After the discussion results were implemented, the atmosphere became more relaxed, but everyone consciously avoided the topic and talked about family matters. Li Qiu was no longer silent and took the initiative to lighten the atmosphere. Even the old eunuch spoke a few words from time to time.
Generally speaking, the atmosphere was not enthusiastic. After all, although the results of the discussion had been determined, the follow-up implementation had not yet begun, especially since it involved so much and related to himself. You can imagine how melancholy Xia Ziyang felt in his heart, but he did not show it.
.
As he spoke, he looked at Yun Jing and said casually: "Does Yun Qing have any thoughts on accepting a disciple?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiu and the old eunuch both looked at Yun Jing.
According to the past history of Dali, every mythical realm will accept a member of the royal family as an apprentice. This is a means for the two parties to close the relationship and bind them. There are almost no exceptions. For example, Liu Neng is Xia Ziyue's master, and Huang Changyang is the current third prince.
All masters have traces to follow.
Of course Yunjing knew this, but he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have no such plan for the time being. I am still young and have no time to accept disciples."
It's not that he is refusing, but that his age is really inappropriate. He is only nineteen years old, which is too young. Many people at his age are at the time when they are working hard.
Xia Ziyang stopped insisting. He could tell that Yun Jing was not rejecting anything. After all, he didn't refuse either. He just said that he had no such plans for the time being, so he naturally changed the topic to other directions.
More than an hour passed unknowingly as they talked and laughed. Li Qiu mentioned that it was getting late, so they got up and left.
Yunjing tried to persuade him but did not insist.
Everyone knows very well that they stayed and spoke for so long to ease the atmosphere, otherwise they would have left long ago. It should be noted that this is not the only thing in the whole country, so much time is wasted, and the subsequent results will be even more painful.
It can be said that the mental problems have just begun, and some of them are busy.
However, this also officially means that Li Qiu, the Minister of Punishment of Dali, has begun to take office. It is rare for Li Qiu to hold such a position at his age in the entire history of Dali, but it is not without precedent...
Lin Xingyu, who had been avoiding suspicion, came behind Yun Jing. Seeing that Yun Jing was in a daze, he said, "My husband seems a little unhappy?"
She didn't wonder what Yunjing and the others had said before, but she could clearly feel that Yunjing was not very interested.
Yun Jing shook his head and said: "I can't say I'm unhappy, I'm just a little melancholy. After all, there are so many human lives. No matter good or bad, the passing of life is not a beautiful thing after all."
Lin Xingyu didn't understand. He hesitated and said: "My husband has said many times that the past cannot be changed. Live in the present and think more happily. The unknown future is worth looking forward to."
Smiling, Yun Jing said: "That's right." After a pause, he added: "By the way, Xing Yu, the matter you told your husband that day has been dealt with. The ending is not a happy ending, but it is still the best.
As a result, you don’t have to worry about this matter anymore.”
"Well, my husband will take action and it will be solved." Lin Xingyu nodded and said without being curious to inquire too much. Although she is a child of the world, she also knows how much is involved behind the matter, and it is not a good thing to know too much.
After the matter was settled, Yunjing stretched his body and said, "I still have to do my homework today, but I can't let it fall behind."
"I am grinding ink for my husband..."
After Li Qiu and the others left, Xia Ziyang had a little discussion with him on the way. Regarding this case, he would be responsible for dealing with the local officials, powerful people, and low-level criminal members after they left. Xia Ziyang would personally handle the high-ranking officials in the capital and the princes and princes.
Responsible.
I was eager to leave and agreed wholeheartedly.
After the discussion, they separated and went back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice to immediately carry out follow-up matters. Now that all parties were gathering in the capital, he was able to take advantage of the opportunity to capture many people in one fell swoop.
On the way back to the palace, Xia Ziyang was silent. It was not until after returning to the palace that he said to the old eunuch beside him: "King Xin, please go there yourself."
"That's fine, I will share your Majesty's worries." The old eunuch nodded and agreed.
As Xia Ziyang's brother, King Xin would have a big problem if he ended badly like that. But if an old eunuch from the Myth Realm went there in person, there wouldn't be any problem. King Xin deserved unconditional cooperation, even if he was unwilling to struggle.
The old eunuch has many ways to make him cooperate!
What makes Xia Ziyang confused is the Chen family. After all, they are descendants of Mrs. Chen. Will Chen Ruomo be willing to end up like that? He will definitely find ways to resist. Although Mr. Chen has been dead for many years, the influence of the Chen family cannot be underestimated.
Look, once a commotion breaks out, all the scholars in the country will be in an uproar.
After thinking about it, Xia Ziyang decided to visit Huang Changyang and let his old man go to Chen's house, so there would be no problem.
In comparison, Concubine Nishinomiya and the fourth prince were the simplest. After all, it was family matters, and Xia Ziyang could carry them out.
"Why……"
Xia Ziyang sighed in his heart. He suddenly felt very tired and tired. He was not as energetic as when he first arrived at Dabao. At that time, nothing seemed to be able to stop him. Now he felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
The king of a country always keeps his word, but a few people understand that sitting in this position often makes him so helpless.
Three days later, the old eunuch appeared at King Xin's Mansion, and King Xin received him with the highest etiquette. However, the old eunuch looked at him calmly and said: "King Xin will attack the palace with three thousand soldiers and horses in the early morning two days later."
When King Xin heard this, his face froze, and he turned to glare and said, "Sir, are you kidding me?"
I lead three thousand soldiers and horses to attack the palace. What's wrong with me? Why am I going to attack the palace when I'm fine?
"I'm not kidding, you will definitely do this. King Xin, if you do certain things, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities. That's it. Don't have other ideas. Cooperate well. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as you leading troops to attack the palace.
At least this way you will be more respectable." The old eunuch left these words and disappeared.
But King Xin knew that the other party would definitely keep an eye on the entire palace at all times.
For a moment, King Xin's face was ashen and his whole body slumped in silence.
Almost at the same time, Huang Changyang came out of the Chen family. The entire Chen family was completely silent, especially Chen Ruomo, who stared blankly at the sky like a walking zombie...
Master Deng's funeral continued step by step, but there was a little "interlude" during the process.
King Xin didn't know what was wrong with him, so he led three thousand "soldiers and horses" to attack the palace like crazy. As a result, he was killed by random swords. His Majesty decreed that King Xin rebelled and everyone in the palace was thrown into death row.
This incident happened suddenly, but it was suppressed quickly. It ended almost without people reacting. It didn't cause much trouble. It just became a topic of conversation after dinner. However, those who really have a sense of smell understand what's going on behind the scenes.
It involves too much, so I dare not say anything, for fear of being implicated.
After this incident, the third master of the Chen family, Chen Ruomo, and his family were ‘murdered’ when they went out, but few people even knew about it.
Unknowingly, people realized that the few high-ranking officials who usually visited the road had suddenly disappeared. Afterwards, they discovered that a major change seemed to have occurred in the court. It would be an exaggeration to describe it as a reshuffle...
The changes at the top are so far removed from the lives of ordinary people that they have not caused major changes, and life remains the same.
After nearly ten days of paying homage to officials from all over the country, it was the turn of students and scholars from all over the country to offer incense and farewell to Mr. Deng.
There were too many students from all over the country, at least one million people. Of course, it was impossible for them all to go to Deng’s house to offer incense in Confucius Deng’s mourning hall. Most of them could only express their feelings on the street outside. Some representatives from various parties and outstanding
Only scholars have the opportunity to go to the mourning hall to offer incense.
Yunjing also wanted to offer incense to Deng Laoling as a scholar, and he was still in the first echelon. At this time, he was just one of the countless scholars in the world, not mixed with others.
On this day, Yunjing put on linen mourning clothes and headed towards the Deng family with Lin Xingyu who was also dressed in the same way. Seeing that Lin Xingyu was tense and a little nervous and at a loss, he comforted him: "Xingyu doesn't have to be nervous, he's promising."
My husband is here, stay with me, everything will be fine.”
"Ms. sir, after much thought, I still feel that something is wrong. After all, my status does not qualify me to go and offer incense before the funeral," Lin Xingyu said hesitantly.
Yun Jing said: "Although Xing Yu takes his heart to heart, Mr. Deng regards me as a junior, so it is natural for me to bring my family members there to offer incense and fulfill my filial piety. Besides, you and I are husband and wife. We are husbands."
You also know that you have to learn to adapt."
"My husband, I am a concubine," Lin Xingyu corrected, but he calmed down, thinking that yes, my husband is not an ordinary person, and he must learn to adapt.
The weather was sunny that day, but the area around Deng's house was completely white. More than 100,000 scholars in linen clothes gathered here. The atmosphere of sadness spread, countless people's eyes were red, and the ground was wet with tears.
The death of a wife who has devoted hundreds of years to the country is an uncontrollable grief for countless people.
The more than 100,000 scholars gathered here are just part of them, and the subsequent worship will last for many days.
The whole city was filled with grief, and many people were so sad that they almost fainted.
Yun Jing led Lin Xingyu from the route planned by the court to the gate of Deng's house. Hundreds of scholars in mourning robes had already gathered here, including representatives and outstanding talents from all over the country. Almost everyone was in tears.
The sharp-eyed steward of the Deng family recognized Yun Jing and immediately wanted to invite him in, but Yun Jing secretly shook his head and refused, and stood silently behind the crowd with Lin Xingyu.
The people in front went to burn incense with sadness. The procession moved forward little by little, and the sound of crying in the streets behind them was even louder.
When it was Yunjing's turn, there was nothing special. Like everyone else, they came to the funeral, kowtowed respectfully, and paused for a moment to look at the old man sleeping peacefully in front of him. Yunjing was filled with sadness and silently said to Mr. Deng, "Go away."
good.
In order not to delay others, Yunjing and Lin Xingyu left from another direction after the worship.
The Master is the Master of Dali, the spiritual support of countless scholars, and this time Yunjing is also a scholar, a member of all living beings, no different from anyone else. Although the Deng family had intentions, they did not treat him differently due to Yunjing's rejection.
.
Come silently, walk peacefully with sadness for the passing of your predecessors.
Although Mr. Deng has passed away, he will always live in people's hearts. History will never forget him. Even if the sea changes, his story will be passed down.
There is no doubt that in this year, and even in the following years, whether it was the Tongsheng Examination, the Scholarship Examination or even the Scholarship Examination, at least one-third of the content of the imperial examinations in Dali belonged to the official Deng Lao.
He left behind too many classics, articles and deeds, which are indelible traces of his existence in this world.
Some people remain unknown even if they live for a long time, and some people seem to have been alive even if they pass away...
Walking on the street, Yun Jing was silent as he thought of Mr. Deng's sleeping face.
Lin Xingyu hesitated several times, but couldn't help but comfort him: "I'm sorry, sir. It's hard for me to see you like this. Mr. Deng has lived for hundreds of years and passed away in his later years without any regrets. It was a happy death. You
He and other people are all he cares about, and he doesn't want people to feel sad for him after he leaves."
"Don't worry Xingyu, I'm fine. Birth, old age, illness and death are natural. It's just sad to lose someone close to you," Yun Jing said trying to calm down.
Lin Xingyu didn't know how to persuade him for a moment, so he could only accompany him silently.
Strolling on the street, a group of scholars wearing mourning clothes came forward, a long procession. Yun Jing led Lin Xingyu to the side of the street. They all went to say goodbye to Master Deng, and everyone looked sad.
"Brother Yun?" Someone in the team suddenly said after approaching Yun Jing. He was surprised, but his voice was a little choked. As he spoke, this person moved away from the team.
Yun Jing had already noticed him in the crowd, nodded and showed a rare smile: "Brother Ye, long time no see."
This person is Ye Tian. I haven’t seen him for a while. He has grown taller, matured a lot, and is a little more bookish. You don’t need to guess Yunjing to know that he went to Mr. Deng with the people from Qingniu Academy.
Offer incense and say goodbye.
"It's really you, Brother Yun. I thought I admitted my mistake. When did you come to the capital? You didn't even say hello. I'm still half a landlord now, so I should entertain Brother Yun well." Ye Tian was quite happy
Tao, temporarily forgetting the sadness.
Smiling, Yun Jing said: "Brother Ye considers himself a native of the capital. I have been in the capital for a while and have been busy, so I didn't bother you to study."
"Brother Yun, stop teasing me. Beijing is not my home. The small courtyard in Qingjiang City was more like my home." He shook his head and recalled.
He had been wandering around alone since he was a child. It was only after he met Yunjing that he finally had a direction in life and was no longer ignorant. Especially during his time in Qingjiang City, he truly felt the warmth of home and had already regarded Yunjing as a close relative.
Yunjing allowed him to study with peace of mind, so he worked hard without any hesitation. Every time he made some progress and achievements, he couldn't wait to write to Yunjing to share them.
Perhaps he himself didn't know how attached he was to Yunjing. Lonely people always yearn for a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and the appearance of Yunjing just made up for this.
Speaking of Qingjiang City, Yunjing joked: "By the way, Xiaotian, how are you and Fang Yueyue doing?"
"Of course it's good, we often stay up late together." When talking about Yueyue Yetian, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart, but a little shy.
Giving him a look like you're a kid, Yunjing looked at Lin Xingyu and said, "Xiaotian, this is Xingyu, as I said in the letter to you, I call you sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law," Ye Tian immediately saluted, but secretly gave Yunjing a look that said, "Brother, you are really awesome."
Lin Xingyu replied: "Brother Ye, I often hear my husband mention you. I didn't prepare a gift for the first meeting. I will definitely make up for it next time."
"You are my sister-in-law, so I should give you a gift... Oh, Brother Yun, they are all gone. Give me your address and I will go find you later." Ye Tian said, patting his forehead.
After leaving him the address, he ran away in a hurry. The most important thing at the moment was to burn incense for Mrs. Deng.
After he left, Lin Xingyu looked away and said: "Ms. sir, Brother Ye treats you very differently. I can feel it. He treats you as an elder."
"Well, actually he is also a poor person..." Yun Dingding nodded, but the next moment, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Ye Tian left in a hurry. As he walked, he bent down and picked up something from the ground. It was a beautiful jade pendant. It looked very valuable at first glance. He was patrolling around with the jade pendant, obviously to return it to the owner.
, but where can I find anyone? So I scratched my head and put it away for the time being and continued to leave.
Lin Xingyu: "..."
Looking at Yun Jing, she seemed to be saying, is this the poor man you are talking about?
Well, I also told him about Ye Tian's unreasonable good luck.
After this interruption, Yunjing calmed down. He looked up for a moment, then with a thought in his mind, he said: "Let's go, Xingyu, let's go sit in a teahouse two streets away."
"There are many teahouses around here, why would your husband go two streets away?" Lin Xingyu was immediately stunned.
Yunjing stepped forward and said: "If someone is implicated because of me, it's one thing if you don't meet them. If you do meet them, you will naturally help them solve the problem. Otherwise, you will always feel bad."
Lin Xingyu said nothing more and stepped to follow, feeling a little curious.
Two streets away, in a small old teahouse, a bearded man in black clothes was drinking tea silently, but he frowned slightly and was secretly wary of his surroundings. There was a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and he could clearly feel the gazes of some people around him.
They were all looking at him consciously or unconsciously. He was obviously more energetic after doing this, and his ghost lingered.
It stands to reason that it is normal for a strong man like him to drink, but the fact is that during the funeral of Master Deng, many people have restrained themselves, and drinking tea is the norm.
"Some people here are obviously here for me, but during Master's funeral, they don't dare to mess around in public," the bearded man said silently, and left in no hurry.
He was extremely confused. The guy ran away, but when he arrived, everyone was targeted. How could he reason with this?
"is it him?"
"Not sure, but 60% sure it's him!"
"I'm sure of 60%. After all, that guy is getting better and better at disguise. It's hard to recognize him. I can't let him go."
"Well, if we catch him, we have a high chance of luring him out and getting that thing!"
"Then when will we do it?"
"Don't worry, this matter should not be made public. It seems that someone is still targeting him. Besides, in this special period, it is not appropriate to do anything in public. Keep an eye on him and we will talk about it tonight..."
Some people in the teahouse were communicating secretly, and their eyes occasionally glanced at the bearded man drinking tea.
He himself felt the same and sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that he shouldn't have come, but after the Master passed away, he still had to do his part even though he was a member of the world, but he should have avoided the crowd, so he ended up in trouble.
bingo.
But how long has this been going on, and those people are still holding on to me? Well, as for that thing, as long as it doesn't appear for a day, I won't let it go for ten or eight years. However, I try to be careful, and I still fall into it countless times.
Crisis, will we be able to escape with good luck next time?
The atmosphere in the tea house was subtle, so Yun Jing brought Lin Xingyu here.
Their arrival attracted people's attention a little, but after one glance, they didn't care anymore. Wei Wei felt sour in his heart and secretly thought that he didn't know which young man brought the beauty to travel. There were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital. God knows what the other party's background was, so it was better not to look at them too much.
Yunjing led Lin Xingyu straight to the table of bearded men.
His back was to Yunjing and the others, and when he heard the footsteps approaching, his heart immediately tightened, thinking that someone couldn't hold back anymore. He was alert and ready to run away at any time, and then looked behind him with his peripheral vision while drinking tea.
At one glance, he was stunned for a moment, and two words kept flashing in his mind, is it him? Is it him?
The two words 'it's him' have completely different meanings. The first one is him. He recognized Yun Jing because he had declined his invitation to go to Burial Sword Mountain together. The second one was him, and it was about the recent confrontation with him.
The spread of cloud scenery, the cloud scenery in the mythical realm!
Are the two Yunjings the same person?
But even if the Yun Jing he knew really stepped into the mythical realm, so what if he could only be a friend, not to mention that after stepping into the mythical realm, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to appear in front of him.
While he was thinking a lot, Yun Jing came to him with Lin Xingyu.
Yun Jing slapped him on the shoulder and said happily: "Brother You, we meet again, why are you dressed like this? You don't want to have the image of a good boy, but you are acting like a macho man?"
This person is exactly Youxiao in disguise. After he ran away from Burial Sword Mountain, he was implicated by 'Wang Dachui'. This guy was chased and intercepted all over the world. I don't know how he managed to hide until now, but it certainly wasn't a wonderful journey.
.
Although You Xiao had been alert for a long time when he heard the sound, he still couldn't avoid Yun Jing's hand on his shoulder. Hearing this, his face changed, he raised his head with a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "What a coincidence, Brother Yun."
, but you are hurting me."
At this moment, he wanted to die. Yun Jing's words about "Brother You" were tantamount to directly revealing his identity. At this moment, pairs of eyes like evil wolves around him looked over.
Yunjing sat down directly, looked at You Xiao and raised his eyebrows happily: "Brother You, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
As soon as these words came out, You Xiao's eyes suddenly widened. These words, "I'll protect you," were unforgettable in his mind. He thought that those words had caused him to be like a rat crossing the street for so long.
But then he realized, why did Yunjing know this sentence? Especially this look and tone...
"You are the king..." You Xiao almost blurted out, but quickly realized something and stopped quickly.
Smiling, Yunjing admitted frankly: "Isn't it obvious? Yes, it's me."
"You..." You Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment, but at this moment he was thinking about how to escape. He and 'Wang Dachui' appeared at the same time. Who knows how many people swarmed in. I'm afraid no one else will be alive today.
If you leave, it will involve the Emperor's Sword, and the court will personally end it!
Obviously knowing what he was worried about, Yun Jing said with a smile: "Don't worry, they say I'm protecting you, just keep it in your heart. After I talked, laughed and drank tea with you, I think no one will bother you again in the future."
Okay, okay, your image is so ugly, it’s better to change back to your appearance from afar."
You Xiao was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't care that Yun Jing was Wang Dachui. What he wanted was that he was in the mood to joke without running away right now?
Unless this cloudscape is that cloudscape!
With this thought in his mind, You Xiao suddenly calmed down. Yes, Yun Jing from the Mythical Realm was talking and drinking tea with him in front of him. Who would dare to cause trouble in the future?
