Reincarnation of the powerful minister

(A thousand words have been added to the farewell scene in the previous chapter. If you can’t scan it, you can clear the cache.)

Zhu Helin personally led the Tengxiang Guard and the Firearms Battalion, and searched in Dashiyongfang in the middle of the night. When the rain stopped at dawn, he discovered the secret passage under the stage by the river that had been blasted open by gunpowder.

Chase along the secret road, the other end opens at Yibei Fang, and the west side is Guangning Gate of the outer city.

After searching the outer city and interrogating the defenders to no avail, Long Quan, the Commander of Tengxiang Guards, had no choice but to report to the Emperor: the prisoner Shen Qi escaped through the tunnel left by the Vacuum Sect with the help of the thieves, and may have left the capital.

Zhu Helin's face sank like water: "You lead the team to continue the search in the capital. In addition, order Shuntian Mansion to draw pictures and post them in all the mansions, and send arrest documents at sea. They are wanted all over the country."

Longquan was ordered to take care of it without mentioning it. At this moment, a royal guard hurried over and reported a few words to the emperor in a low voice.

Zhu Helin's complexion suddenly changed, and before he could change his wet robe, he jumped on his horse and galloped towards Huanghuafang in the east of the city.

But seeing a large group of Jinwu guards chasing the emperor who was galloping on horses, they were afraid that the emperor's driver would be lost.After chasing to the gate of Su's mansion in Huanghuafang, seeing the emperor directly breaking in, they dared not raise their team to break into Ge Lao's mansion, so most of them waited outside, only a dozen confidant guards walking in front of the emperor followed.

Zhu Helin rushed into the main house familiarly all the way, and happened to meet Su Xiaobei who was holding an empty medicine bowl outside, and immediately asked, "Is Qinghe okay? Is he sick or injured?"

Su Xiaobei's eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency coughed up blood, he was brought back by Brother Chase, and he vomited again when he entered the door, with bile and blood foam..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhu Helin plunged into the back room and went straight to the bed.

A ball of silk on the bed was wrapped in a human figure, only the long black hair and a pure white face were exposed on the pillow, and the eyelashes were tightly closed.Jing Hong chased and sat on the footboard in front of the bed, holding Su Yan's wrist, and the true energy flowed continuously into his veins like a gentle stream.

Zhu Helin asked anxiously, "What happened to him?"

Jing Hong chased and said in a deep voice: "Qiqing hurts. I have already fed the pill you gave me."

Zhu Helin recalled the situation when Qinghe thought his father had died before, and he still had lingering fears: "Why is hemoptysis so severe this time?!"

"Hemoptysis is due to damage to the esophagus and stomach." Jing Hongzhui looked sad.He is already at the level of a master in martial arts, his inner body is full of true energy that is always self-generated, and the output of this line of true energy is small and slow, even if it does not stop for several days and nights, he can handle it with ease.This gloominess comes more from the mood.

He frowned and said, "Actually, these damages to your viscera are not serious. What is really serious is the emotional imbalance, which causes the yin and yang disorder in your body. If you don't recuperate in time, you may damage your vitality and foundation, and lead to many diseases in the future, and even..."

"Even what?"

"It may even damage the longevity."

Zhu Helin said in surprise: "Then hurry up! The imperial physician! I'll call all the imperial physicians to come over for consultation immediately, how to take medicine, how to treat, hurry up!" He spoke incoherently, and ran out of the room to order the court in person, regardless of the emperor's prestige. He went down to the guards to call the imperial doctor, and then turned back, carefully pushed aside a corner of the quilt, and sat sideways on the edge of the bed.

Looking down at Su Yan's bloodless face, Zhu Helin nervously put his knuckles on the other's nose to feel his breath, and was chased by Jing Hong and gave him a hard look. Only then did he suppress the anxiety in his heart, calm down, and asked: "Qinghe Last night... met Shen Qi?"

Jing Hongzhui nodded slightly.

Zhu Helin said angrily: "What did that killer say to him to stimulate him like this?"

Jing Hong chased her hand, closed her eyes and did not answer.

Zhu Helin gritted his teeth: "If you don't tell me, I can guess it. You bastard, I should have let the firearms hand shoot him to death in Fusi, Beizhen last night!"

Under the quilt, Su Yan took a long and loose breath, and slowly opened his eyes.Zhu Helin wanted to hold his shoulder, but retracted it halfway, touched it through the quilt, and asked softly, "Qinghe, are you feeling better?"

Su Yan said softly: "I made the emperor worry."

Zhu Helin couldn't help but feel his throat astringent: "Are you angry with me? Because of Shen Qi?"

"I don't have any."

"There are no outsiders here, but you call me the emperor."

Su Yan twitched the corner of his mouth weakly, and changed his words: "Let the young master... He Lin worry."

Only then did Zhu Helin feel relieved, and stroking his cheek with his fingers: "I heard that you passed out when you returned home, but I was so worried! Just wake up now, and let the imperial doctor consult with you in a while, and take medicine to recuperate."

Su Yan asked back with a low-pitched voice: "Young master wants to know how I found Shen Qi, and what did I say to him?"

The corner of Zhu Helin's mouth twitched down: "I don't want to know! The prisoner was escaped by the remnants of the Vacuum Sect. It has nothing to do with you. You didn't see him last night, and you didn't know about it. Also, no matter what he said The words are all dog fart, you are not allowed to listen to your ears and take it to your heart. He is a traitor, and he will be dealt with by the state law in the future, so don't waste a single cent of your mind on it, understand?"

"It has nothing to do with me?" Su Yan's face was pale, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I let him go, otherwise Ah Zhui would be by his side, how could he escape. National law and morality, let the tiger go back to the mountain. At least half of the help, blood debts and crimes committed by the players in the future should be attributed to me."

Now not only Zhu Helin's face changed, even Jing Hong's pursuit was also difficult to accept, and persuaded: "My lord, quickly take this back! The crimes are theirs, and have nothing to do with your lord."

Su Yan closed his eyes and didn't speak for a while.

Zhu Helin and Jing Hongchai looked at each other with worry in their eyes.The two wanted to persuade them again, but Su Yan said indifferently: "Master, I have something to ask, can you agree?"

Zhu Helin hurriedly said: "Don't say one thing, ten or a hundred things are also acceptable, just say it."

Su Yan turned to look at him, there was an indescribable strange color in his expression, and the words were clear: "I beg you not to publish Shen Qi's crimes in public, and not to arrest him across the country, can you agree?"

Zhu Helin froze, anger and embarrassment fluctuated on his face.

Su Yan said: "I know that the young master is most concerned about the safety of the emperor. Last night, Shen Qi told me personally that he did not kidnap the emperor, and right now he will not sell the news of his fake death to Yi Zhe. He can't do that Lying. So the emperor is not in the other courtyard, and there is another possibility—"

Zhu Helin lost his voice and said: "Father is awake! Finding that the situation is not right, he left by himself, and brought Dr. Chen and the others with him!"

"There is a possibility. The emperor has been in a coma for too long, and his physical condition may not be able to return to its peak immediately after waking up. At this time, it is very wise to choose to avoid the edge and plan to move later."

"But if Father is awake, why didn't you contact me?"

"Maybe I'm worried about being exposed, maybe I have other plans. In short, in this chaotic period, as long as the players don't find and attack me, I think the emperor will be fine."

Zhu Helin thought about it, felt that what he said was reasonable, and his expression gradually softened.

"From this point of view, Shen Qi didn't wholeheartedly rush to join the enemy." Su Yan continued to plead softly, "I know that doing so is against the law of the country and harmful to the overall situation, but please see it for the sake of our friendship... Su Yan Qinghe never asks for your favor in vain, just this once, the young master will make an exception for me and let Shen Qi go, okay?"

Jing Hong chased her eyes with a strange look, as if she wanted to say something, but she gave up after thinking about it, and concentrated on sending her true energy to sort out the meridians for her adults.

Zhu Helin wanted to shake his head subconsciously, and even wanted to ask Su Yan—do you know the consequences of doing so? !Shen Qi has been operating in Jinyiwei for many years, and his influence may have infiltrated the various guards. His identity as a traitor is not revealed, and he is not wanted in the government's list. Those unknown Jinyiwei's Tiqi and spies will still be used by him.In this way, how much power will be sent to the players, and how much trouble and loss will be caused to the court, haven't you thought about it?

Regardless of the young emperor's ashen complexion, Su Yan raised his hand to cover the back of the other's hand, and begged, "If my master doesn't agree, my illness will never recover."

Zhu Helin hesitated and struggled in every possible way, but finally couldn't bear his grief, nodded reluctantly and said: "I promise you, I won't post anything, and I will hunt you down secretly. But this is only one time. If he commits crimes later, I will never forgive him!"

Jing Hongzui sighed silently.

Su Yan begged for the emperor's favor, but he didn't show any joy. On the contrary, his eyes sank sharply and sternly.

Zhu Helin suddenly felt flustered.

Su Yan tried his best to sit up, with sweat oozing from his forehead, he took a breath and said, "My lord, do you know why the emperor gave me that cup of 'poisoned wine' in front of all the officials when he was in front of the bed?"

Without waiting for Zhu Helin's reaction, he continued: "Because the emperor wants to prove to the courtiers that this Su Yan is loyal enough, even if he is the prince's friend and hero, even if the prince has a deep bond with him, he will not rely on his heir Jun's friendship is good at monopolizing power and controlling the holy will.

"Although I dare not pretend to be loyal, at least I have some confidence in myself. I believe that I share the same aspirations with the young master, that is, the political clarity, the prosperity of the country and the people's safety; I believe that no matter how deep your personal relationship is, in the face of big right and wrong, you will not Abandon the public for private reasons."

"But at this moment, with just a few words of pleading, I completely shattered my confidence! Young Master... No, Your Majesty," Su Yan's eyes were wet and sour, and a sense of sadness filled his chest.He threw off the quilt abruptly, only wearing obscene clothes, and made a big salute on the couch, "The emperor loves my humble minister so much, so that he doesn't even care about the overall situation in order to prevent the minister from being sad and sick! People, but you still have to agree to your minister’s unreasonable request! Dare to ask the emperor, did the emperor give the wrong glass of fake poisoned wine? You should give the real glass!"

Zhu Helin's palms were cold when he heard it, and he was ashamed at first, and then he flew into a rage: "Su Qinghe, you——you actually played tricks on me!"

He slapped the edge of the bed hard, got up and pointed at Su Yan, gnashing his teeth: "You test me! You trap me! You have learned the tricks of my father! What do you want to prove, huh? Prove that I love you Is the affection all wrong, will it only harm the country and the people? Or prove that I have no principles, disregard the overall situation, and am a fatuous emperor who will be carried away by personal affairs?"

Su Yan shook his head slowly, and said with difficulty: "It proves that my self-conceived distinction between public and private, and my self-conceived love and friendship, are simply vulnerable.

"I used to be so self-confident, handling cases, revolutionizing politics, turning the tide in times of crisis, and fighting with officials in the court. When I became the head of the cabinet, I was humble about my age and seniority, but I thought I was standing on the shoulders of giants in my heart. , thinking that with his own ability and reason, he would not fail this important task.

"But after last night, I suddenly discovered that this is not the case... I can neither stick to the right path, knowing that running a tiger back to the mountain will harm the people, but still let Shen Qi go for personal reasons; and I can't maintain reason and make decisions about this country The influence of the author has reached the point where one word can overturn it.

"I'm worried, I'm worried that this is just the beginning. I will make more wrong decisions in the future, and the emperor will accept them all. Even if it feels inappropriate, he will reluctantly accept it just to take care of my feelings.

"If I were just an ordinary citizen, this wrong decision would only harm me and my family at most; but as a cabinet minister, a wrong decision would harm a country and all people!"

Zhu Helin yelled at him: "What you want to prove is that you are not worthy to stand in the court and be in the cabinet? You, Su Qinghe, are not worthy, who is worthy? Those civil servants who form cliques to fight for profit, flagrant generals, or talkers who are full of guns? Thank you!" Is it muddy match? Jiang Qi Ai match? You just because of a Shen Qi who messed with you, because I was in a hurry and didn't think properly, you punish me like this!

"Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't be like King Zhou You, and I shouldn't be able to smile like a beacon, and I shouldn't be like Emperor Ming of Tang, who favors only one person. I will definitely be a ruthless emperor in the future, and the overall situation is the most important thing—— —Are you satisfied with this?!"

Su Yan leaned on the couch, neither moving nor making a sound.

"You always... think I'm not as good as my father..." Zhu Helin had tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and walked away.

Jing Hong chased up to help Su Yan, seeing him also had tears in her eyes.Su Yan choked up and said: "I didn't... I never thought of comparing them, let alone think that he is inferior to the emperor, I just..."

Jing Hongzhui stretched out her arms to hug Su Yan, and said: "I know, my lord is only blaming myself. You blamed Shen Qi's betrayal and Zhu Helin's immaturity on yourself. But my lord... Qinghe, you have done well enough Yes! Really, that's enough! The road was chosen by Shen Qi herself. Because she was blinded by hatred, she blamed herself and couldn't blame others. The little emperor is only 17 years old, and he has been enthroned for less than half a year. You can't expect him to be like an old man who has cultivated on the dragon chair for 20 years. The emperor is as light as weight."

Su Yan shook his head, wanted to explain a few words, but opened his mouth but vomited blood again.

Jing Hong hurriedly took out the medicine bottle and gave him another reassurance pill. She pressed her palm against his back and increased the input of zhenqi, while persuading him: "Don't think about it anymore. The injury of the seven emotions is not good for your recovery."

Su Yan swallowed the pill together with the blood foam, finally suppressed the feeling of vomiting, gasped and said, "Young master is fine, I know that he will not lose to the emperor in future achievements, but he just... relies on me too much. All I have He strongly accepts all theories; he firmly believes in all the strategies; he strongly supports all the decisions... Because of this, on his growth path as an emperor, I have changed from the biggest support to the biggest variable , in the future... it might become the biggest obstacle. I really don't want to go to the day when 'life is just like the first time I met' with him..." Just like with Shen Qi.

You have considered his history as an emperor, so what about his part as "Zhu Helin"?The young man is so passionate, is the adult really unmoved by it, or is he deliberately avoiding it because he is afraid of getting emotional again?In an instant, Jing Hongzhui had this question in his heart, but he held back and didn't ask.

Finally he said: "My lord, you should sleep well and don't think about anything."

Su Yan said in a low voice: "It's raining and windy, how can I sleep."

"If you can't sleep, can I help you find a sleeping hole?" Jing Hong couldn't wait for Su Yan to refuse again, she gently pushed him down on the pillow, pulled the quilt and wrapped it up again.

Su Yan said helplessly: "Don't tap the acupuncture points, I will just try to fall asleep."

Jing Hong chased off the coat that was stained with his freshly vomited blood, got into bed, and said, "Your Excellency is afraid of the cold, and it rained at night, someone needs to warm the bed to keep out the cold."

It's the end of May, where can the cold go?But being chased by Jing Hong and being hugged like this is indeed very reassuring, and the tense nerves have also relaxed a lot.Su Yan didn't refuse, and put his face on the shoulder of the personal guard, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After a long time, his breathing gradually slowed down.Just when Jing Hongzhui felt that he was about to fall asleep, Su Yan suddenly said dreamily, "Azhui...if I don't become an official, what will happen to you?"

Jing Hongzhui said calmly, "That's it."

"so?"

"Yes, I still sleep with my arms in my arms like this, and make pillows and Mrs. Tang for him. What's the difference if I'm an official or not?"

Su Yan's face moved in the hollow of his shoulder, and he reached out to wrap his arms around his waist.

"A chase..."

Jing Hongzhui pricked up her ears to hear the second half of the sentence, but Su Yan stopped talking and fell asleep with a persistent low-grade fever.
