The Prosperity of Jingdi Chronicle

Zuo Siming, the king of Fengcheng, is no stranger to the name Jing Ke, but this is the first time he has seen it.

If other people were in the position of King Fengcheng, they would be obediently nestled in a corner, living quietly, trying to minimize the possibility of their names appearing in the ears of the emperor, but this King Fengcheng was very close to him. They are different, he is very famous in Beijing, haunts Qinlou and Chu halls all year round, and associates with famous romantic talents, he seems to be unaware of his identity as a prisoner.

It was both unexpected and reasonable for Jing Ke to run into him here tonight.

"My surname is Wang, but I have a single name. I have admired the name of the prince for a long time. It is a blessing in my life to meet you today." Jing Ke is also a person who has experienced outside. Knowing the identity of the person in front of him, although he was a little surprised, On the face, he remained calm, and reported himself to his family in a loud voice.

Of course, he must have given a false name, otherwise the news of his entry and exit would reach the ears of the emperor or the commander, and both he and Wei Minwen, who brought him here, would be in big trouble.

"It's better to meet by chance. Since you and I are destined, why not sit down, Mr. Wang, to enjoy the breeze and bright moon, and taste this king's craftsmanship by the way." The smile on Zuo Siming's face became even brighter, and he extended his invitation.

"Your Majesty's kindness is hard to turn down. I'm sorry to interrupt you." Jing Ke was also a little curious about King Fengcheng, so she didn't refuse and sat in front of him.

A lot of things were scattered on the stone table, and water seemed to be boiling on the small stove next to it.Jing Ke was not good at tea ceremony, but he watched Fengcheng Wang fumbling around, and quickly made a cup of tea for him, which was very interesting.

This King of Fengcheng is obviously not a person who is difficult to live up to under the prestige, but he really has a little real talent in his stomach. He knows astronomy and geography, and he is familiar with three religions and nine streams. He even dabbles in some mysterious and mysterious things.

Although Jing Ke didn't believe in stargazing at night, he was still very interested in those weird stories.

"It's a pity, it's a pity", as the conversation deepened, Jing Ke kept responding, but he was sighing in his heart.

For an outstanding person like King Fengcheng, if he is a surrender, he will definitely be reused by his father. Unfortunately, he is a descendant, and it is because his father is open-minded that he can live to this day, and there will definitely be no other possibilities.

The two chatted for a while, as if they had met each other and hated being late, just chatting with each other sentence by sentence, the chat quickly forgot the time, until the servant of the Wei family came to find them, the two of them reluctantly said Don't.

On the carriage back, Jing Ke was still excited about what happened just now, so he talked about him with Wei Minwen.

"This King of Fengcheng is indeed a very interesting person." Although Wei Minwen is not a flirtatious talent, as a flirtatious dude, he will definitely have the chance to meet the King of Fengcheng. Speaking of King Fengcheng, he agreed with Jing Ke's evaluation, but after pondering for a moment, he added, "It's better for Your Highness to have less contact with him in the future. If there is any bad news, it will reach His Majesty's ears." , is not a good thing."

Generally speaking, a father is too strong and outstanding. Being his son is not an easy task. When this father was still the emperor, being his son was even more difficult.

Although Jing Ke has always been favored by the emperor, it is true stupidity to still do something that he knows will make the emperor unhappy. No matter how stupid he is, he will not be so stupid. Just showing off in front of a few people, he behaves differently in front of outsiders.

Hearing what Wei Minwen said at this time, he thought for a while, then nodded, and put the King of Fengcheng behind him, and never mentioned it again.

After Jing Ke left, Zuo Siming sat in the pavilion for a while, until the people around him urged him again and again, before he got up.

His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Sixth Prince, and the legendary Marquis of Yongning, the person he hates, he can't even touch the corner of his clothes, it's impossible to move a finger of him, but in this world, people can hurt people Yes, it is not just a knife, as long as it is used properly, it is definitely not difficult to hurt him to the heart.

Zuo Siming looked at the moonlight and smiled, but his smile was very cold, so cold that the bright moon in the sky seemed to feel the slightest chill, and quickly hid in the clouds.

"Is Gu just so annoying to you? Knowing that Gu is here waiting for you, but you have to drink flowers and wine outside, and you are not willing to come back until late at night?"

As soon as Zuo Siming entered, he heard a burst of complaints and a strong smell of alcohol.

He glanced at the table and found that it was in disarray and there were several jugs on it. He reckoned that this person drank a lot tonight, and after waiting for him in the middle of the night, he must have had a lot of anger in his heart. Now that he saw him, It was just a few verbal complaints, but it didn't explode, and it was well restrained.

When he thought of this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he asked lightly: "At this time, His Highness the Crown Prince is still in my residence, aren't you afraid that the Crown Princess will be sad?"

"Crown Princess? Siming, you know Gu's intentions, so why bother to say such words to make Gu angry?" Jing Qi opened her drunken eyes, looking at the wobbly figure in front of her, who he wanted to grab but didn't dare to reach out. , "Father wants to marry her alone, there is no way to do it alone, you know."

Jing Qi's affection for Zuo Siming suddenly improved during the year when he was a filial piety for the Empress Dowager. Unfortunately, after he passed the filial piety period and the emperor ordered him to marry the princess, Zuo Siming became indifferent to him.

In the past, he only had some vague feelings, and he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about other things, but after Zuo Siming became indifferent to him, he gradually understood his own thoughts.

It's a pity that Zuo Siming is very nice when he is nice to others, but when he hates him, he is extremely decisive, no matter how Jing Qi apologizes to please him, she still likes to talk to him and ignore him.

"Your Highness, do you know? Tonight I met a very interesting young man, but unfortunately this young man is very unfamiliar. I wonder if Your Highness can do me a little favor?"

Sure enough, Zuo Siming didn't take his words to heart at all, instead he talked about his encounter tonight.

Although Jing Ke is a young man, his face is not easy, but his body that has practiced martial arts all year round is there, and the royal aura cultivated since childhood is also contained in his speech and demeanor, plus Zuo Siming's eloquence, he can be praised to the fullest Even a dog's tail grass can be described as a flower by him, not to mention that Jing Ke is quite good, and he was soon described by him as an extremely likable young man.

Jing Qi became angry when he heard Zuo Siming speak highly of others in a very appreciative tone. Later, when he heard that the son was named Wang Mingke, he appeared with Wei Minwen and Wei Minshi, and he called them elder brothers Of course, he knew who this person was. In the end, the anger in his heart gradually became uncontrollable.

The gossip he heard from the palace people when he was young, about the entanglement between Jing Ke's mother and his mother, was a thorn in his heart, and it would hurt from time to time, but it was for the sake of filial piety that he reluctantly suppressed it. Later, Jing Ke won the emperor's favor, which made him feel like a thorn in his throat. He always had a sense of crisis that his own position was crumbling. He was afraid that Jing Ke would compete with him because of the emperor's favor; Even if he was a saint, he would not be able to bear it if he got to this point.

Zuo Siming saw the unpredictable expression on his face, his breathing gradually became heavier, and added the last firewood.

"I'm very interested in this son. If His Royal Highness is willing to help find him, Siming will be very grateful."

"Very interested, very good, you are very interested in him, so what about Gu, what do you always think of Gu?" Jing Qi grabbed Zuo Siming's wrist, dragged him into her arms, and asked him viciously.

Jing Qi is also a master who has been very proficient in bowing, riding and shooting since childhood. When he was angry, he used a lot of strength. Zuo Siming didn't seem to feel the pain in his wrist, and the smile on his face was still as soft as before.

"Aren't we friends? His Royal Highness has always been my best friend."

The smile on Zuo Siming's face was so obtrusive, and the words that came out of his mouth were so harsh, Jing Qi didn't want to see or listen, so she must use the fastest speed to shut him up.

Both of his hands were grabbing the opponent's wrist, obviously he was not free, but fortunately he still had a mouth, and soon the opponent could not speak a word.

The bright moon hiding in the clouds seems to have heard some strange sounds from the ground, and poked its head out of the clouds curiously. Unfortunately, the moonlight can only shine on a small area in front of the window. The scenery was so tightly covered that nothing could be seen except for the shaking.

"Your Highness, one day you will regret it." After an unknown amount of time, the shaking on the couch finally stopped.

Zuo Siming raised his sore arms and stroked the face of the person in front of him.Jing Qi's still-young face was covered with layers of hot sweat, and it felt warm to the touch, but his fingers were still cold.

"I won't regret it, never will." Jing Qi is still in that hateful bastard's body, feeling his warmth, and seeing that he is about to say something that makes him angry again, she kisses him and starts another A round of looting.

He was still young, his strength recovered quickly, and he was confident that he could make this bastard's mouth, and from now on he could only make sounds he liked to hear.

He likes him and will make him happy, that night, he thought so, full of expectations for the future, but he didn't know that the person he liked never expected happiness, what he wanted was always destruction .

The sound inside the house gradually died down, but someone outside the house let out a low sigh.

Ximu stood in the yard, feeling the chill of the weather getting colder, but he couldn't do anything except tighten his clothes. His master was about to step into the abyss, but he couldn't stop it, and he couldn't stop it. .

Wei Minwen's marriage was held in the late summer of Hongqing's 15th year, so I won't go into details about the excitement during that period.

After he got married, what Jing Ke had a vague premonition finally happened.The emperor granted him the title of Prince Rui, gave him a house for him to open his teeth and build a mansion, and planned to let him move out of the Marquis' mansion after the new year. Even his marriage was mentioned by the emperor.

The sixth prince was so favored by the emperor when he was underage, he could be regarded as the emperor's most beloved prince.

But the real reason, I am afraid only the emperor himself knows best.Even Wei Yan was used by the emperor, "When children grow up, they should let go of their hands and let them go for a while. Stay by your side and prepare everything for them. How can they grow up?" No, it never occurred to the emperor that little inhumane thought in his heart.

Once the prince leaves the palace to open the palace, he cannot enter the palace casually without the emperor's order. Besides, as long as he chooses a princess for Jing Ke and helps him get married, Jing Ke will be considered an adult. Thick-skinned, pretending to be cute and childish in front of Wei Yan.

The emperor was very satisfied that he could think of such a good way to send Jing Ke away, and he didn't realize that it was too much for him to bully his son so much.

Anyway, if he bullied, he bullied, as long as Wei Yan didn't know that he was bullying Jing Ke, there would be no trouble at all.

If Wei Yan finds out about this matter, he will inevitably give him a long-winded meal, but it is not the first time Jing Li has done this kind of thing of expressing favor and secretly bullying others, and he has been familiar with it for a long time. Yes, how could he know, of course he was confident in doing it.

But he didn't expect that Jing Ke always used her young age as an excuse to refuse to get married.

As early as the emperor revealed his intention to choose a concubine for Jing Ke, Jing Ke had discussed this matter with everyone around him.

Apart from Xiao Zhenting, he has recruited some people around him these years, he lives in the Hou's mansion, and the people around him naturally have other residences in Beijing.Xiao Zhenting is very optimistic about Jing Ke, he will not be stingy with all kinds of things, and giving away a house or something is just a trivial matter.

Jing Ke's mother and concubine, except for a name left in the world, no one knows any news about her, so that Jing Ke has no support from the mother's family at all. In this case, the power of the wife's family will naturally change. It's very important, as long as Jing Ke can marry a good wife, his power will increase rapidly.

After discussing with everyone, Xiao Zhenting suggested to Jing Ke that this marriage should be postponed.Because they hope that Jing Ke can marry the Wei family, but the Wei family currently does not have a lady of the right age to be the princess, unless Jing Ke can wait for a few years, and wait until Wei Minxuan grows up, otherwise she will miss the opportunity to marry the Wei family Chance.

"Wei Minxuan? She's still so young, is there no other candidate? Maybe she must be the Wei family?" Although Jing Ke often played with Wei Minxuan, the idea of ​​marrying such a young girl was overwhelming. He has never had it before, and when everyone said that, he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

"Your Highness, although the Grand Commander loves you very much, and the prince has always treated you as a younger brother, they will never go against His Majesty's wishes for you." Xiao Zhenting obviously meant something.

"What do you want to say?"

"Everyone knows that you are His Majesty's most beloved prince, but apart from love, does Your Majesty think that His Majesty has considered anything else?"

Xiao Zhenting's words made Jing Ke fall silent.

The Sacred Heart cannot be speculated, but if he wants to get what he wants, how can he not speculate?

"The Wei family has always regarded themselves as His Majesty's pure ministers, and they have treated the princes impartially for many years. However, His Highness is so close to the Wei family, and the Wei family has never shy away from it. Doesn't Your Highness find it strange?" Xiao Zhenting Started to ask questions.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"If someone doesn't know Commander Wei, I'm afraid they will have another idea, but based on His Highness' understanding of Commander Wei, what do you think the truth will be?"

Having said this, Jing Ke finally understood.

As a great commander, it is impossible to please the future king in advance. He does not avoid it because there is no need to avoid it. In other words, the emperor has never considered other things.

He took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down the inexplicable emotions in his heart.

"I know it's not easy, and I didn't expect it to be possible with just a little pampering from my father. Since my father has such thoughts in mind, so what if I marry the Wei family?" He said it easily , but very unwilling in my heart.

As long as the emperor is willing to give him a chance, he thinks that he will not be inferior to his brothers, but the emperor has always been stingy in giving him opportunities.

"The Commander of Wei will age, and His Majesty will also age. As long as His Highness can use blood to draw the relationship closer, even if the Wei family is still impartial, His Majesty will have other considerations at that time. "

No matter how good Jing Ke is, he ranks last among the brothers, which means that the emperor will consider him last. It is only natural to establish a son and an elder, and to establish love when a child is established. There are many emperors in history who want to establish love. , but not everyone succeeds.

Many emperors and courtiers pinched and pinched for a long time, but still could not establish love. After all, the power of orthodoxy is very strong, and it is not that the emperor can do whatever he wants, especially when the emperor is not strong enough.

He is strong enough today, as long as he is willing to fight with the courtiers a few times, he will definitely be able to do what he wants to do, but so far, he has no idea of ​​Li Ai, otherwise the commander of Wei and the Wei family will be in danger. It won't be such an outspoken approach today.

Commander Wei and the Wei family are the emperor's most trusted courtiers. They dare to have their own careful thoughts on the matter of setting up the crown prince, making the emperor doubt his family's loyalty to the emperor, which is the real way to death.The Wei family are all smart people, so naturally they wouldn't do such a self-defeating thing, so what they are doing now is a good example of the problem.

That being the case, what Xiao Zhenting wants to bet now is the emperor's affection.

Now there is no closeness between the princes and the Wei family, at least on the surface, the intimacy between Jing Ke and the Wei family is nothing in the eyes of the emperor.In the eyes of the emperor, the kinship between the Tian family and the children of the royal family is probably the same thing. What is the intimacy between Jing Ke and the Wei family?

But one day, when the emperor gets old, and the princes are actually close to the Wei family, can he really ignore other things?
