Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 155 is just a dream
"I thought you were a sensible person." That was the first thing the emperor said when he saw Qin Zheng.

It was the emperor's order for people to kidnap Xie Jinhua, but if the emperor wanted to, even if Qin Zheng knew, he should follow his own will and let Xie Jinhua be taken away by his own people.

"Qin Zheng, I have given you a lot. If you let me take her away, I won't hurt her hair, but I will give you more. You shouldn't be surprised."

The emperor's eyes were full of disappointment.

The emperor is promising that Qin Zheng can give him more, and even the next emperor will continue to give him everything he has now, more power, provided that Qin Zheng must always be under control.

To control Qin Zheng, there is no more suitable hostage than Xie Jinhua.

The emperor felt that he had no intention of hurting Xie Jinhua.

As long as Qin Zheng remains honest, Xie Jinhua will be safer than anyone else.

Qin Zheng didn't make a sound. Silence sometimes means disapproval or resistance.

"The imperial decree for bestowing marriage in my hand has already been written, is this how you repay me in the end?"

Qin Zheng's silence caused the emperor's eyes to smear with anger, and he threw the bright yellow imperial decree that had already been written in front of him and was short of a big seal, and threw it in front of Qin Zheng.

The imperial decree was open, and Qin Zheng could see most of the contents inside.

It contains my own name and Xie Jinhua's name, it is indeed like the emperor said, this time, it is a real marriage decree.

No more oral instructions, no more purposeful delays.

Qin Zheng half-kneeled on the ground: "It is the minister who has failed His Majesty Long En, but everything I have done is to keep the one I love safe and happy. If you really allow His Majesty to take the painting away, everything I have been fighting for all this time will be lost. What's the point?"

Qin Zheng didn't lie to the emperor that he didn't care about Xie Jinhua anymore.

Such a lie can't even fool other people, let alone the emperor who has seen it all the way.

Qin Zheng lowered his head, and his voice was extraordinarily firm: "I know that without His Majesty's permission, I can't completely get Hua'er out of this chaotic quagmire, and I can't let Hua'er go far away, and I can't bear to let her just do that." Abandon everything and become a desperate person. But at least, please give me a grace, don't let me push the beloved into a deeper quagmire with my own hands. The court affairs are a battle between men and have nothing to do with women."

Qin Zheng's words contained some accusations against the emperor, and the emperor's face was gloomy: "The reserve position is related to the future of Daqing, and it is closely related to everyone in Daqing. In Daqing, no one can stay out of it."

"Qin Zheng, I am optimistic about your ability, and I also believe in your loyalty. As long as you personally hand over Xie Jinhua to my hands, I am willing to continue to trust you and reuse it. The successors I am optimistic about will also let you Always have a place in the court.”

"As long as you are loyal, it is not impossible to be an extremely human minister."

The emperor looked at Qin Zheng and tried his best to persuade him.

It's just that in the depths of his eyes, there is already a murderous intent emerging.

He pulled Qin Zheng up with one hand.

The power in Qin Zheng's hands is in the hands of the opponent bit by bit.

But Qin Zheng controlled these forces and developed the speed and ability of these forces, which he did not expect.

If the emperor is in good health, he can continue to use Qin Zheng, but he is already old, but Qin Zheng is in full swing.

He cherishes talents, he values ​​Qin Zheng's ability, but he is even more worried that Qin Zheng will not be able to control himself in the future, and will become a thorn that his successors cannot remove.

So many old ministers and emperors have already been pulled out by Qin Zheng's hands. If necessary, the emperor doesn't mind going ahead and help his successors pull out Qin Zheng's thorn with his own hands.

The emperor's fingers moved, and he held a pen in his hand, which was not stained with cinnabar.

A cold atmosphere began to permeate the hall, and Qin Zheng felt that the skin all over his body could feel the tingling pain.

He knew it was murderous.

Around this hall, enough people had already been ambushed. As long as the emperor made up his mind, Qin Zheng would not be able to leave here today.

Qin Zheng's heart slowly cooled down.

"Your Majesty, Xie Jinhua is more important than the life of the minister. I can't comply with your majesty's words, but I am willing to pay for my merits and help your majesty get rid of the confidant's troubles in your heart."

Qin Zheng raised his head, the expression in his eyes was calm and steady, with determination.

"Oh? What's wrong with me?"

"I am the Son of Heaven who owns the world."

The pen in the emperor's hand, which was about to be thrown out, was held again, and Qin Zheng's murderous aura, which had been condensed to the extreme, eased for a moment.

"The news came from the front line that General Baili has defeated the Wutu tribe and the Xiyuan Allied Forces, and captured more than [-] people. In a few days, the people who asked for merit at the border should come before His Majesty. This is the past ten years. Another big victory for the family, and this time, Major General Baili personally beheaded Hu Yanhao, the commander of the Wutu tribe, shot and wounded General Meng Yuanchi of the Xiyuan Right Army, and led his Baili army to ambush the coalition camp. Bianguan only knew about Baili's family, but not His Majesty. If this battle spreads to the capital, the whole world would only know about Baili's family, not His Majesty."

Qin Zheng lowered his eyes and his voice was a bit cold.

The emperor's face was stiff, and he said for a long while, "Qin Zheng, I remember that you and Bailifeng still have to go together all the way, and keep Xuzhou together."

The emperor did not refute what Qin Zheng said, but suddenly asked another question.

".Bai Lifeng once asked his beloved to marry him."

With just such a sentence, the emperor believed seventy percent of what Qin Zheng said just now.

There are many terrible things a man can do when he is jealous.

The emperor came from here, and Qin Zheng's feelings for Xie Jinhua were not fake, so he believed that Qin Zheng really wanted to help him get rid of this serious trouble.

Yes, it’s a big worry, the Baili family is the head of the military generals of the Daqing Dynasty. More than ten years ago, the Baili family repelled the provocation of the Xiyuan Dynasty, and they have let the world, and the court and the central army are full of Baili family’s supporters. On the other hand, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, the Baili family's reputation is too high, and the military power in their hands is too great, as long as he is the emperor, as long as he sits in that seat, he can't help worrying.

Worrying that one day, the members of the Baili family will no longer be loyal and rebel.

After so many years, there was no war at the border. The emperor always left Baili and his son idle at the border, as if he had forgotten them. He thought that he could control the army in this way, slowly eating away year after year, and slowly emptying the father and son with his own people. .

But when the war broke out again, all the good plans of the emperor were in vain, what was devoured by whales, what was replaced by his own people, when the Wutu tribe and the Xiyuan coalition army came to fight, only Baili and his son could go into battle.

The other generals that the emperor has been promoting are the best generals. None of them are handsome.

The emperor asked Qin Zheng to deal with so many courtiers who were disobedient or who had gone too far in his own name, in order to leave a stable and clean seat for his successor.

How could he forget Baili's family, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't do anything.

Baili's family is in full swing now, even the emperor can't deal with them on trumped-up charges.

He couldn't deal with the Baili family by himself, and none of his loyal people wanted to share his worries.

Everyone can see this clearly.

Even if the emperor really wanted to dispose of the Baili family, if anyone really helped the emperor dispose of the Baili family, the final result would be to be buried with the Baili family.

No one dares to offend the wrath of the world,
As for Qin Zheng, listening to his words, the emperor suddenly felt that there was no one better than Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng has enough reasons to help him deal with the Baili family, and has enough skills to compete with the Baili family.

There is also enough reason for him to desperately do this disgraceful thing.

"Come on, give me a seat."

The emperor put down the pen in his hand, and gave instructions to Li Quan who was always silent by his side.

The granting of the seat already represented the emperor's answer, and there was a trace of cold irony in Qin Zheng's drooping eyebrows, for the emperor on the high seat.

At this moment, he no longer has the slightest gratitude in his heart for the emperor who single-handedly promoted him.

-

"I didn't expect Master Qin to understand His Majesty's heart so well. This time, when I go to the border area, my subordinates will follow His Majesty's lead in everything I do. I hope Your Majesty will take care of me."

The person beside Qin Zheng was sent by the emperor to assist him. His name was Ying Li. He was in his thirties. He looked extremely capable and always had a smile on his face.

Qin Zheng had never seen him before, and it was said that he was serving as a servant in the Ministry of War.

It's just the aura of the other party, but he was vaguely familiar with it, and it was similar to the aura of those secret guard killers who blocked Xie Jinhua and Zheng Yanhe outside the capital, but were beheaded by him in the end.

That feeling was very faint, but Qin Zheng believed that he did not admit his mistake. It is estimated that the secret guards belonging to the emperor, except for the professional assassins, were all distributed in the court and the public. Compared with the Vermilion Bird Guards, most of them were distributed among the common people of all religions and ranks, it was even more terrifying. some.

Qin Zheng glanced at each other between the other's words and smiles: "You and I are both working for His Majesty, there is no need for anyone to follow the other's lead, as long as we cooperate with each other and share the worries for Your Majesty."

Ying Li felt that Qin Zheng didn't look like a person of this age, and the sophistication and tightness he showed were really impressive.

For a moment, he smiled more kindly at Qin Zheng.

-

Qin Zheng looked at the distant sky with an unpredictable expression, getting farther and farther away from the capital, and also farther away from Xie Jinhua.

Between him and her, there is always less gathering and more separation, and they always have to separate for one reason or another.

With his lips pursed tightly, Qin Zheng suddenly caught a leaf falling from the treetop, curled it slightly, and brought it closer to his lips.

A sobbing ditty rang out.

That is miss.

He stood under the moonlight, playing a song repeatedly, and the moonlight reflected on half of his face, which was as cold and cold as the color of snow. In a trance, he felt extraordinarily lonely.

The eyes of the people around him fell on him unconsciously.

Ying Li chuckled, half of his vigilance towards Qin Zheng was quietly dissipated. No matter how deep the city is, it is a young man after all.

-

The young man's stern face was stained with blood. He stood on the mountain of bones and corpses, surrounded by enemies holding swords and bows. They looked at him with fear in their eyes, but also pride.

So what if it's great?He was about to die, this terrible enemy was going to die after all.

The young man held a sword in his hand, and the long sword was stained bright red with blood, with the blood of the enemy and more of his own blood.

His body was pierced by long arrows, bright red spread all over his body, those eyes that were always gazing at her wholeheartedly, lost all their spirit at this moment, in a trance, there was only a sense of reluctance.

Who is not willing to part with?

What are you not happy about?
Xie Jinhua sat up abruptly, looked out the window, just now in his sleep, he vaguely heard a strange sound, sobbing, which made people feel depressed and uncomfortable, but when he listened again at this moment, he could only hear the sound of whirling leaves.

"what happened?"

Zheng Qianqiu knocked on the door outside, he was sleeping next to Xie Jinhua, very vigilant.

Xie Jinhua's sudden movement of turning over made him anxiously come over to check.

"nothing."

Xie Jin's expression was a little sad, for some reason, his heart was always uncomfortable.

Zheng Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief outside: "Can't sleep? I have a calming pill here, or I'll take it for you and take it. Girls must have enough sleep."

"Father, is there any news about Qin Zheng?"

Xie Jinhua asked suddenly.

Zheng Qianqiu's fingers trembled: "He? I heard that he was sent to the border by the emperor. The Baili family won the battle, and the emperor sent his confidants to reward him."

"I won"

Xie Jinhua smiled, this should be good news, after all she is from Daqing, she should be happy, but her heart is still depressed.

She put her hand on her heart: "Father, I was startled by a dream just now, and I'm much better now. Go back and rest."

It was just a dream.

It's just that he thinks day by day and dreams at night, because of Qin Zheng's ending in his previous life, he suddenly dreams of this kind of scene.

But this night, Xie Jinhua never fell asleep and closed his eyes.

-

"I have made an agreement with King Rui that King Qi will be assassinated in a few days. I am not sure whether my people can really kill him, but it will definitely not make him feel better. And your majesty's body, if King Qi If you are assassinated, you will collapse quickly if you think about it.”

"At that time, with King Rui's seizure of power, there will be chaos inside and outside the capital for a while. Take advantage of the chaos and take my sister away from here. I will solve all my worries in the future and will definitely pick up my sister."

Zheng Qianqiu put away the cloth in his hand, the petite characters on it were Qin Zheng's final confession, he had already left the capital, and went to the border gate to reward the three armies for his majesty.

From the words on the cloth, Zheng Qianqiu felt that Qin Zheng's departure must be uneasy.

It's just that the only thing he can do now is not to ask Qin Zheng what he wants to do, but to take Xie Jinhua out of the capital safely as soon as possible.

I just hope that the time of chaos that Qin Zheng mentioned will come as soon as possible.

I also hope that Qin Zheng will come to pick up Xie Jinhua safely, as he said.
