The King's Favor [Rebirth]

Chapter 23

Xie Linxi turned into a guest after being gnawed by him.

After the emotions gradually calmed down, Xie Linxi hugged the person and said softly: "Are you angry?"

Qi Jingyuan lay on his shoulders, was silent for a while, and said in a muffled voice, "Not really."

He went to the palace to meet the little emperor, and the little emperor didn't say a word why he didn't go to court for no reason. On the contrary, the little emperor was very concerned about his body, saying that if he was too tired, he should take a good rest.

It is said that before he came, the queen mother came to see the little emperor.

Qi Jingyuan used his toes to figure out what the Empress Dowager would say to the little emperor. It was nothing more than the fact that he was in power now, and half of the officials in the court were promoted by him.Now that the He family is implicated by Zuo Min, it is easy to be attacked when speaking in court, so the most important thing for the little emperor is to endure it for the time being.

The little emperor is really tolerant.

Qi Jingyuan knew very well that the little emperor's current situation was not very good.

He needs to rely on himself as the regent, he needs to rely on He Yun, and he also needs Ji Mingyi, a courtier who can be kind and refute Qi Jingyuan.

If he has no heart for the little emperor, the little emperor will be in danger.

The empress dowager, Ji Mingyi and even He Yun never stopped being suspicious of him, and he could understand.

But after he understood, the price he paid was beyond anyone's expectation, and he couldn't afford it.

So this time, he can understand, but he will never accept it.

However, when things came to an end, I was still in a bad mood.It was a feeling that was hard to put into words. He had gone through the ups and downs of the world, and when he turned his head, the little emperor was still the same little emperor as before, standing there alone without knowing the changes in the world.

Xie Linxi felt that Qi Jingyuan was in a bad mood, so he hugged him tightly.

He knew that Qi Jingyuan was strong enough and didn't need too much words to comfort him.Besides, there are some things that can't be comforted by words at all. All he can do is to give him a hard and reliable shoulder at this special time.

At this moment, Xie Linxi suddenly felt that it was good to speak.

If he and Qi Jingyuan are still in the relationship between monarch and minister, there is too little he can do, no matter how distressed he is, he can't overstep his words.

That's good, hug each other to absorb warmth.

After cuddling each other silently for a while, Xie Linxi said with a smile: "When the prince came back, it was snowing heavily, and the cloak was wet, let's change."

Qi Jingyuan actually didn't want to move, but he was worried that the coldness on his body would touch Xie Linxi, and if this person got sick because of it, he would feel distressed.

What's more, Xie Linxi felt sorry for him when he said that, thinking of this felt like eating sweet candy.So Qi Jingyuan took a step back and said: "I listen to you, change it. If I feel uncomfortable, you will definitely feel distressed. If you feel distressed, I will feel even more uncomfortable."

Perhaps because he has never experienced the pain of life and death, Qi Jingyuan can say a lot of things calmly, but Xie Linxi can't say such frank love words, so he can only hum slightly to express his agreement.

Qi Jingyuan went back to his bedroom and changed his clothes.

This time he didn't ask Xie Linxi to help, there were many people in the palace, and he couldn't guarantee that everyone would trust him wholeheartedly.

So when it's time to avoid suspicion, you should avoid it.

After changing their clothes, the two went to the study.

Xie Linxi has been in Qi Jingyuan's study these years, and only Xie Linxi has been in it.

Qi Jingyuan is a person who knows how to enjoy himself, he is not like Xie Linxi, who just muddle along, like a rootless duckweed, Xie's house is not considered a home in his heart.

Qi Jingyuan's palace was very uniquely built, and of course most of the objects were rewarded by the late emperor when he was alive.There are earth dragons in his dormitory and bedroom, and the floor is covered with high-quality soft blankets, which are very comfortable to step on, without feeling the coldness at all.

The two were not sticking together in the study, but were dealing with business.

Xie Linxi's Heavenly Prison Officer is alright, there have been no criminals who have committed serious crimes recently, and he has relatively few things on hand.

In contrast, Qi Jingyuan was much busier.

After a day of leisure, a lot of unapproved papers have accumulated.

Most of the excerpts are trivial matters, and sometimes Qi Jingyuan really wants to directly write the word bullshit on it.

However, as a knowledgeable person, Qi Jingyuan was not so rude after all, and many notes directly wrote a rebuttal.

Dealing with official business is quite boring.

Fortunately, the two had just connected with each other, and occasionally looked up at each other, and the restlessness in their hearts would disappear with the people around them.

Time walked unhurriedly, when Jin Yi knocked on the door to refill tea, Xie Linxi said: "What time is it?"

Jin Yi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "It's about to light the lamp."

Xie Linxi got up and opened a small opening on the window, the cold wind mixed with snow was blowing on his face, it was very bitter, and the temperature in the room instantly cooled.

Qi Jingyuan raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's snowing heavily." Xie Linxi said.

The snow was very small when it first fell, but now the snowflakes are very large, falling on the ground and whitening the road in front of the window.

Qi Jingyuan got up and walked to him, and the two stood by the window, looking out from the small window.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of whiteness.

As soon as Jin saw this situation, he hurriedly retreated softly.

Xie Linxi stretched out his hand to catch a piece of snowflake, the snow fell in his hand very cold and quickly turned into water again.

He said softly: "Where I used to live, there was a big pear tree in the yard. When the pear blossoms fell, it looked like this snow. I didn't like snow at that time. I go up the mountain to collect firewood, but I especially like the season when the pear blossoms are falling, I think it is very beautiful."

Qi Jingyuan didn't speak, and Xie Linxi rarely brought up the past on his own initiative.

In his previous life, he knew very little, only that he had a rough time in his adoptive parents' house.In this life, this person's heart was finally opened to him. What he needs to do most now is to listen, not to question.

Because he knew that this life was different, and sooner or later he would know all about those past events from Xie Linxi.

When Xie Linxi said this, he turned his head slightly to look at Qi Jingyuan and said with a smile: "Just now I suddenly thought, when we were standing together watching the falling snow when our black hair was turning into snow, the scenery should be very beautiful then."

Qingsi Chengxue is full of gray eyes, looking at Luoxue side by side, it is already a life together hand in hand.

Qi Jingyuan knew that this was Xie Linxi's promise.

Xie Linxi is willing to be with Qi Jingyuan for the rest of his life and grow old hand in hand.

Qi Jingyuan felt that the eye circles were a little hot, but he didn't cry.

He sniffed, and said, "From now on, I will plant pear trees outside the windows. Let's see pear blossoms in summer and snow in winter."

At this time, someone lit the palace lantern, and the snow was clearly visible when the lights were flickering.

Placed in a scene that was not very noticeable in the past, it looks beautiful at the moment.

But soon Xie Linxi closed the window, he said: "It's too cold."

Qi Jingyuan hummed.

Xie Linxi said again: "It's very cold today, the prince should eat early and rest early."

Qi Jingyuan raised his eyelids and snorted, "Did Jin Yi gobble his tongue in front of you?"

Xie Linxi didn't deny or admit it, and said like this: "Your Highness understands Jin Yi's temperament better than I do. I have eyes, so I can tell if His Highness is resting well, and whether he is tired or not."

Qi Jingyuan liked his rhetoric very much, and he was not in the mood to deal with official duties, so he said: "Then you will accompany me."

Not only to eat together but also to live together.

"Naturally." Xie Linxi said in a low voice: "It took me a long time to stay here with the lord to know the meaning of the word "comfortable". It makes people linger. Last night... It was very cold in Xie's house last night. I really wronged the lord."

"No grievance." Qi Jingyuan seriously corrected: "It's too late to rejoice, how can you be wronged?"

Xie Linxi thought, in terms of speaking, he might never be able to compare with Qi Jingyuan.

That night, Qi Jingyuan had someone prepare a hot pot.

On a cold winter snowy night, eating this and drinking some wine is the most satisfying.

This dinner, the two of them ate warmly, and they occasionally started a conversation to recall the past, which was very sweet.

When the time was almost up, the two washed up casually and fell asleep.

Xie Linxi slept on Qi Jingyuan's bed before, but it was the first time for the two of them to sleep on this bed together.

That night, the two were just talking, not as crazy as when they were in Xie Mansion.

After an unknown amount of time, both of them fell asleep in a daze.

The cold wind is howling outside, and the house is warm.

Jin Yi was watching the night outside, and everyone was far away. Everyone thought that Xie Linxi was watching the night with Jin Yi, but no one would have guessed that he was sleeping next to Qi Jingyuan.

Xie Linxi woke up early the next day, and this time he didn't pretend that he couldn't see the clepsydra.

He called Qi Jingyuan up, because the clothes worn in the early court were many and complicated, and they needed to be tidied up slowly.

Qi Jingyuan let him torment, and if he made a mistake, he would remind him.

In the end, the two tied each other's hair again, and all the good things suddenly seemed like a dream.

It's just that no matter how beautiful the dream is in the palace, it has to be suppressed in the bottom of my heart.

After entering the palace gate, in the eyes of others, Qi Jingyuan is the regent, and Xie Linxi is the commander of the heavenly prison.

And they themselves keep their identities in mind.

This time at court, Qi Jingyuan arrived, and Ji Mingyi's illness was also cured, but he coughed twice from time to time, and even He Yun, who hadn't appeared for many days, appeared.

The little emperor sat on the high dragon chair, looking at the tranquility in the court hall.

There is nothing particularly new in the court.

Zhang Xian, who shined in the court yesterday, did not speak today.

Qi Jingyuan stood there, a silent deterrent.

I thought this morning would pass peacefully, but who knows when the time is about to come.

Jin Yi sent a note from Song An, the prefect of Jinzhou, saying that other members of the Zuo family who were exiled to the northwest to ask for safety were all killed by horse thieves, even young children.

When Song An received the news and went to check, all the Zuo family members were dead, and the people who escorted them were also dead and disabled, all in all very miserable.

Song An knew that the matter was serious, so he hurriedly sent the booklet to the capital overnight.

Jinzhou is the place where the capital must pass to ask for peace. It has always been peaceful here, and I have never heard of horse thieves. This is obviously strange.

The most important thing is that Song An, the prefect of Jinzhou, was single-handedly promoted by Qi Jingyuan, and finally sent to Jinzhou.

For a moment, all the courtiers looked at Qi Jingyuan who was holding a booklet and frowning slightly, including the little emperor on the dragon chair.

Xie Linxi frowned, and he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, your lord, it is the Jingji Yingwei who escorted and escorted the Zuo family's sinners. The need for the Jingji Yingwei to leave the capital is the same as that of the Heavenly Prisoner. No one has received the order from the Heavenly Prisoner recently." In order to transfer the order, it is better for Wei Chen to take people to Jinzhou for a walk."

Xie Linxi's words are very clear. No one in the prison department is out of Beijing, so don't want to put all the shit on their heads if something happens.

If you want to check, you should also check the Gyeonggi Yingwei.

The commander of the Jingji Yingwei is Ji Mingyi's grandson-in-law.

As soon as Xie Linxi opened his mouth, everyone looked at Ji Mingyi again.

I saw Ji Mingyi clutching his heart, coughing out of breath, his whole face turned purple, and he looked like he was about to faint.

"Who can do such a heartless thing, his behavior is simply heinous." In the silence, Zhang Xian stood up and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Zuo Min committed a crime, and he has been punished. The Zuo family It is the greatness of the emperor's grace to be exiled to greet him with the name of the emperor's grace. It is really heartbreaking that such a frenzied thing happened at this time... This case is full of grievances. Since Jinzhou is the place where the incident happened, Song An Escort back to Beijing to ask for clarification. I hope the emperor will see clearly."

Zhang Xian's words got a response from some people.

In any case, they all felt that the death of the rest of the Zuo family was too miserable.

While the ministers were discussing, Qi Jingyuan held the booklet and remained silent.

It made the little emperor look at him frequently, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What is the emperor thinking?"

"Your Majesty, I'm thinking about this. It's so interesting." Qi Jingyuan tapped on his hand and said, "Why did something happen in Jinzhou? Jinzhou is flat and open, with no mountains and no water. Good place."

"Maybe someone will respond." Zhang Xian said in this way.

Xie Linxi looked at him and said, "What is the meaning of Mr. Zhang's words? Could it be that Mr. Zhang thinks Mr. Song did this?"

Before Zhang Xian could deny it, Xie Linxi sneered and continued: "If Mr. Song really had this ability, he wouldn't have been beaten by the unruly people last year. Jinzhou has no troops stationed here, and Mr. Song only has a few government servants in his hands. Mr. Song can gain a firm foothold in Jinzhou and manage Jinzhou in a decent manner, which is what he paid for with his life. Or is Mr. Zhang implying that Mr. Song has secretly stationed troops, intending to do something wrong to the emperor?"

"You..." Zhang Xian didn't expect Xie Linxi to distort the facts so much, he flushed with anger and said, "You spout blood."

Even if he thought so in his heart, it was impossible to say it, let alone admit it.

"Your Majesty, the Lord Mingjian, I don't have bloody words. I'm a rough man, I don't read many books, I don't know many words, and I'm reckless in speaking and doing things on weekdays. But Mr. Zhang is the censor of the censor, and he is well educated. Knowing etiquette and allusions, teaching people to quote scriptures often makes people speechless, but just now they kept saying that Master Song would be escorted back to Beijing. I really don’t know what crime Master Song has committed and needs to be escorted back to Beijing.”

"If Mr. Zhang insists on saying that he made a slip of the tongue, then the humble official will not be able to reason with him. It's just that as a censor, he can slip his tongue when he speaks, and his words are so inappropriate. This censor's platform is too easy to advance. " Xie Linxi mocked mercilessly.

Zhang Xian had nothing to say.

He had been prejudiced against Qi Jingyuan for a long time, and his son Zhangqiu had fallen in the hands of Xie Linxi.

This matter has been kept in his heart, and besides, he has the reputation of not being afraid of the powerful and outspoken, and at this moment, there is finally an incident that can fall directly on Qi Jingyuan's head. Xie Linxi held on to the excuse, ruthlessly squeezed her, and even washed Song An clean in a few words while speaking.

Once Song An is clean, Qi Jingyuan is also clean.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xian took a deep breath, calmed down his ups and downs, and said, "Commander Xie is a good tonguer, and I am willing to bow down to you. No wonder the Division of Prison under the leadership of Commander Xie has repeatedly cracked major and important cases."

Everyone can hear the irony in Zhang Xian's words.

Xie Linxi smiled modestly, and sarcastically said: "Our Heavenly Prison Division always follows the law in handling cases, and we pay attention to seeking truth from facts. After all, other people's lives are involved, so we can't be perfunctory. We don't rely on imagination like Mr. Zhang, and talk nonsense."

"What Linxi said is wrong." Qi Jingyuan said indifferently: "The Yushitai inspects the words and deeds of the officials. Their duty is to not understand what the scriptures say. They accuse the emperor and forgive him. .As for whether there is any evidence, it is up to other people to check and confirm. You insist on making Zhang Yushi’s words have a basis, and he is not an official of the Ministry of Punishment, so it is too difficult for him.”

Xie Linxi suddenly realized, and he said apologetically, "Thank you, my lord, for your guidance. I'm stupid, and I've always been stubborn. I don't like to think about these detours. I just wanted to confront Mr. Zhang. I didn't If you want to understand this, Zhang Yushi will forgive me a lot."

Zhang Xian: "..."

He really wanted to say that it's really shameless for the two to sing together, it's like one person slapping the face in front while the other applauds.It's just that literati and scholars care about face, and Qi Jingyuan's identity is placed there, Xie Linxi didn't say anything wrong.He really couldn't say these words in the court, it was too much like a shrew cursing the street, which would damage his image.

Zhang Xian suppressed the urge to eat Xie Linxi and Qi Jingyuan, he bowed to the little emperor and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is full of doubts and needs to be carefully investigated."

"Your Majesty, my lord, this old minister thinks what Mr. Zhang said is very true, and this matter must be investigated." Ji Mingyi, who was finally relieved, also stepped forward and said, if it involves his grandson-in-law, it means that it involves the Ji family. Treat with care.

The only one who didn't make a sound was He Yun.

His face was gloomy, the Zuo family had an in-law relationship with the He family, and now the people of the Zuo family were dying so miserable, it was impossible for him to pretend that he didn't know.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Qi Jingyuan and the little emperor.

The little emperor looked at everyone and then at Qi Jingyuan and said, "How does the emperor think this matter should be dealt with?"

"This matter is a bit strange." Qi Jingyuan said indifferently: "Zuo Min is dead. It stands to reason that the emperor sent his family members into exile. It is God's grace to keep them alive. After his death, his family members should not be affected. Unless..."

Having said this, Qi Jingyuan stopped and did not continue.

The little emperor asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless someone feels that he can't rest assured after he dies, and wants his family to go underground to accompany him and keep some secrets together." Qi Jingyuan laughed and said, "I can only think of these for the time being, and I can't guess anything else. But things Since it happened in Jinzhou, let Song An go back to Beijing with the Jingji camp guards who escorted the Zuo family to see if they can find any useful clues."

When Qi Jingyuan said these things, he put a lot of emphasis on the word escort.

During the period, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Xian with a half-smile, as if telling him under what circumstances this word could be used.

Zhang Xian knew that he was despised, but he was powerless to refute.

If you talk fast for a while, it is easy to be caught by others, and then followed by naked contempt.

The little emperor looked at the crowd and nodded.
