After the rebirth, the emperor will never forget me

==========================

There was no reply from inside the hall for a long time, and the snow outside the hall hadn't melted yet, Lanxi Zhu just knelt on the ground with firm eyes.

He didn't know why Qi Heng didn't want to see him suddenly, but it was urgent, so he had to come to Qi Heng himself.

If the emperor does not see him, he will kneel here until Qi Heng is willing to see him.

After an unknown amount of time, a deep voice came from the hall:

"come in."

Lanxizhu's body trembled, and half of his legs kneeling on the ground were numb.He stood up holding his sword, and slowly stepped into the gate of Chenyang Palace.

"His Majesty……"

He walked step by step to Qi Heng's desk, his shoes and socks were soaked by the water melted from the snow, they were heavy and uncomfortable.

With a frosty face, Qi Heng stood up and approached him, then raised his chin, forcing him to look at him.

"Lanxi Zhu, you are so courageous."

Every word he uttered seemed to come out of his teeth, low and full of anger.

Lanxizhu's chin was pinched so painfully, but he just dared not speak out.He didn't know why Qi Heng was so rude to him all of a sudden, he was fine a few days ago.

"Are you going into the palace wearing this to demonstrate against me?"

Swords are not allowed to enter the Hall of Morning Sun. Qi Heng gave Lanxi Bamboo special privileges, but he has always followed the rules and never appeared in front of the imperial court with weapons.Qi Heng didn't summon him, but he entered the palace to invite him without authorization, and still dressed like this, in the eyes of others, wouldn't it be treason?

It's just that Lan Xizhu never thought about whether he would violate Qi Heng's taboo today. He only knew that if he didn't enter the palace to invite troops to go out, the northern border would be in danger at any time.

"Your Majesty, Beidi has already sent troops to attack Miyun, why has it not been summoned?"

This time, Lanxi Zhu's eyes even had a bit of questioning. "I don't intend to offend you, but the enemy has fallen, and I should fight. If I don't lead troops to go, I'm afraid that Miyun..."

He didn't continue talking, the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

The north of Saibei cannot live without Lanxi bamboo, just as the southwest cannot live without Lanxi Jing.If the huge Nanheng had been separated from the two generals of the Lan family, the enemy from the neighboring country would have survived for less than a month.

"Lanxi Zhu, do you really have no selfish intentions when you come to find me?"

Qi Heng unceremoniously let go of his chin, shook his sleeves, and sat back on the dragon chair.His face was gloomy, and the atmosphere around him became more oppressive.

Lanxi Zhu was startled when he heard this.

As expected, he was... worried about himself.An emperor is an emperor, and there will always be suspicion and suspicion.

He is Qi Heng, a person who abused himself in every possible way, a person who never believed in himself.Even though his Lan family was loyal, even though they never had two hearts, Qi Heng was always on guard against them.

Lanxizhu suddenly felt that his heart hurt so badly that he was about to be out of breath.

Suspicion is suspicion, suppression is suppression, but this matter is a major event that is related to the peril of the people in the South and North, how can it be delayed so easily?If he stayed in Hengdu for one more day, the people of Miyun would be in more danger.

"Your Majesty is suspicious of a humble minister?" Lanxizhu's relatives smiled, "If Lanxizhu has evil intentions, is disloyal to the country, and has done something wrong to Nanheng in Saibei, there is no need for Your Majesty, the Prime Minister Zuo will personally arrest the humble minister. It's over."

The Lan family's family style is so rigorous.

Qi Heng's fingers hanging in the air trembled slightly, and he moved his lips, but he still didn't answer.

He also didn't want to doubt Lanxi Zhu.

For the past two days, he has been bored in the Hall of Morning Sun. Apart from summoning Zi Shujue, he just practiced calligraphy to rest his mind.

Seeing Lan Xizhu's face now, and hearing what he said, it seemed as if he suddenly understood where the unhappiness and anger that had been stagnant in his heart for the past few days came from.

It turned out that he was not really angry that Lanxizhu would rebel, nor was he angry at Beidi and Xilan's provocation.

Qi Heng was just afraid, he was afraid that Lan Xizhu really wanted to turn against him, that he hated him from the inside out.

But obviously, he is the least qualified to be afraid.

What he left on Lanxizhu's body was a mark of humiliation besides the strong occupation.If he hated himself, it was a very reasonable thing, and it was useless for him to be afraid.

As an emperor, he should kill decisively and eradicate dissidents.But Qi Heng sometimes asks himself whether he has really done what an emperor should do.

No, no.

Even if Lanxizhu really had that thought, he still couldn't bear to kill him.

Qi Heng thought to himself, if that day really happened, he would lock Lanxi Bamboo in the imperial palace, in the Hall of Morning Sun, and tie him up so that he could never escape from his grasp.

Seeing that Qi Heng lowered his head and did not answer, Lan Xizhu pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty is worried that I will not come back after hiding in Saibei?"

Qi Heng raised his deep eyes, as if he was brewing some emotion.

"As long as your Majesty makes an edict, I will immediately reprimand you." There was hope in his eyes, as if he had taken a big step back, thinking that with such a promise, Qi Heng would no longer put himself under pressure in Hengdu.

Lanxizhu immediately knelt down on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed his head, and saluted: "Your Majesty, I would like to invite troops to fight against the enemy in Saibei, please allow your majesty."

Seeing him so stubborn, Qi Heng let out a long sigh, and parted his thin lips lightly:

"I... agree."

Counting the time, it was about the same time. If no one was sent over at this time, Miyun might not be able to last long.In fact, even if he doesn't come to beg himself today, he will send the edict for the expedition to Lan Mansion before evening.In any case, he will not let the grievances between him and Lanxizhu spread to the people below.

This sentence made Lanxi Zhu feel as if he had been pardoned, and his brows were instantly filled with ecstasy: "My minister thanked His Majesty."

Seeing him like this, the big rock in Qi Heng's heart also dropped a bit.

No matter what, he didn't want to believe that Lanxi Zhu would be treasonous.Even if he doesn't have himself in his heart, he still pretends to be the common people.

Water dripped from the Lanxi bamboo boots and knees, but was burned dry by the earth dragon after a while.

The snow turned into water, it must be uncomfortable to hang on the body, this person is also stubborn, actually kneeling obediently in the snow for a long time in this cold moon.

Qi Heng's heart softened slightly again.

He dragged the Lanxi bamboo up with his hands, and patted the ashes on his hands.

This time he was wrong, he shouldn't have vented his anger on Lanxizhu before the matter was found out.What Su Weichen said is right, for a person like him, it's strange that people like him.

"Is that why you came here today?"

Lanxi Zhu was flattered, he wanted to take back his hand, but was suddenly restrained by Qi Heng.

"Go here and take a trip, be kind and cherish yourself."

Qi Heng tried his best to keep his voice down, looking at Lanxi Zhu's white lips, feeling guilty in his heart.

Lan Xizhu didn't know what was going on in his mind, thinking that he had finally eased his doubts.

For some reason, like an angry child who was suddenly upheld justice, he felt joyful and felt a sense of grievance.The suspenseful depression that he had been suspicious of earlier dissipated a bit, his eyes shone with a crystal luster, and the tip of his nose became a little sore.

Lanxizhu felt that he was too hypocritical.

But he is such a person, if you treat him badly, he will not take this malice into his heart, if you care for him a little bit, he would like to return all the kindness.

"Your Majesty... also, take care."

Qi Heng nodded calmly and asked, "How many soldiers and horses do you want?"

"……fifty thousand."

This number is already the bottom line. Beidi has 20 soldiers and horses. If he can't get 15 soldiers in his hands, it will be very difficult and he will suffer heavy casualties.

As for victory or defeat, Lanxi Zhu didn't consider it. He had guarded Saibei for so many years, and he rarely lost a battle.

Even if the people of Beidi had planned for a long time this time, they were just a group of barbarians.He has more tactics than those barbarians. Under his leadership, Xuan Yuqi and Bei Rong Army have done a lot of things with less victory.

Qi Heng never questioned his ability, but he frowned after hearing this number.

According to Zi Shujue, there are only [-] soldiers left in Saibei.

"I'll add another [-] to you. Let's set off after counting."

Then he stopped talking and waved his hands to make people retreat.

Lanxi Zhu made a big salute, and then stepped back lightly.

The Hall of Chenyang was silent for a long while, and the sound of the ice cones melting and falling on the eaves could be vaguely heard.

"Zi Shu, am I too soft-hearted towards him?"

Qi Heng looked out of the window in a daze, his lips moved slightly twice.

It didn't last long before he had such a strong appearance, seeing Lanxi Zhu's resentful eyes and miserable smile, he broke down on his own.

At this time, Zi Shujue, who was wearing a white robe, came out from the screen. His steps were very light and graceful, making it hard to tell that there was a person hiding behind him.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty ask yourself the other way around, is he being too tough on him?"

Zi Shujue's voice was warm and clear, and these words made Qi Heng sober up for a moment.Before he could answer, Zi Shujue took advantage of the victory and chased after him again: "When does Your Majesty plan to become queen?"

Qi Heng's ebony-like pupils dilated slightly, and a look of dodge flashed across his handsome face.

It seemed like he hadn't thought about it for a long time. "I... don't know." Since Qin Tianjian had a lot of nonsense with him last time, he has put aside the matter of Li Hou.

The queen is dispensable to Qi Heng, but he doesn't know why he keeps leaving it there even under the pressure of his courtiers.

Maybe it's because...he already has his own heart.

Qi Heng let out a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and decided not to think about those things for the time being.

"Is there any progress in the matter you said before?"

Zi Shujue nodded and replied: "I have already found out that he has been very uneasy recently, and he is also the one who keeps in touch with His Royal Highness Zhao Wang frequently."

Qi Heng stared at the scroll spread out on the desk, and his tone was as calm as water:

"Xilan and the envoy are already waiting. The Nanheng Mission lacks an envoy, so let him go."

Since you are too free, find something to do.

This Hengdu is truly restless for a day.

"The humble minister... then went to draw up the decree." Zi Shujue bowed and said goodbye.
