Chapter 96: transition

The young emperor, who was standing close to him, looked a little heroic from the back, but when he turned to look at the front face, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, showing a little indulgence.

Sitting across from him on the chessboard was a monk with a square face.

It's just that this monk doesn't look like a monk, there is not much kindness between his brows and eyes, and he is also very burly, with a pair of upside-down triangle eyes.

This is the current imperial teacher, monk Yuanji.

Xiao Yuan knew that Shen Lang was able to successfully ascend the throne four years ago, and this monk seemed to have contributed a lot. Although he did not have as much credit as Xie Wei, he was extremely trusted by the emperor. In addition, the empress dowager favored Buddhism, so he sealed a temple for him. , He also named him the national teacher of this dynasty.

In comparison, although Xie Wei is young, a prince with a young master looks a bit shabby in comparison.

Many people in the government and the opposition also compared this monk with Xie Wei.

How Xie Wei didn't know, but if this monk can succeed, he must be extremely capable.

Xiao Yuan didn't dare to be sloppy, and after entering the hall, he reported everything he had encountered in the Yongyi Hou's Mansion, but he was a little jealous when his words related to Xie Wei, and he was afraid that what he said would be reversed. Let Xie Wei show his face in front of the emperor, so he didn't mention it at all.

After the end, he asked: "My lord, they are so bold, how should we deal with it?"

Shen Lang held a chess piece between his fingers, but his long and narrow eyes, which looked like Shen Lang's, instantly darkened. In this dimly lit hall, they looked even more frightening. on Xiao Yuan.

After all, although he is an emperor, he should call Xiao Yuan "uncle".

However, this uncle works...

There is no difference between being an emperor and being in prison. The power seems to be huge, but one must also guard against the public opinion of the world. At this time, "knife" becomes extremely important. All the dirty and smelly things have to be done by this group of people, and I really have to sit on the top, so that the mud doesn't get on my body!

Otherwise, what are you doing to support your confidants?

In other words, if you are a confidant, you have to do what your confidant should do! If the confidant in the middle also wants to be a "good person" and doesn't want to cause trouble, pick himself clean in this kind of thing...

It's just that the imperial decree missed a seal, and this uncle came back to the palace unexpectedly!

Wouldn't he tell the world this time that he was the one who insisted on attacking the Hou's mansion?

And this is obviously also afraid of taking responsibility in this matter.

What a waste!

Shen Lang wanted to explode immediately, but after thinking about it, he finally suppressed it because of the empress dowager's side, and just called Wang Xinyi with a cold face: "Don't ask the old man Chu Xiyi to come into the palace when he is recovering from illness, take your uncle. The Zhongshu Province took the seal and stamped it first. The rebellious officials and thieves of the Yongyihou Mansion must not be spared lightly, and they will all be thrown into prison first! Anyone who violates the order will be killed!"

Xiao Yuan immediately said loudly: "Yes!"

Although he looked at Shen Lang with a bad face, he only thought that Shen Lang was secretly annoyed at the resistance of the Yongyi Hou Mansion. He never thought that Shen Lang was really dissatisfied with him and the Xiao family, and he never thought that Xie Weifang would persuade him. Where is the real intention, so I am still a little excited.

After saluting, he and Wang Xinyi went to get the seal first.

According to Dagan's regulations, Chu Xiyi had to nod his head to do the sealing. The available seals were all in the palace, so the seals were also placed in the palace.

Forcibly taking the seal, not everyone is Zhang Zhe, or if they feel something wrong in their hearts, no one dares to speak up.

What's more, Chu Xiyi is not here yet?

Xiao Yuan stamped the imperial decree and left, but Shen Lang in the hall suddenly overturned the chessboard, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course Xiao is happy to attack the Yongyi Hou's mansion, but this appearance is also a secret defense I will use this as an excuse to attack them in the future!"

The emperor was naturally right.

Even if the great seal was not stamped, it can be said that he was extremely angry for a while. But if Xiao Yuan already knew that the great seal of Zhongshu Province was not sealed, and he wanted to follow the imperial decree, and even kill the Yongyi Houfu, then Xiao Yuan would attract criticism, and this matter would become a trigger in the future.

As long as Shen Lang thinks about it, Xiao Shi can be killed!

Monk Yuanji sat opposite him, saw the chessboard fell to the ground, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the ground, he didn't panic at all, put one hand on his chest, and just laughed: "Is it true that the Holy Majesty has no such intention?"

Shen Lang then turned his eyes to look at him, and it slowly faded away.

He got up, walked around, and stood at the gate of the palace. Looking at the palace gates under the white jade steps, he said with a cold smile: "It's true, I don't blame them for being vigilant. The Yongyi Hou's mansion has been removed, and the next one is Xiao Shi." .The only royal family in the world is outstanding, what two great families!"

Worship ancestors, add crowns, and take characters.

Once the etiquette was completed, a crowning ceremony also came to an end.

The Yan family, headed by Yan Mu, offered gold, silver, calligraphy, ink, etc. to Xie Wei as thanks, and made Yan Lin perform three prostrations.

At the end of the ceremony, Yan Lin also bowed to everyone in the silent hall, saying: "Today, all the adults and old friends who are in distress are here to send charcoal in the snow. Yan Hui will always remember this feeling in his heart!"

The original boy can be called a real man.

Everyone knew that today's misfortune might not be good, they all sighed in their hearts and returned the gift one after another.

Xie Wei watched from the side, but was a little lost in thought.

The civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty probably felt this way—

The emperor obeyed his young teacher.

But in fact it's not the case, it's just because every word he said can hit Shen Lang's heart, and he didn't say those words that didn't fit his heart. This is what makes people have this illusion.

After having this illusion, no one in the Manchu Dynasty would want to offend him.

Including Xiao Yuan.

But he can rely on his understanding of the emperor to calculate other people: Xiao Yuan is firstly the emperor's uncle, and secondly, he is from a wealthy Xiao family.

But it is also because of his special position that the position of the young master has no real power. Compared with the inconspicuous national teacher, Monk Yuanji, he is obviously inferior, but once he has real power, he will attract people. fear.

Without real power, some things are beyond our power.

What's more, the power mobilized by instinct is also constrained by the heavenly religion behind it...

Tongzhou camp mutiny!

He had already sent people to set up defenses outside the gates of various cities in Tongzhou to intercept them, and no one would be shot or killed. The people in the military camp did not know the news, so where did the "mutiny" come from!

A ferocious air crept up secretly.

There was another commotion outside, it was Xiao Yuan who finally came back with the sealed imperial decree.

This time no one can say anything.

Although some people think that this is too fast and too easy, but the seals are all there, and this kind of guesswork can't be true or false. If you speak for the Hou Mansion again, you may not only burn yourself but also harm the Hou Mansion, so they all kept silent. .

This made Xiao Yuan feel as if he had punched cotton.

He ordered arrest in a vicious voice.

The guards of the Yongyihou's Mansion all looked at Yan Mu, Yan Mu only waved his hand, signaling that they don't need to resist, and let the chains and shackles bind everyone in the Hou's Mansion.

However, when two soldiers came up with shackles and were about to jam Yan Mu's neck, Zhang Zhe, who was standing not far away, frowned slightly, and said flatly: "Punishment is not a punishment. Go to the doctor."

Xiao Yuan's nose was crooked with anger.

The two soldiers were dumbfounded and looked at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan planned in his heart to make this Zhang look good in the future, but at this moment he could only vent his anger on others, so he yelled: "Didn't you hear?! You can't punish a doctor, just arrest this old man! His brain is Is there something wrong?!"

The two soldiers were inexplicably scolded and humiliated, so they had no choice but to remove their shackles.

Yan Mu once again looked at the unknown head of the Ministry of Punishment's Cleaning Department, finally couldn't help but smiled at Zhang Zhe, and walked straight out of the hall, following other people in the mansion.

Yan Lin was a little behind.

When he walked past Jiang Xuening, his heart was full of surges, but he still couldn't hold it back.

Gossip about his ancestors!

At this moment, he just wanted to express his heart!

Unexpectedly, under the eyes of everyone, he stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, hugged her vigorously, then blinked and said, "Let's go, Second Miss Jiang, put the sword away for me."

Jiang Xuening was stunned.

However, before she could react, Yan Lin had already stepped out the door.

The originally lively Hou Mansion suddenly became desolate and desolate.

A moment ago, the crowning ceremony was going on, and the hall was full of guests, but now the cups and plates are messed up, and the fate is unpredictable!

God.

Why be so cruel to her teenager?

Jiang Xuening thought, anyway, she doesn't plan to stay in the capital in the future, so just hug her, she doesn't care about her reputation.

If anyone really likes her in the future, will he mind if this fails?

Thinking of the past and the future for a while, his expression became melancholy. He raised his head inadvertently, and met a pair of cold eyes.

Zhang Zhe has been looking at her for a long time without knowing it.

He didn't realize it until she looked up, too.

She wanted to be a queen like that. She had worked so hard in her previous life, and after she was reborn, she already knew who was the ultimate winner. Now that things have turned around, General Yan will no longer walk on the same path as in her previous life. , and still have deep affection for her, probably comforted, right?

But he was very happy.

Before I came to this muddy water, I understood it; but now that I'm done, instead...

He has no deep friendship with the adults here.

Seeing that Xiao Yuan and a group of soldiers were already "inviting" everyone to leave in preparation for the subsequent search of the Hou's mansion, Zhang Zhe finally raised his head, looked at the snow that was growing like a goose feather outside, and did not say hello to anyone, and turned around. Go outside.

At that moment, Jiang Xuening actually thought of Zhang Zhe from the previous life.

This man loves rain.

But there is a word "Snow" in her name and surname, so when she just found out that there was such a person in the last life, she happened to meet him when she went to Qianqing Palace in winter, so she asked him domineeringly: "Master Zhang, since You like the rain so much, and when it snows like this, you still have to go with me, don't you hate me?"

At that time Zhang Zhe did not answer.

But Jiang Xuening acquiesced that he was annoying.

Later, the Tianjiao rebels assassinated the emperor, and she suffered a lot. When she and Zhang Zhe were hiding under the thatched hut, it was raining outside, so she asked him again: "Master Zhang likes rain so much, but now he is under the same roof with me." Look at the rain, come to think of it, you know that there is a word 'snow' in my name, it must be annoying, right?"

Zhang Zhe didn't speak either.

Jiang Xuening was also the same as the last time she asked, she acquiesced that he was annoying.

But after waiting for a long time, when she was looking at the falling rain curtain outside, she heard a voice beside her, saying, "No."

Nothing?

I don't like watching the rain that much, I don't know if there is a word "Snow" in her name, or...

Not so annoying?

At that moment, she felt a rare uneasiness, her slightly hot heart was beating alive in her chest, she really wanted to go back and check if it was his answer, she really wanted to ask again, is it not so hate me?

But she was still holding the golden step shake that she had taken off her head not long ago.

The phoenix spits out tassels, shining brightly.

At that moment, her eyes were pierced deeply, so she realized: she is a queen, once she really crosses a certain line, what is waiting for her, what is waiting for Zhang Zhe, will be doomed.

She was frightened and cowardly.

She didn't dare to ask further questions.

It rained for a long time that day, but Jiang Xuening hoped for the first time that it would last a lifetime, in that mountain, outside that hut, and it would never end.

The guests finally dispersed.

Yan Lin said, Miss Jiang Er, put away the sword for me.

So before leaving, Jiang Xuening put the sword he brought back into the sword case, and when he got it, he felt that the sword was a little heavier, but the cold light on it reflected the misery of the world.

Someone came from the palace and took Shen Zhiyi away first.

Shen Zhiyi was too lazy to talk too much, and went on her own.

Xiao Shu walked a little behind, but before leaving, she looked at Jiang Xuening and said with a cold smile: "I never saw that the second girl Jiang has such a great ability when she is in danger."

Jiang Xuening said indifferently: "If I wasn't in danger, I wouldn't know I have such a great ability."

Yao Xi and Chen Shuyi both stood beside Xiao Shu, looking at her mockingly.

Xiao Shu walked away with a flick of her sleeves.

The two of them followed suit.

When Zhou Baoying left, she looked at Jiang Xuening who looked worried and wanted to say something to Jiang Xuening, but after Chen Shuyi and the others walked over, they turned around and called her, so she had no choice but to shut up and follow.

There is enough snow in winter.

In a blink of an eye, the pavilions, corridors and gables were all covered in white.

When Jiang Xuening came out, she stood in Yongyi Hou's mansion and looked back, but saw that the sky was gloomy, and the dark clouds shrouded it into a haze, but perhaps her mood today was different from her previous life, and she actually felt that there seemed to be a small gap on the edge of the dark cloud. The sky shines through, and the snow will eventually clear.

Xie Wei was still behind Jiang Xuening.

While she was watching, he came through the door.

The two looked at each other.

Jiang Xuening was silent and didn't know what to say.

Xie Wei looked at the white street outside, the carriages going inside left clear ruts on it, but it was covered by heavy snow after a while.

When he walked in front of Jiang Xuening and was about to go back home, he actually didn't think about anything.

Even numb.

However, after walking out, her hands that were folded in front of her just now appeared in her mind, and she finally remembered something, stopped, and looked back a little tiredly: "Come here."

Before Jiang Xuening could react to the point that "Xie Wei actually took care of her", she was stunned, and subconsciously said: "I want to go back to the palace."

Xie Wei looked at her.

Jiang Xuening was shocked abruptly, and quickly followed her up.

Xie's Mansion is next to Yongyi Hou's Mansion, separated by a wall, it is not far away.

Xie Wei walked in front, Jiang Xuening could not see his expression, only heard him ask: "Do you still like Zhang Zhe?"

Jiang Xuening then remembered the look Zhang Zhe had looked at him earlier.

She opened her mouth, lowered her head, and said slowly after a while: "How can you not like it?"

he deserves it.

Xie Wei seemed to be silent for a moment, and finally said: "Don't bully the dark room, be defensive like a city. It's just too cold and too straight, but it's okay."

also good.

What does Ye Hao mean?

Jiang Xuening actually didn't understand, but after listening to the previous words, she felt as if Xie Wei had approved of Zhang Zhe, so her heart was slightly hot, and for some reason, there was a sense of joy and pride.

She didn't even notice that Xie Wei led her into Xie's mansion.

In the Qinqin hall, Lu Xian's stomach was full of fire, thinking about what the **** You Fangyin was trying to do with this move, he couldn't help pacing back and forth in the room.

At this time, someone outside called "Sir", and knew that Xie Wei had returned.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xie Wei entering the door, and he wanted to complain when he opened his mouth. Unexpectedly, his eyes twitched and his eyelids twitched. Biting off his tongue: "You actually brought a woman back home?!"
