Pick all the cold branches

Qingning Palace has always been the residence of the princes of the past dynasties. Because of its location, it is also called the East Palace.It's just that the prince has not been established for a long time, so it has been vacant for many years.

Now the one who is in charge of it is the youngest son of today, King Zhao Jiashou.

The next day when the concubine Liu died of illness, the emperor ordered Chen Shiqin, the chief eunuch who was in charge of printing, to proclaim the imperial edict on his behalf.

The imperial edict was issued immediately, and the whole court was shaken.

The holy body is not in peace, and King Zhao bestows him with a residence in the Qingning Palace, which is a harbinger of a change in the sky.

At this time, King Jing Jiafei was still suppressing Japanese pirates in the coastal areas. Unless he immediately left everything in the southeast behind, it would be difficult to rush back to Beijing in a short while.

But if King Jing Jiafei doesn't return to Beijing at this time, I'm afraid the future is a done deal. Even if he survives by luck, it will be very difficult for him to have the chance to come back in this life.

All of a sudden, those who used to face His Royal Highness Prince Jing were either anxious and resentful, or panicked.As Jing Wang Jiafei's teacher and the chief assistant of the cabinet, the threshold of Cao Ge's old mansion was almost broken.

But never see anyone.

Elder Cao Ge, all the cabinet ministers, together with Concubine Wan Gui's father, Minister of Industry Wan Liang, are all in the county palace of King Jiayu of Ankang County, and they have not closed their eyes for a day and two nights.The search in Dongchang under the name of "guard" has just ended not long ago.

Dare to openly go to the county palace to track down the whereabouts of Mrs. Cui and Xiao Shizi, Chen Shiqin's intention to help King Zhao has been completely shown without any scruples.

It is not known whether the Holy Majesty's so-called "dragon body is not served" is true or not. Zhao Wang Jiashou is actually confined in the East Palace, and all the cabinet ministers are blocked outside the palace wall. It can be said that the rain is coming.

In the opinion of all the ministers, a letter should be sent to the southeast immediately, asking His Royal Highness King Jing to rush back to Beijing.

Now that His Royal Highness Prince Jing has cleaned up the Zhejiang capital, the matter of suppressing the Japanese can be handed over to Hu Jingcheng for finishing.After all, compared to mere pirates, the change of position is the top priority.

But it has been a long time since Mr. Cao Ge expressed his opinion.

Cao Min was slightly hunched when he acted, showing many signs of aging, but his face was still dignified and dignified.

He cleared his throat amidst the dispute and quarrel among the ministers, and turned to ask Jiayu, the king of Ankang County, who was beside him.

Jia Yu was half leaning sideways on a royal concubine couch, wrapped in a thick velvet blanket, holding a Tang lady in her arms, already looking very uncomfortable, but the expression between her brows and eyes was still cold and aloof.

He didn't give these "pillars of the country" much face, so he covered his mouth, frowned, and sneered: "Second brother has soldiers and generals in Nanzhili, what do you do when you come back? Rebel or die? Father is still here, you guys Why panic first?" Zhenzhen couldn't hide her sarcasm.

These people wanted the second brother back, not because of the second brother, but because they were afraid that Chen Shiqin would kill them in the future, and wanted the second brother to come back to save their lives.

But if the second brother comes back at this time, he will only be forced to fight head-on with Qilang.

That is to force a coup in the palace.

Kill Chen Shiqin, force his father to abdicate, put Qilang under house arrest or exile...even kill him at the same time, so as to avoid future troubles.

Once the second elder brother's "Xuanwumen worry" that has been read for many years is confirmed, he will never be able to wash away his bad reputation of murdering his father and younger brother in this life.And how could the second brother really be willing to treat his father and Xiao Qi'er like this in his heart?Even if he doesn't say it, he will be sad and regretful for the rest of his life.

It's not that this matter can't be done, but the cost is too high, and it hurts the muscles and bones. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not leave.

What's more, father is not a dead person.

With his father's temperament and skills, he would not easily let Chen Shiqin succeed. Now he seems to be under restraint, most likely he is dormant, so as to appease the old dog.

Father Huang must still be thinking about his second brother in his heart.

The best strategy for the second brother is not to abandon the father, but to try to rescue the father.

Now the only one who can solve the difficulties in Beijing is Dongnaner.

If the second elder brother really abandoned the southeast and returned to Beijing as these cowardly civil servants said, then he would relinquish his sharp sword and take poisonous wine, which is a big mistake.

"Father's imperial edict will naturally be passed on to Nanzhili, and the official correspondence between the adults will continue as usual. At this time, there is no need to have more private correspondence, so as not to be caught by others and make a big fuss. Second brother Over there, I will write to explain in detail.”

Jia Yu talked for a while, then covered her mouth and coughed.

At this time, he didn't have any maidservants to serve him, so he could only reach out to touch the cup on the tea table, took a sip and then put it down as cold, frowning unhappy.

All the ministers reacted differently to these words, but Cao Min liked it quite a bit.

Elder Cao Ge immediately nodded his head to express his approval, and then said, "The dragon body of the Holy Majesty and the situation of His Royal Highness King Zhao in the East Palace—"

Jia Yu had expected it, waved his hand and said: "I have sent people into the palace, and they should come back after a while. The adults have worked a lot, why don't you go and have some tea and snacks first. I dare not say anything about the hospitality, a little water and food , I still have some here. I am also tired and want to rest for a while.”

He was probably really tired, with a look of boredom and impatience on his face, before everyone left the house, he closed his eyes.His grandfather Wanliang Baba waited for everyone to leave, and wanted to go up to him and whisper a few words to him, but he didn't respond, and actually fell asleep in such a drowsy state, and after a while, he even had a dream.

In the dream, he stood on a snowy field, looking around, covered in white.The wind blowing against his face was extremely cold, and he couldn't help shivering and hugging his arms, walking blankly in the snow, turning around a plum forest covered with frost and snow, suddenly there was a familiar figure.

He saw his second brother standing not far in front, with his back turned to him.

As soon as his eyes lit up, he wanted to run quickly.

But he saw his second brother turned slightly sideways, and only then did he realize that there was another person beside his second brother.

Of course it was Zhen Xian.

His vision was suddenly blurred, and he didn't know what he was doing, so he subconsciously retracted and hid under a plum tree.

He also couldn't quite hear what the second brother and Zhen Xian were talking about, he could only hear the two whispering and laughing sometimes, and sometimes seemed to be arguing, but no matter what, they always looked very close.

There was a sudden soreness in the bottom of my heart.

He thought it was ridiculous.

What could he hide from?Why should he hide?

Could it be that just because it was in a dream, she became timid, exposing the weakness carefully buried under the hard thorns...

How does that work?

He is not qualified to be weak.

If a person like him lost his armor and spikes, he would have to freeze to death silently in the wind and snow, and it would be hard for him to collect his body.

His feet were so cold in the snow that he almost lost consciousness, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, burning the tip of his heart.

He stood up abruptly and walked forward, almost running.

But he suddenly froze.

There was no sign of the second brother in sight.

Only Zhen Xian.

He saw Zhen Xian leaning against a plum tree by himself, with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

But this man had one hand bent in front of his chest, holding a book in his bosom, while the other hand was hanging down in the snow, holding a piece of translucent jade in the palm.The plum blossoms blown by the wind fell on this thin body, like blood, bright red and dazzling.

The book was extremely old, the pages were yellow, but it was well preserved, in the heavy snow, not even half a snowflake was stained.

And that piece of jade, he recognized it.

That's the second brother's stuff.

My heart suddenly tightened.

He suddenly panicked, and subconsciously bent over to wake this person up.

But Zhen Xian opened his eyes the moment he stretched out his hand, and fixed his eyes on him.

Those eyes seemed to have really penetrated thousands of rivers and mountains, and looked into the bottom of his heart.

Jia Yu yelled in shock, shivered suddenly, and woke up from the dream.
