, it was exactly the same."

Su Yan returned the salute to him: "How can it be, the emperor used to be childish, but now he is much more mature and stable."

Fu Bao said: "That is, the emperor is more and more majestic now, and the little one almost forgot what he looked like when he was a child...Master Su, have you forgotten too?"

Su Yan figured out that he was a lobbyist, and said with a smile, "Okay, the past is the past, and the future is the future."

Satisfied, Fu Bao invited him into the hall.

Faintly hearing footsteps, Zhu Helin immediately sat back on the Arhat couch, put on a relaxed posture, sipped tea, and slowly turned a page of the book in his hand.

The moment Su Yan saw this scene, Su Yan fell into a trance, as if sitting there in a golden crown and dragon robe was the young emperor.He blinked and immediately came back to his senses - this was just an illusion brought about by the emperor's attire.

Zhu Helin was Zhu Helin, and Zhu Jinkui was Zhu Jinkui, and he never confused the two of them.

"Master looking for me?" Su Yan asked very freely.

"Yes, I want to ask you something, sit down." Zhu Helin rolled up the book in his hand and nodded on the kang table, signaling him to sit on the other side of the Arhat couch.

Su Yan was used to playing casually with him in the past, and has also adapted to his new identity in the past two months. He took off his boots and sat cross-legged on the couch: "What's the matter, you can ask."

Zhu Helin first tilted his head halfway, looked at him carefully, his eyes without joy or anger made Su Yan a little hairy, then pressed his arm holding the book on the kang table, leaned his upper body over, and asked with a low voice: "I heard that the two Years ago, that Altan was poisoned to the point of death, you stripped him of his clothes, rode on him and touched him, did you feel alive?"
