Chapter 23 Power Minister 5
Chapter 23 Power Minister 5
The emperor is dead!
Zhong Ming couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in.
There is no joy in the death of an enemy.
No grief either.
He still liked this man very much when he was a child, and he represented endless stories specially designed to coax children.There is also a bright smiling face.
The most important thing is that when he appears, uncle will be happy, he will relieve the burden on him, and become relaxed and happy.
It's just waiting for the old man's heart to change, but the old man's heart is easy to change.
Times have changed, and things have changed.
No one can maintain their original appearance.
There is still a little bit of regret in my heart, but more of a sense of relief that everything is over.
Everything is coming to an end.
Now that the news has already reached here, then Qi Yanling should have almost completed what should be done.
This position was originally prepared for him.
If he doesn't want it, he can solve the problem for him; if he wants it, he will naturally give it up.
The person who came to report was extremely urgent.
Zhong Ming was not in a hurry.
The matter in Jiangnan was almost settled, he ordered everyone to pack up and return to Beijing.
Even if you are not in a hurry, you have to get by on the surface.
It can't be that the emperor is dead, and the prime minister is still outside for a long time.
This is not the behavior that a powerful minister should have.
I have been in Jiangnan for more than two months.
It has been two months since I saw Qi Yanling.
During this period of time, I don't know if he is really busy, or he doesn't want to write to himself.
It's been more than two months and I haven't received a letter from him.
It's weird.
When I went back by myself, I saw that he was probably no longer what he used to be.
But he was in no hurry.
After slowly returning to the capital, another month passed.
In four months, the power structure of the entire imperial capital has changed.
I am afraid that many people are laughing at themselves at this moment. Prime Minister Zhong, who has all eyes and hands, turned over in the gutter?
Being tricked by a child.
So many years of hard work have been disintegrated in a few months.
Thinking of these people who obviously don't know anything and are still complacent, Zhong Ming wants to laugh a little.
But the second prince sitting next to him had just died, so if he laughed, it might not be a good scene.
He didn't pay much attention to these things, so the corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing his master's good mood.
On the way back, Qi Dongyun was no longer so petty, and he didn't fall at the end of the team with his own carriage.
Instead, he proposed to be with Zhong Ming.
But Zhong Ming was already disappointed with him, and he didn't agree. He only pretended to sit in the same carriage with him when he entered the city on the last day.
Although dealing with Jiangnan's affairs can be regarded as a return of merit, but the emperor just died, and no one will be arranged to greet them.
So when he saw the man on horseback guarding the city gate, Zhong Ming was stunned.
Not seeing each other for four months, Qi Yanling has changed a lot.
He was dressed in black, and his hair was tied high with a golden crown.Although it seems that it has been deliberately restrained, it still faintly reveals a luxurious atmosphere.
It was very different from the bookish Qi Yanling who lived in that small courtyard, dressed in Tsing Yi, and held books all the year round.
Of course, maybe the appearance back then was all faked.
He stood there alone, without speaking, quietly watching Zhongming's carriage getting closer and closer.
When the carriage stopped in front of him, he also got off the horse.
It seems to have grown taller again.
"Welcome Master back to Beijing, Yanling will take Master back," he said.
Zhong Ming was actually quite happy in his heart, but he still said with a straight face: "Since you have entered the court, if you see me in the future, you can call me the prime minister."
Turning around again, pointing at Qi Dongyun, he said, "This is your uncle, call someone, don't be so unruly."
Poor Qi Dongyun, only after he grew up did he realize that he has a nephew who is the same age as him.
"Uncle Emperor!" Qi Yanling shouted after the master ordered.
In his heart, he looked down on this uncle who was the same age as him but had little ability.
Besides, he is still a student of the Master.
Originally, the Master's students should only have themselves.
After saying hello, he didn't stay at the gate of the city either.
Qi Yanling got on the horse, Zhong Ming and Qi Dongyun got back into the carriage.
Seeing them in the same car, Qi Yanling suppressed his unhappiness, opened the way ahead, and led them into the city.
When he knew the current situation in the capital, Zhong Ming was a little disappointed.
When the emperor passed away, he was still prepared because he had been sick for many years.
To everyone's surprise, various crimes broke out in the queen's mother's family.
Including trafficking in private salt, collusion between officials and businessmen, accepting bribes, buying and selling officials and other major cases.
Everything is a capital offense.
What's even more appalling is that back then, they framed the prince, bribed the imperial physician to give the prince cold food powder, and even poisoned the emperor.
One pile, one piece, the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable.
The Chen family quickly dispersed, and the heads of those who committed crimes fell on the execution platform one by one.
The queen also immediately went after the late emperor, saying that she was reluctant to part with the late emperor and was willing to be buried. She was hanged with a rope in Fengyi Palace.
The situation in the capital was completely chaotic.
The decision was made quickly, and no one refuted it. Everyone only thought that these were still Zhong Ming's handwriting.
Naturally, no one dared to watch his jokes.
No one saw the joke, so he was not happy.
But he really didn't expect that Qi Yanling's hands were so quick, and he took care of the Chen family in four months.
He is decisive in killing, but he is expected to be an emperor.
Now everyone in the capital guesses that it is Zhong Ming who is making preparations for controlling the government in the future.
The decisions made by Zhong Ming in the past few years, except for the Chen family who would jump out and sing the opposite, no one else would refute.
Now the emperor is dead.
The second prince was cowardly again.
Without the Chen family's ideas behind it, it would be easy to control it.
No one thought that someone else would make a move.
After all, the waste prince has been taking cold food powder for many years, and he almost becomes a useless person after eating it.
Qi Yanling has been well hidden all these years.
They believe that only Zhong Ming can benefit from it.
Qi Yanling led people into the palace all the way, and knew the way well.
The second prince's face was very ugly when he heard that the queen was dead, and he went back to the bedroom by himself as soon as he entered the palace.
Of the other people in the car, only Zhong Ming and Qi Yanling were walking.
Relatively silent.
Qi Yanling had a lot to say, but he was afraid that Zhong Ming would get angry, so he didn't dare to speak.
He knew that his master didn't want these rights, he was just afraid that Zhong Ming would be angry with him for concealing it all the time, angry that he knew his life experience but didn't tell it, angry that he was so ambitious but deliberately pretended to be cute and cute to win trust.
In fact, Zhong Ming was not angry at all, and even had a sense of pride that my family had just grown up.
Although he said he was not angry, he still said coldly: "You are quite capable. You have done a lot of things by yourself, and they are all on my head."
"I, Zhong Ming, am a villain."
Qi Yanling also answered, "Yanling just doesn't know how to reveal her identity."
"A lot of nonsense," Zhong Ming thought, "to be able to walk freely in this palace, and to deal with trivial matters such as making it difficult to disclose."
Seeing that Zhong Ming did not speak, Qi Yanling also stopped talking.
The two of them just walked aimlessly in this huge palace.
The atmosphere is harmonious.
This is when Zhong Ming stopped talking, but he knew that Zhong Ming was not angry.
The flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden are well maintained. Even though it is already October, there are still some unusual varieties blooming.
The flowers are blooming well, surrounded by one after another, blooming layer upon layer, and the evening wind blows, shaking bursts, as if inviting pets.
It is as beautiful as the sunset in the sky.
There is a continuous stretch of red and purple, and the place near the sky is brighter, but the rays of light are not dazzling.
Maybe it was because he was tired from walking, or maybe it was because the sunset was so beautiful, Zhong Ming took the initiative to speak again.
"There is a good place in the palace to see the scenery."
Qi Yanling looked at him intently, listening to him, the reflection of the bell was in his eyes.
"It's the platform for picking stars, let's go together." Then he changed direction and walked ahead.
Qi Yanling followed unhurriedly, quietly following Zhong Ming's footsteps.
The Star Reaching Platform is not far from here, and the two will arrive soon.
"My master often comes here? Does my master like this place?"
"I come here often, but I don't like it." Zhong Ming replied.
This place is high, and the wind is particularly fierce. Even in summer, if it blows for a while, it is easy to get a cold the next day.
Not to mention that now in October, it is the time when the autumn tiger shows its power.
Qi Yanling conjured up a piece of clothing out of nowhere, put it on Zhong Ming's body, and stood beside him, at a high place, looking at the scenery of the world together.
The people he watched from afar here before are now here with him.
Only now did Zhong Ming realize that although he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he was almost as tall as him.
The clothes are wrapped around the body, which is warmer.
When he came here before, no one would follow him, and no one dared to follow him.There was never another person by his side, let alone someone to clothe him.
Always alone, blowing the cold wind, reminding myself over and over again in my heart.
The height is not cold.
"Have you visited your parents?" Zhong Ming asked.
Because the crown prince was sent down to Hanshisan back then, the emperor was afraid that the Chen family would take action again, and it was also because he was not very suitable to be a crown prince.He simply found a reason to form a party for personal gain and put him under house arrest.
"I've seen it. In fact, I've seen it in recent years." Qi Yanling didn't dare to lie.
However, he actually has no feelings for the prince and the prince, and the prince treats him only averagely, and it is enough to have the princess.
It means to go to see it once a year.
The prince didn't know that anyone had visited him before.
The two of them chatted like this, watching the sky sink little by little.
The sun faded over the mountains, taking back all the colors it had given the sky.
The sparse stars lit up one by one.
The lights in the world lit up one by one.
There is someone by my side, and there is a familiar atmosphere.
Zhong Ming looked at the world intently, and Qi Yanling looked at him intently.
"Do you like it?" Zhong Ming asked.
"I like it. It's beautiful." Qi Yanling replied.
"Is it cold?" Zhong Ming asked again.
"not cold."
"Then do you like this kind of feeling?" This kind of feeling of being in a high place and being too cold at a high place.
"Standing so high, you can see very far. The stars in the sky and the lights of thousands of houses echo each other, as if you can see everything in the world." He replied, "It doesn't matter if it's colder."
"Especially the feeling of standing next to you, not behind you," Qi Yanling thought, but didn't say it out loud.
Zhong Ming turned around and looked at him carefully.
The youth in front of him had faded away, his face no longer gave up on himself, his hair was tied up high, and his eyes were extremely determined.The black robe he was wearing had golden dark lines, which made him look stable and luxurious.
It looks better than before in a green shirt.
He is more suitable for dressing like this now.
When it comes to facial features, they are even more impeccable.The eyebrows are sharp, the nose is straight, and the long and narrow Danfeng eyes are focused on Zhong Ming. In the reflection, besides Zhong Ming, there are stars all over the sky connecting into rivers, and the lights all over the city will be integrated into pieces.
I can't remember the first time I saw him.
What was Qi Yanling like at that time?
He thought carefully.
The author has something to say: First of all, why did those little officials die so terribly, but the second prince didn't have anything to do?
1. Those petty officials have already committed mistakes that killed people, and they don't know how to repent and encourage others.The second prince just wanted to do this, but he hadn't done it yet, and no one died because of him.
2. In ancient times, the so-called prince broke the law and the common people were as guilty, but it is actually false.
3. Most importantly, most people don't know that he planned this matter.For the common people, the royal family is like a god, a highly admired existence.Zhong Ming intentionally saved face for him and prevented the news from spreading, just to prevent this "god" from falling from the altar.
Tell the people in the disaster area that their god almost killed them all, and it will disturb the hearts of the people.
4. Xiao Yunyun is really miserable, I really can't do anything.
But he did this, so it's impossible to let it go.
The next chapter begins to enter the memory part of this world.
Talk about the old emperor's feelings, why the queen is so vicious, and also mention the prince, a less important plot character who "the wife is the true love and the child is just an accident".
