Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

His brows were bright, his eyes were clear, and his words were filled with sincerity, which seemed to reveal his sincerity, making Lu Qing really feel it.

Wu Mu explained to Lu Qing: "Gu originally met Mr. Xiang during the battle with the King of Han. He couldn't bear to see that Mr. Xiang was so talented, but like a pearl covered in dust. Gu really wanted to treat Mr. Xiang as a sergeant, and was even willing to work with him. Sir, we became brothers..."

Wu Mu's words were very sincere, coupled with his awkward Qingyi dialect.

After a few words, Lu Qing already trusted him three points in her heart, and was no longer frightened. She reluctantly relaxed, and her straight back was slightly arched.

But familiarity is familiarity.But for Wu Mu's warm and generous treatment, Lu Qing only felt that the happiness was too violent, and it was so violent that it was unreal.

Dreamy
Like a flower in a mirror or a moon in the water.

If it weren't for the pain in the parts of his body that were originally bound, Lu Qing would have almost thought that this was a dream, and it was an obsessive and fascinating dream.

After all, he has rarely had a few good days in his life.

Not to mention meeting a lord who...at least seems reliable.

When he was under the command of the King of Han, he complained in his heart about the King of Han's dragging his feet and his bad temper.

He is simply a reckless man who does not look like a wise king.

But...now...did he really...meet Master Ming?
Seeing that Lu Qingshang still looked hesitant, Wu Mu knew that he couldn't get too close.

"Sir, your body has not recovered yet. Please rest first. Wu Mu will come see you tomorrow."

As he said this, he smiled kindly at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing was dazzled by his smile, and felt even more like a dream that was not like reality.Even if it was a dream, he had never dreamed of this scene.

After Wu Mu finished speaking, he carefully gave some instructions to the attendants around him, asking them to take good care of the distinguished guest.

After saying this, he left the room.

Lu Qing, who was stunned and had not recovered yet, was left in the room, as were the guards who stood by him respectfully and quietly, like wooden figures.

"Sir, would you like to serve some food to fill your stomach?"

The waiter who had been waiting for a long time carefully asked the question while catching the guest's eyes and expression.

"Ah... thank you for your hard work."

Lu Qing listened to the attendant's awkward Daxia words and responded blankly, as if he had not yet recovered from the situation.

……

Jiang Sile and a group of people were able to gallop north on this journey. They set off with the caravan. Most of the time they relied on the caravan's management. They were able to move very quickly through each pass without wasting much time. .

But even so, it was still a step too late.

God always fails to fulfill people's wishes.

Just when Jiang Sile and his party followed the caravan to the city gate of Kyoto and accepted the verification from the city gate officials, the bell in the palace was already ringing.

This bell cannot be rung at will. Unless the emperor ascends the throne or passes away, the bell will not be rung easily. Of course, when other high-status figures pass away, the bell will sometimes be rung, but the number of bells is different.

But apart from the Queen, the only one who has the qualification to be ringed is the Queen Mother.

Looking back on these days, I have never heard of the Queen being weak, but His Majesty is even more powerful, and he is a young man.

On the contrary, there were frequent reports that the Queen Mother was unwell.

Under such circumstances, as long as they think about it for a moment, people will lower their heads and look sad.

It was the Queen Mother who passed away.

Jiang Sile stood at the city gate, suddenly feeling confused.

She wanted to...to see the mother of this body for the last time, but now, after all, it was a step too late.

If it had been a day earlier...even an hour...Jiang Sile clenched her fists, and the wave of regret overwhelmed her.

Jiang Sile originally thought that she didn't care much about this woman who had sent someone to assassinate her. Even if she had an impression, it would be indifference and disgust.

Although she is Princess Anle's mother, she is not hers.

Logically speaking, she didn't have to regret or feel sad for this person.

But now, thousands of thoughts and emotions are flowing and boiling in her heart, and she can't control it.

When Jiang Sile slowly walked out of this emotional swamp, she felt that her face was dry. When she raised her hand, she realized that her face was wet with tears at the city gate.

At this time, the guards guarding the city called them forward without being rude, and the bell slowly stopped ringing only after half the incense stick.

The people at the city gate twitched their ears and looked at the red palace wall. Some people felt lonely, while others continued to move forward.

A Yishi was the first to notice something was wrong with Jiang Sile. He was born in Qingyi and did not seem to know what the bell meant, but this did not delay his acumen and his actions.

A Yishi helped Jiang Sile get out of the carriage, and after the city gate guards checked the caravan for about an incense, they were able to enter the city.

Qiaodu is as lively as ever. It is the capital of Daxia and the most prosperous and wealthy place in the Central Plains.

Even Jiangzhou, where merchants gathered in the south, where red flags were waving, pink clothes were fragrant and fragrant, could not match the beauty of this capital.

The bell that just rang in the distance did not affect the hurried pedestrians in the city, whether in brocade or commoner clothes; nor did it affect the smiling, beaming waiters who were welcoming businessmen; nor did it affect the red-faced waiters. The light, or the frowning accounting clerk, does not affect the hurried hawker carrying his burden.

In the city, there were novice monks with smiles and gentle ears, and there were also beggars lying beside the wall, screaming miserably and begging.

There were students and officials from other places who came to the capital to settle down, and there were also wealthy young men who were born and raised in Kyoto.

The horseman on horseback was dressed elegantly in red, and the guests in the high-rise building exchanged glasses and expressed their sincere feelings to each other.

It seems that everyone here is well-dressed, even farmers can wear unpatched clothes.

In addition, people in the capital seem to be more unruly than those in other places.

Everyone who raises his head should be raised half a point higher.

After all, the people who live here are all noble people.It is said that when a brick is thrown in Kyoto and hits ten people, seven of them are big shots that cannot be offended, and the remaining three also have masters/relatives that ordinary people cannot offend.

When it comes to hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it seems that nowhere can compare to Kyoto.

Feng shui in Kyoto nourishes people, and those who are raised are wealthy people.

The adults in the official uniforms on the small sedan chair would probably be admired and flattered by everyone in ordinary prefectures and counties, but in Kyoto, it was commonplace.

Because within the red palace wall not far away, lived the most noble men and women in the world.

The power they hold is much greater than that of people wearing this official uniform, which is the highest mountain above ten thousand mountains and the highest peak above ten thousand peaks.

There is an old saying: One moment of anger makes the princes fearful, one moment of breath brings peace to the world.The so-called highest power is nothing more than this.

After entering the city, they followed Jiang Sile and his party and parted ways according to the original agreement.The people from the caravan gave A Yishi an address and said they could take them with them when they left.

Jiang Sile got off the carriage, stamped his feet, and adjusted his sleeves.After taking her to calm down, she managed to suppress the chaotic mood in her heart, and then she led a group of them out of the street near the city gate.

The first place she went to was Princess Anhe's Mansion.

This is why Jiang Sile said that there are people in Beijing who can help them.

Princess Anle Jiang Mingchan, whom she called eldest sister, was the eldest daughter of the late emperor and now the eldest sister of the new emperor.

Of course, she is also Jiang Sile’s half-sister.

After all, the blood relationship is free, and Jiang Sile doesn't need it in vain.Following the relationship between An and the princess, she could enter the palace quietly and outside Jiang Yi's control.This was also Jiang Sile's original plan.

Besides, this Princess Anhe, her eldest sister owes her a huge favor!

Thinking of this, Jiang Sile snorted coldly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his dark eyes.

If it weren't for Jiang Mingchan, I'm afraid Jiang Sile's trip to Qingyi wouldn't have been so smooth.
This was thanks to the secret operation of her good sister, who first threatened the King of Jin with Aunt Deyi and asked the King of Jin to "borrow grain" to the court.

Secondly, overtly and covertly, he relieved the burden on the old emperor's heart and spoke small words of 'ease'.

Jiang Sile already knew these things when she was working with King Jin. King Jin made it clear to her about the specific messages and operations, and sold Jiang Mingchan completely.

Even so, Jiang Sile still couldn't bear any hatred towards this eldest sister.

It can only be said that in that situation, Princess Anhe, Jiang Mingchan, was also a pitiful person.

Jiang Sile could only admire her for being able to do such a thing despite her still-pregnant body.

After all, even Jiang Sile herself would definitely refuse to get married if she were in her current position at that time, but whether she could do what Princess Anle does now is also a matter of course.

Jiang Sile felt that she did not have Jiang Mingchan's ability to manipulate people's minds. Her eldest sister was also a talented person who could observe people's emotions and manipulate people inside and outside the palace.

But that doesn't mean that all the things she did have been written off in Jiang Sile's mind.

Now is the time for her to repay the favor and return the favor.

Just like that, Jiang Sile led a group of people and rushed straight into Princess Anhe's mansion.

She didn't plan to wait for someone to pass on the message, after all, she planned to give her eldest sister a surprise.

As Jiang Sile expected, the guards at the Princess Mansion were still the same, and it was very easy to rush into the inner courtyard.

Don't look at the guards of the palace. They are wearing armor and have their swords drawn out of their scabbards. However, they dare not attack unless they receive an order from their master.Now it's just harsh words and threats.

Jiang Sile heard these experiences from the former commander of the Beijing camp, and now he should learn from them.

Li Yancheng smiled and said to Jiang Sile at the time, "The capital is no better than other places. Who knows whether the desperate ghost he killed has a powerful father? No one can say for sure. Some noble people just like to dress simple.

These are the losses suffered by previous generations.Now, unless His Majesty has an imperial edict or oral instruction, or the master himself says it, who dares to say that a white knife goes in and a red knife comes out?

That's even more trouble.The more wealthy the family, the more wary they are of these things. "

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Sile dared to break into her eldest sister's princess mansion with less than ten people.

Even if this is not accurate, with the current skills of her guards, there is no need to panic to protect her.

After entering the inner courtyard, Jiang Sile was very calm in the face of the guards with swords drawn, and she spoke frankly that she wanted to see the owner of the mansion.

The guards surrounded them and went to deliver the message.

But the first person who hurriedly arrived was not Princess Anhe Jiang Mingchan, but the eldest sister's husband and Princess Anhe's consort, Ji Tingfan.

Jiang Sile had never seen this person before in this life, and the two of them had never met.Maybe I saw it on the first day of time travel?But at that time Jiang Sile was still busy with his own life affairs and didn't know the consort yet.

Although she didn't know him, Princess Anle had met him in her memory.

Jiang Sile stood calmly and calmly in the center of the courtyard with his men. The swords drawn by the guards of the Princess Palace around him were shining with cold light.

"Brother-in-law, long time no see."

Jiang Sile said happily.

Her words made Ji Tingfan, who was walking quickly, almost stumble and lose his balance.

Ji Tingfan's eyes widened, as if he was identifying the person coming.

After a moment, his lips trembled and he shouted in surprise: "Are you - Anle?"

As soon as he said this, Jiang Mingchan, who had just stepped into the courtyard, couldn't help but quicken his pace.

She was still in the courtyard just now, holding her son in her arms.But suddenly there was news that someone had broken into the house, so she left her son with the wet nurse and came here to see the situation.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he heard that the consort had surrounded the people and started talking nonsense.

"What? Anle?"

Jiang Mingchan was about to refute what the consort said. Everyone knew about Princess Anle's marriage, so how could she come to her mansion now and barge in?

But Jiang Sile's voice disappeared in shock the next second. She saw the people surrounded by the nursing home. The woman who was the leader...how did she look exactly like Anle.

"Sister, long time no see, why don't you treat me well?"

Seeing the dull expressions of the couple, Jiang Sile twitched his lips, but he didn't even smile.

Hearing Jiang Sile's name and tone, the couple An and Princess recovered from their sluggishness.

It should be that Anle ran away without any trace.

But "You shouldn't be in Qingyi, why are you here?"

The prince-in-law couldn't bear his temper and asked the question first with a surprised look on his face.

Before Jiang Sile had time to answer, he heard his eldest sister Jiang Mingchan hurriedly came over and said, "Don't mention these things for now. I'm afraid the palace... I think you may be here for this. Quickly, change your clothes and I'll hand them over." Brand, we will enter the palace in a moment."

Fortunately, Princess Anhe, who had made Anle suffer for two lifetimes, revealed her purpose in one sentence.

The consort hurriedly responded: "I am confused. Your Highness will go change clothes first. I will arrange the carriage right away."

As he spoke, he angrily scolded the guard who was still holding the knife, "Put away all the knives quickly to avoid accidentally injuring the noble man."

The guards then put away their knives and followed the orders and left the courtyard. (End of chapter)
