Reincarnation of the powerful minister

"The important thing you said is to bring me to see the cats?" Su Yan looked down at the three little milk cats that were circling around his trouser legs, all of them were raccoons.There is also a snow-white one, which is smaller and has a ball of felt on the top of his boot.

The palace servants waited on the emperor to change clothes behind the curtain, which was made of light yellow silk, vaguely outlining the tall and straight figure of the young man with broad shoulders and long legs.Zhu Helin's voice came from behind the tent: "Didn't you recognize me? This is our grandson and granddaughter."

Su Yan was taken aback, and bent down to pick up the little milk cat on the boot, looking at its snow-white long fur and one golden and one blue round pupil of different colors. "Is this a hybrid of Pear Blossom and Begonia? Why are the other three all flowers, and only this one is pure white? Well, the round face and round eyes are like a raccoon cat, and the body and coat color are like a Persian cat... Ah, I remembered, This is called a lion cat! A lion cat with mandarin duck eyes is quite expensive, a purebred one can sell for [-]..."

"What are you selling! Who dares to sell my granddaughter!" Zhu Helin shouted, opened the curtain and walked out.

Su Yan knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and smiled and sneered: "Whoever said that it will be sold, the emperor heard it wrong. I mean that next time I will buy a bowl of meat to feed her."

He turned around holding the little lion cat, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Zhu Helin clearly.

Zhu Helin had already taken off the ocher-yellow regiment dragon gown and black gauze winged crown worn at the court meeting, and put on a light and heroic garnet red woven golden dragon pattern, with jade hooks around his waist, and a fluffy tartar hat on his head, red gold. The ruby-studded hat beads and cross-shaped hat flowers are not traditional styles in the Central Plains, making this small leather hat quite a bit of northern style.

Su Yan remembered that for a period of time—about the time when he was repeatedly rejected, Zhu Helin always imitated Zhu Jinkui consciously, such as dressing, sitting posture, speaking tone, and looking at him.Su Yan knew that this contained not only the remembrance and respect for his father, but also the strong desire to prove himself and compete for his attention.

Su Yan felt sad and distressed about this, and made it clear: I never thought of turning you into your royal father.I like you more the way you really are than who you look like.

As a result, Zhu Helin had an epiphany: If he only followed in the footsteps of his father, then he would never be able to open up his own world.Everyone's growth is their own pain, and it cannot be realized by relying on others or imitating others.

He began to truly walk out of his father's protection from his heart.Emperor Jinglong's shadow gradually faded away from him.He has grown rapidly in terms of the means of imperial servants and the strategy of governing the country, and he has developed his own style of governance, which is ruffian, tough, and unconstrained, and is perfectly integrated with the emperor's air.

He is Qinghe Emperor Zhu Helin.

Su Yan hugged the lion cat and stared blankly at the young man in front of him.

Zhu Helin has changed a lot from the once flying and arrogant little prince to the emperor who rules the world now, but the heart of a child that was completely shown to him, the phrase "Qinghe, you and I agree here, we will never lose each other" The promise never changed.

The first time I met Zhu Helin was in February 15th of Jinglong, in front of the gate of the Chunwei venue, five years ago.In the past five years, he has permeated and influenced Zhu Helin like an endless stream of water, and why doesn't Zhu Helin also permeate and influence him?

Perhaps in another ten or fifty years, when the aged emperor and his aged courtiers looked at each other across the air, they would still have the same look in their eyes and the same mood they have today.Then who can say that this is not a real life-and-death agreement, and grow old together?

"...Why, I'm so heroic, am I dumbfounded?" Zhu Helin teased with a smile.

Su Yan woke up like a dream, suppressed the inexplicable confusion, and snorted casually: "What's so interesting! Besides, haven't you gotten tired of watching it for five years?"

This last sentence, I don't know whether to ask myself or the other party.

The palace people have already withdrawn from the inner hall knowingly.Only the ignorant and daring Lihua jumped over from the corner, followed by the temperless Haitang, and the two cats took one bite at a time, snatching away the children who were having fun on the ground.

There was only one little lion cat left, held in Su Yan's palm, out of Lihua's reach, meowing and throwing himself at Su Yan's thigh.He bit Haitang ferociously, as if urging him to help get Yaomeier back.

So Haitang also swept Su Yan's legs with her big long-haired tail.Su Yan squatted down and put the little lion and cat on the ground. Lihua took her daughter and ran away, leaving her husband alone.

Haitang licked Su Yan's hand affectionately.It feels rough, moist and warm in the palm of your hand.Someone in my ear said, "You don't need to ask for it. I'll give you a well-trained Xiyi cat. It has long hair and blue eyes, and its whole body is snow-white. It's very beautiful."

Find a suitable opportunity and give Shen Qi a precious gift in return, he thought at the time.

...Is there still a chance to give back the gift that was delayed due to busy work?Su Yan suddenly felt a dull pain in his body, like layers of invisible iron shackles pressing on his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

He swayed back and fell to the ground.Haitang let out a series of purrs, like a gentle farewell, and then chased his wife and children out of the hall.

Ever since the memory was restored, some things that he had forced himself not to recall, were licked by Haitang at this moment, and suddenly came up from the depths of his mind.

"You want to marry Altan?"

"Do you want to, what does it matter to you? Who are you?"

"That's right, who am I, who am I to ask such a question?"

"May I ask who you are, how did you know the patterns on the paper?"

"Someone used his finger instead of a pen to draw on the palm of my hand."

"Does that person look a bit like me?"

"...It's very similar, but it's not after all."

"Did he say anything to you... that is not accepted by the world?"

"Have."

"Odd and even don't change—"

"My heart is still the same as your heart."

How ridiculous it was then, how heart-piercing it is now.It is clear that the sentences fit together, but they are not synonymous after all, very much like them who eventually parted ways.

"...I'm not a good person. Didn't Qinghe come to a conclusion about this long ago? The journey to Daming is extremely difficult, so there's no reason to follow this gangster out of anger with me. Qinghe has always been a smart person and knows how to make the best use of everything." The truth is, even if I make you feel disgusted again now, it’s okay to use it when needed.”

Abandoning him, leaving behind his ideals and the country that helped her wholeheartedly, when they meet again, she can still casually say such miserable words, it's simply... too Shen Qi!

When Zhu Helin came over and pulled Suyan to stand up, he saw that his face was pale, and even his lips seemed to have lost all blood, so he couldn't help being startled, he quickly picked him up, put him on the bed, and then went to pass on to the imperial physician.

Su Yan grabbed Zhu Helin's wrist: "No need, occasionally the blood does not return to the meridian, and it will be smooth in a while. Just pour me a cup of hot tea."

Zhu Helin saw that he insisted on refusing to call the imperial physician, so he had to order the palace servants to bring in a cup of hot jujube and ginger tea, and sat on the side of the couch to feed him to drink.

Su Yan drank the hot ginger tea slowly, let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's all right."

Zhu Helin saw that his face was gradually returning to color, but he was still worried, and wanted to persuade him to agree to let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse of peace.Su Yan changed the subject, got up and went to bed, and asked: "I was summoned to Fengxian Hall alone, but because of Altan's letter of credence? The emperor must have read it, what do you think?"

"To be honest, I don't believe that an ambitious enemy chieftain who has fought against me a lot will suddenly have the idea of ​​​​peace talks. There must be a conspiracy in it. I plan to ignore him, be on guard, and wait and see what happens."

Su Yan almost blurted out: Altan really wants to find a way to form an alliance with Daming for mutual benefit. He Lin, why don't you give both parties this chance, at least try it first?

But Zhu Helin immediately said, "I have already found out that the chess player and Altan secretly colluded, and Mr. He once brought generous gifts to bribe him", dispelling his persuasion.

Su Yan realized that if he wanted to convince Zhu Helin of Altan's sincerity, he had to explain in detail how he offered advice to Beimo and the process of persuading Altan step by step.And there are a lot of details in this process that he can't tell. Even if he picks and chooses to talk about it, the astute Zhu Helin will probably notice the clues.

Do you want to tell Zhu Helin: In the past, you suspected that I slept with Altan, it was a myth—but now it is true.

"I am the emperor. There is nothing in the world that I can't get, and there is no one I can't kill. If your wild man in the northern desert dares to provoke you again, you will start a war! I will personally lead my troops to kill him." With the heads of his group of barbarians, he piled up 'Jingguan' at the gate of the imperial city!"

The words are still in my ears.Su Yan shuddered, and he couldn't help but see the scene of Emperor Daming's personal conquest and Beimo Sacred Khan's soldiers, the two armies confronting each other, shouting at each other... Absolutely no!

Zhu Helin has deep hostility towards Beimo and Altan. It seems that he has to find another suitable time to carefully analyze the pros and cons of the current relationship between the two countries and the alliance, so that the young emperor can accept it more.

Right now, Su Yan can only follow Zhu Helin's words and say: "Yes, there is no harm in being cautious. You might as well wait and see. If Altan is sincerely interested in peace talks, he should write the letter of credence again. However, if we don't reply, it seems that If you lose the etiquette of a great country, why not reply with some ambiguity and see how the other party responds? Go fishing?"

When he said this, Zhu Helin thought it was reasonable, and said: "It is true that we are not barbarians, and etiquette cannot be dismissed, and this reply letter can not only further inquire about Altan's attitude, but also catch a fish to see if there is really a chess player behind him This big fish. Later, I will ask someone to draft an insignificant text, and send a messenger to Beimo. However, I heard that Altan does not live in a fixed royal court, where should I send this letter?"

Su Yan really didn't know whether Altan had returned to Qile and Lin, or lived in a tent in the vast wilderness. After thinking about it, he said, "It's better to leave it to the King of Yu. He will find a way to send the reply to him." To Altan. This is the quickest and most convenient way."

The two roughly agreed on the follow-up disposal of the matter.

Zhu Helin still had the idea of ​​calling the imperial physician, but Su Yan's heart was not limited to the Guoshu.

As for the other concern, he stopped insinuating and asked directly: "In the East Market on Lantern Festival night, through the broken lanterns on fire, is the person I saw the emperor? You said to send someone to investigate secretly, Is there any result?"
