I'm back

The autumn hunt ended temporarily due to an accident. Yan Qin and his party returned to the capital first, and the rest of them also returned to the capital three days later, but they failed to catch the assassin. corpses of dead people.

There was indeed something wrong with Lin Su, but the real Lin Su was not an assassin, he was just killed before going up the mountain, replaced by someone, and mixed into the team.

After getting this result, Yan Qin was furious, and directly put all the Habayashi soldiers into prison for interrogation, and then according to their faults, those who deserved to be killed, those who should be imprisoned, and those who should be exiled, replaced a group of newcomers .

No wonder Yan Qin punished him severely. Compared with his father, his grandfather, and those ancestors, Yan Qin was already a good-tempered emperor, never getting angry and disregarding human life at will.

But this time, Lu Chengyi and those Habayashi Army did too much. The last time the assassin appeared in the emperor's guards - the Habayashi Army, it was only after the emperor and the regent repeatedly pointed out that they were found out. of.

A team responsible for protecting the emperor didn't even notice that assassins had sneaked into their brothers, and even covered up when they shouldn't.

In the end, he wanted to protect his own people. The new army of the Habayashi Army was hand-picked by Yan Qin. He went to the army once and chose whoever he liked. Those who are not good at it will let the remaining contestants, and the rest will be compiled into a new Habayashi army.

He picked young people who looked young and full of vigor.Because these people joined the army not long ago, most of them are recruits who have never been on the battlefield. There are not few shortcomings, but the advantage is that they are all selected by Yan Qin himself, and he has time to slowly train them. Relatively speaking, it is also higher.

The former Yulin Army belonged to the former emperor, they were all old fritters, their brains were too active, it was actually not a good thing for the emperor Yan Qin.

After finally solving the matter of the Habayashi Army, the dark cloud of assassins still hangs over Yan Qin's head. After a few days of clean and comfortable life, the scandal of the regent began to spread quietly in the capital.

The regent found a beauty from the people, she was a woman, and she was placed in a house under the name of the regent.I don't know who spread the news first, but scandalous rumors about the regent always spread quickly among the scholar-bureaucrats in the capital.

Although the Prince Regent did it very secretly, picking someone up from the outside is different from what happened in the Prince Regent's mansion. There are always one or two families who saw it and spread it privately. It should be known. People who shouldn't know know it too.

Of course, teahouses and taverns dare not discuss the private affairs of the regent in private. When ordinary people in Yandu knew nothing about it, only the upper circles in Yandu knew about it.

This upper circle naturally also includes the little emperor who is at the top of this circle.The rumors that spread to Yan Qin's ears were already embellished versions: the regent picked up a woman in private, she was a young woman, three years younger than the regent, and it was said that the regent fell in love with her at first sight and specially placed her in the In his own house, he was waiting to marry this woman in a few days, and the regent sent his mother to make a wedding dress a few months ago.

Because the butler of the house cut the regent's wedding dress on his own initiative, the whole family was driven by the regent to the countryside far away from Yandu.

It is true that the regent took a woman into the house under his name, and it is true that he changed the housekeeper.Many civil and military officials knew this old butler because he had done things for the Yan family for many years.A loyal servant who has served him for many years was kicked out of the mansion, he must have committed something.

The old housekeeper himself is very strict with his mouth, but his family members are not all talkative gourds, and those maids who worked for the regent back then, although they were afraid of the regent's authority, they dare not reveal everything , but they are also afraid of other adults in high positions. After saying a few vague words, these people piece together the so-called facts from the clues.

The reason why some rumors that do not match the facts make people believe it is because some of them are true and some are false. The more you think about it, the more you feel that it is true.

When Yan Qin first heard the rumors, he didn't take it seriously. After all, he knew very well that the regent had some problems. If he wanted to find a woman, he would have looked for it long ago. What kind of princess is there?

Besides, if a man has an unspeakable hidden disease, if he finds a woman, the secret will be exposed all at once.He wanted to find an imperial doctor to treat the regent, but the other party was not happy. If he really wanted to find a woman, it would be tantamount to humiliating himself.

Yan Yuge didn't have any hobby of masochism, so it was impossible to do such a thing anyway.

At that time, one person said it, and another person said it, so he was inevitably a little curious. He checked it out, and found out, hey, the regent really found a woman outside.

And according to the rumors, she was indeed a young and beautiful woman.

Yan Qin was very angry, he might have given the position of empress to the regent, and he also promised to clear up the harem for this jealousy, but in the end, the regent actually got him a woman outside.

He carefully recalled the Prince Regent's expression and some actions over the past few days, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt suspicious, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

In the past, the regent loved to pester him to do that kind of thing, and he would be sticky whenever he had free time, especially in the days after the wedding, this kind of stickiness was almost outrageous.

As a result, the regent has become an upright gentleman these days, not as clingy as before. He runs to his mansion every day after completing political affairs. Sometimes, let’s have a meal, but the other party is still absent-minded look.

There were even times when the Prince Regent had a secret smile on his lips, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Everyone has secrets in their hearts, and he himself is no exception. For things like being reborn three times, even when the love is strong, he can't tell the regent.

Comparing his heart with his heart, he would not actually ask the regent to tell him everything, so although he noticed these small details, he didn't think much about them at the time.

Now that I think about it, isn't it because the regent is thinking about the woman raised in the village?Yan Qin doesn't like to be jealous, he thinks it's not good, it's very unmanly.But if the regent really did such a thing and wanted to find a woman to be the princess behind his back, he would absolutely refuse.

This is no longer a question of whether to be jealous or not. It is his queen who is blatantly cuckolding him. How can he endure such a thing that is detrimental to the dignity of a man and the royal family.

Although the regent has a hidden disease, they haven't done that kind of thing for so many days. What if the regent has cured the hidden disease and wants to leave a queen for Old General Yan.

As the old saying goes, there are three ways to be unfilial and having no descendants is the biggest. The regent is the only one, so the matter of inheriting the incense will naturally fall on his shoulders. It is only natural that the regent wants to do this.

But he himself is still the monarch of a country, and he wants to continue the successors of the Great Yanjiang Mountain.The king regent treated them differently, only allowing the state officials to set fires, and not allowing the common people to light lamps is really annoying.

It is not Yan Qin's style to think wildly. During dinner at night, he tried to test the regent a few words, but the regent had a random conversation and was quite absent-minded.

Yan Qin shouted again: "Uncle Wang, are you listening?"

"Ah, what did His Majesty just say?" The regent was always very honest in front of the little emperor, he would be distracted when he was distracted, and he would usually not fool the past, so as not to appear too perfunctory and make the little emperor even more unhappy.

This city made Yan Qin even more angry, and he put down the chopsticks in his hand: "It's nothing, I just said I'm full."

Yan Yuge let out an "oh", indicating that he knew.

The little emperor was already so angry that he knew that the regent was tricky. If it was in the past, how could the other party treat him so unsatisfactorily? He showed it so clearly, but the other party still didn't notice it at all, even I don't know how to say a few more words.

If this was the case in the past, the other party must have discovered that he hadn't eaten anything at all, and would definitely persuade him to eat two more bites... Yan Qin really couldn't think of anything that could make the other party so absent-minded.

State affairs?Early this morning, the other party had already dealt with all the papers that should be dealt with, and there was nothing particularly important for the regent to worry about.

No wind, no waves, the rumors spread so strongly, it must be because it is true, the regent is so absent-minded, he must be thinking about that vixen outside.

Yan Qin didn't show it on the face, but he poked his chopsticks into the pork knuckle with hatred in his hand, and the sauce from the pork knuckle splashed on his sleeves, and the light-colored robe suddenly appeared a little dark brown sauce, It looks very dazzling.

Although he was not short of clothes to wear, but the clothes were dirty, and the little emperor's mood became worse because of this.

The regent still didn't find anything wrong with Yan Qin, because he was preoccupied with things and couldn't pay attention to so much. He stuffed two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, feeling full, and said: "Your Majesty, my minister The injury is almost healed, and I had some private matters to do before, but I have been shelving them for a long time, and now the time is a little tight, and I can't delay any longer. In the next few days, the morning court will have to work hard for Your Majesty."

Yan Qin looked at the regent with a calm expression and a calm tone: "Uncle Wang, what's a private matter that can't be left to the subordinates to do, and I have to trouble you to come here in person?"

Yan Yuge said vaguely, "It's better to do some things in my family personally."

He and the little emperor are now a family. Since it is a matter of heirs, it is also his family business.

Can't you just tell yourself what's going on at home?Yan Qin wanted to get angry at first, but then he thought about it, the regent's words were so vague, he definitely didn't want to tell him, even if he asked directly, the other party would definitely hide something, maybe it would attract the other party's attention, and hide the truth in advance stand up.

He relaxed the muscles of his face a little to make his expression look more natural: "Then where are you going, and how many days are you going to, you have to make preparations."

He has been in charge for nearly half a year, and now he doesn't need to consult the regent, he can handle major affairs of the government well.Even if the regent wants to go out, he can just investigate and see the truth of the rumors.

Yan Yuge didn't think too much, and still replied very honestly: "Ten days are enough to go to Yecheng." He hurried to Yecheng, and it only took six days to go back and forth, and four days was enough for him to stay there.Four days was enough for him to find out what he wanted, and he might have some free time to bring some local specialties to the little emperor.

Five days, since he took the throne for two years, the regent has not gone out for ten days for any reason.Yan Qin thought so in his heart, and didn't say anything else: "Gu heard that the public security in Ye is not very good. Uncle Wang should pay more attention to safety when he is going this time."

Yan Yuge laughed: "If Your Majesty misses me, I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Hmph, if the rumors are true, the regent still has the face to tease him here, Yan Qin snorted coldly in his heart, but kept his face calm, and used gentle words to numb the other party: "The orphan will definitely miss Uncle Wang , but your wound is just right, don't be too anxious, everything is about your body."

The Prince Regent seemed to be really anxious about his private affairs. After finishing his dinner that day and not staying overnight in the palace, he went straight back to the Prince Regent's Mansion, packed his bags, and left the city gate before the curfew.

The regent's steed galloped all the way with the handsome man on his back until he left the gate of Yandu.

A good-looking man is always very eye-catching. A girl selling rouge and gouache on the street looked straight at her eyes. She waited for a long time before taking the regent's horse back from her sight. sight to come.

The owner of the rouge stall said with a smile: "The girl is beautiful, she is even more beautiful after applying my family's rouge and gouache. There is a saying, a fair lady, a gentleman is so good..."

The stall owner's mouth was already sweet, and the girl smiled when she heard it, so she took out broken silver and bought the rouge powder.

After entering an inn, the young girl who bought the rouge changed her clothes, got into the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and entered the palace.

She knelt on the long blanket in front of the emperor: "My servant saw with my own eyes that the regent left Yandu in a hurry that night, and he followed a group of people. It looks like they should be the twelve guards of the Yan family."

"Okay, you can back out." Yan Qin waved his hand, signaling the maid to back out.

After the maid left, Chang Xiao, who was waiting on the sidelines, came forward again and poured a cup of green tea into the little emperor's teacup: "Your Majesty, would you like to try this year's new tea?"

Yan Qin took a sip: "It's okay."

He didn't even have a detailed taste, obviously something was on his mind.

The little emperor had something on his mind, and as a slave, he naturally wanted to share his worries, Chang Xiao carefully took the teacup from the little emperor's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the regent?"

This time Yan Qin had an accident, it was the Regent who put in a lot of effort to rescue him, of course he would not say that if the Regent blocked the little emperor directly, Yan Qin would not even need to be frightened, little The emperor's life is precious, but human instinct is there, and what the regent has done is already considered very heroic.

He often laughs and admits the efforts of the regent. Over the past year, he has seen every bit of what the regent has done for the little emperor, but the relationship between men and men is not orthodox after all. No matter what, he hopes The little emperor was able to return to the right path.

Taking advantage of the King Regent's absence, he often laughed and said in a low voice: "I have a few words in my heart, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Yan Qin was thinking about the matter of the regent, anyway, he had free time today, so he said: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Old slave heard that in this world, there is a balance of yin and yang. Between men and women, it is the right way. You didn't like men before. If you stay with the regent for a long time, the world will inevitably criticize you. If..."

"What if?"

Chang Xiao swallowed his saliva: "If you have other brothers, the old slave thought, as long as you are happy, it will be fine, but the first emperor only left you, the master, so you are really with the regent. He And if you are so jealous, this Great Yanjiang Mountain has no successors?"

In the Golden Luan Hall, who doesn't call the emperor long live, but which emperor can really live long live.Today's Dayan has finally been governed very well. It would be a pity to hand over the country of Dayan to other people for the regent's own selfishness.

Yan Qin didn't reprimand Chang Xiao for talking nonsense, but asked him, "Why did you suddenly think of saying such a thing?"

Feeling as if he had touched the idea of ​​the little emperor, Chang Xiao then continued: "Usually there is no such opportunity, this time, the regent is going to go out for ten days, the old slave thought, how can you pamper those concubines, When the uncooked rice is cooked, the regent will be angry even if he comes back, and it will only be for a while, and then he can leave his mother and keep the child, and there will be no messy women to hinder the regent's eyes."

"You're thinking about something messy." This time, Yan Qin scolded him as soon as he finished speaking.

"Chang Xiao, you know the butler in the Prince Regent's Mansion?"

"I know. When the old servant and His Majesty went to the palace, they had contact with him several times." That was also an old fox. In fact, his personality was somewhat similar to his own, but they didn't like each other, because the other had only A regent whose master is the emperor.

"Then do you know that a few days ago, he was kicked out of the Regent's Palace by the Regent?"

"This old slave has heard about it, but isn't he old?"

A good nationality is always better than a slave nationality, and he is used to intrigue in the palace, so he will yearn for the life of an ordinary family.

Yan Qin squinted and smiled often: "If you really feel good, the orphan will send you to the countryside, and let your godson take care of the orphan."

Chang Xiao hurriedly said: "No, no, the old servant is His Majesty's man, and his death is His Majesty's ghost. He must serve His Majesty until he dies, so he won't go to any countryside."

Although he called him a slave, he was favored by the little emperor. How many people in the palace depended on his face. Those concubines should always be called empress. If you want him to say something nice, you have to lower your figure to please him.

Besides, he had made a lot of enemies in this palace, if he really wanted to go to the countryside, without the emperor's protection, he might be killed by his former enemies, so he didn't want to live that kind of life.

With an old face on his face, he said aggrievedly: "The housekeeper has sons and daughters. He is no longer a housekeeper, but he is also spoiling his grandchildren. The old slave is just a eunuch, and all his old relatives have died long ago. There is only one person who does it." Son, you are still serving His Majesty in the palace, if you let this old slave go to the countryside, he will definitely become ill because of missing His Majesty, and die early."

"It's done, Gu didn't say that you were really let out of the palace, put away your tears, how old are you, and you still do this, making Gu feel uncomfortable."

Knowing that she often said such things with a smile and put on such an expression, she was just pretending to be pitiful, but I have to say that Yan Qin is quite good at this.

The method Chang Xiao mentioned earlier, in fact, Yan Qin didn't think about it at the beginning. After all, although he said he liked the regent, he didn't like it to the point where the whole world must be the regent.

Besides, he already had a lot of concubines, although the regent put them in, he didn't reject them himself.Those courtiers like him, who only have one or two concubines in their family, can be called infatuated by everyone. He only needs one regent, and only touches the regent, so he becomes the seed of infatuation.

In the homes of ordinary people, wives can't have children, and they will take the initiative to take concubines for their husbands for the sake of incense. He is an emperor, married a man and queen, and he can't touch those beautiful concubines. It can be said that he is not as good as ordinary people. up.

Thinking of the domineering nature of the regent, Yan Qin sighed again. This kind of thought only came up when he didn't know the regent well. Now that he knows him better, he knows how calculating he is. As long as the regent lives in this world for a day, he will never be able to touch others.

"Laugh often."

"The old slave is here."

"You have a car and clothes ready. Tomorrow you will have to pay a private visit." In fact, he didn't believe the rumors, but the regent didn't give him an explanation. It's been weird these days, and he feels like There is a kitten scratching with its paws. I really miss it. You must go and see it yourself.

Chang Xiao responded: "Yes, Your Majesty, the servant must have done properly."

He has done this kind of thing more than once, and if you leave it to him, he will definitely satisfy the master.

The skilled worker Chang Xiao really prepared all the clothes, carriage and silver, and arranged a few big internal guards to protect Yan Qin's safety.

On the second day, after dealing with the urgent government affairs, Yan Qin changed into the clothes he had prepared and left the palace in disguise.

For private visits in micro-services, it must be to look around and have a look.But the carriage didn't stop and go as Chang Xiao thought, but kept driving in one direction. After walking for nearly half an hour, it passed the lively market, and passed several dim sum shops that the emperor loved to eat. , has not stopped.

Chang Xiao changed his clothes, squeezed into the master's carriage, knelt cross-legged on the rug spread in the carriage, couldn't help asking what was in his heart: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"

The coachman didn't stop, and the little emperor didn't make a sound. Obviously, this was planned by the other party long ago.

"Why do you ask so many questions, think about the old housekeeper of the Prince Regent's Mansion."

Yesterday the emperor talked about the housekeeper, so Chang Xiao went to inquire about it, and learned that the other party did not deserve sympathy because he acted as the master's master without authorization.

Yan Qin's words hit Chang Xiao like a heavy hammer, and he immediately shut up, continuing to peel sunflower seeds for the emperor with a low eyebrow.

When Chang Xiao finished peeling all the sunflower seeds in the small dish, he wiped the crumbs of sunflower seeds on his hands, and handed the white, tender and fragrant nuts to the little emperor, and the carriage stopped.

"Master, we are here."

Chang Xiao hurriedly brushed the dust off his body, intending to go down first, and then pick up the little emperor from the carriage, but was stopped by the latter.

Yan Qin raised his head from the notebook spread out on his knees, and only ordered: "Chang Xiao, roll up the curtains and wait in the carriage."

Chang Xiao was at a loss, but still followed the little emperor's instructions.

Yan Qin leaned closer to the small window on the carriage, glanced at a certain house, and looked away again.

He sat back, and then flipped through the book in his hand, "You are so staring, if someone comes, call me."

Chang Xiao also agreed, with his hands on the window, his eyes fixed on the passers-by for about a quarter of an hour, then he turned his head: "Your Majesty, people are coming!"

Yan Qin quickly put down the book in his hand, looked over, and saw a strong man, he sat back disappointed: "It's not him, you keep reading, it's a woman, then call Gu."

Why did His Majesty want to stare at the woman all of a sudden? Chang Xiaozhang Er Monk couldn’t figure it out. He leaned his head back to the window and went. This time, he waited for nearly half an hour, his neck was sore, before he waited for someone to come: " Your Majesty, there are several people here, two men and two women."

Yan Qin leaned over again, and Chang Xiao immediately stepped aside.

Sure enough, there were two women this time, and one was young and beautiful, wearing women's hair accessories, and the other three seemed to be servants. The maid carefully supported the woman, and the other two strong men carried Big and small things.

As if aware of it, the woman looked at Yan Qin, and happened to meet the little emperor in the carriage.

Yan Qin looked at the woman's face, then at her belly, and with a swipe of the floor, he pulled down the half-rolled curtain of the carriage.

Chang Xiao asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Yan Qin got angry no matter how well he behaved.

The little emperor was furious: "Go back to the palace!" What else was he looking at, the more he looked, the more angry he became.

"Yes." Chang Xiao never dared to offend the angry little emperor, although he didn't know why the little emperor suddenly became angry, and he didn't know that the little emperor said that he had a private visit in a micro-service, but he saw a pregnant woman, so he went to bed early. He lost his temper when he wanted to go back to the palace, but his survival instinct told him that at such a time, it's best not to ask anything.
