After two years of absence, the original Jinyiwei Qianhu has been transformed into a deputy commander of Jinyiwei. In recent years, although Jiang Xuening was far away from the capital, he still heard a few rumors about Jin Yiwei.
It's no different from the previous one.
The emperor's sword, the powerful lackey, the means are ruthless and resolute. The difference is that in the last life, his backer was Jiang Xuening, but this life seems to have changed.
Dark blue brocade uniforms are embroidered with dark auspicious beasts, clouds and thunder patterns, which are hard to tell. But the embroidered spring knife on his waist clearly showed his identity.
Over the years, the position has been higher, and people look more and more calm.
There is already a bit of power in the grasp.
It was just that when he arrived in the hall, he was completely arrogant, putting on a gesture of humility and congratulations.
Jiang Xuening was stunned when she heard his name.
At this moment, seeing this person enter the hall with his own eyes, his heart trembled even more. However, the hall is such a big place. If Zhou Yinzhi came all the way from the capital and heard some rumors when he entered Xinzhou, he should have guessed that she was here, but he couldn't avoid it, so he might as well be calm.
Xie Wei, Lv Xian and others suddenly saw this "uninvited guest", they knew that their side was not attacking the Tartars for the sake of the family, the country and the world, and they kept their thoughts in silence; I don't know even half a minute, and when the imperial court specially sent an imperial messenger to come, it was the saint who got the news of the great victory against the Tatars and wanted to reward them, so instead of being surprised, he was full of surprises, and his attitude was particularly enthusiastic.
Zhou Yinzhi may not be known to the frontier generals, but Xie Wei, Yan Lin, Jiang Xuening and others do.
For a moment no one spoke.
Shen Zhiyi sat up high, her eyes flickered slightly, she opened her mouth to speak, but she glanced at Xie Wei next to her, and then closed her mouth again.
The atmosphere in the field seemed a little subtle.
At the end, Xie Wei laughed first and said, "Commander Zhou is polite. He came from the capital a long way, just in time for the celebration banquet. Come, please take your seat, Lord Zhou."
Then everyone chatted with Zhou Yinzhi.
Jiang Xuening was also in the seat, and because he was sitting next to Shen Zhiyi, his position was quite conspicuous. After Zhou Yinzhi and Yan Lin passed the ceremony, they saw her almost at a glance, not knowing whether it was true or not, he was slightly taken aback, but he also said to her: "I didn't expect the second girl to be here, and I haven't seen her for two years."
In the last life, Zhou Yinzhi was a dog she kept, not a kind person, and she could use all means to climb up.
When Yan's house was raided, he had one-third of his strength.
Later, after changing the owner several times, he clings to her again, and then he goes to Shen Jie to do those things that must be done for the imperial court and are not very pleasant.
In terms of ability, it's definitely not bad.
It's a pity that during her fight with Xiao Shu, the dog bit her in turn, making her fall into a doomed place and even more implicated Zhang Zha.
In this life, Wen Jieyu kept the child in her womb and gave birth to a prince smoothly.
Shen Lang did not die mysteriously either.
Therefore, Shen Jie was still the king of Linzi, and he was not established as "the emperor's younger brother", let alone ascended the throne. The person Zhou Yinzhi served was naturally replaced by Shen Lang, who is now in power. And Shen Lang has a sullen temperament and mediocre government affairs, so he is good at playing with the emperor's balance. It can be said that compared with Shen Jie, who later ascended the throne in his previous life, he naturally trusts and values this confidant who can do any dirty work more highly.
Jiang Xuening had been away from Beijing for two years, and he didn't want people in the capital to notice his whereabouts, so he almost cut off communication there, and even Jiang's house didn't bother to send back a few letters.
Such her, Yu Zhou Yinzhi's career is naturally no longer helpful.
Earlier, I heard that he would often go to Jiang's house. Later, he became more highly regarded by the emperor and held the sole power in Jinyiwei. Jiang Boyou was a small servant of the household department. When he met him, he had to show more respect, and gradually he never heard of him. what moved.
She was always on guard and vigilant about this person, even though she had used him to secretly remind Yan Lin, rectify Qingyuan Uncle Mansion, and even rescue You Fangyin, she never dared to trust him completely.
It has been two years since then, and their identities are different.
Jiang Xuening naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to treat each other with the previous attitude, but returned with a smile that was neither warm nor cold: "I haven't seen you for two years, congratulations to Sir Zhou on your smooth progress and a much higher rise."
Everyone in the circle has seen the ceremony, and this is the real seat.
Zhou Yinzhi sent the news of the good news from Chen Shi's border back to the capital, the Sacred Heart was overjoyed, and the dragon face was delighted. He also said that the Houfu of Yongyi can finally return to the capital, and Master Xie's rear planning has also made great contributions.
Completely ignorant of the truth!
It seems that Yan Lin did not leave the place of exile without permission, and it seems that his acquisition of military power was not a decree, but the emperor's will. Even the royal family's original attitude of indifference to Shen Zhiyi and unscrupulousness seemed to never exist. .
Everything is thunder and rain, the grace of God is mighty!
You must know that the group of people headed by Yan Lin in the open and Xie Wei in the secret, etc., are actually doing things in rebellion, but Zhou Yinzhi sat down and talked and laughed with them...
This courage, even Xie Wei has to praise.
It's just that he has a strange calmness and tranquility compared to the uneasiness that others feel deeply surprised and eerie. After all, after the battle, the attitude of the court was what he expected.
Jiang Xuening could not help but be surprised at first, but after calming down and thinking carefully, he understood the key point—
The border battle has already settled, and there is a foregone conclusion.
The Tartar wolf's ambition, since he had the intention to kill Shen Zhiyi, will definitely attack the big gun in the coming year. Now that the first war has been won, the whole country is boiling. Yanlin, the prince of the former Yongyi Houfu, took charge of the military as a guilt, rescued the princess, and pacified the Tartars. He was even more famous and praised by the people.
Even the emperor received many accolades.
On the other hand, in the imperial court, the celestial religion is in chaos, and it is secretly watching, which can be called "crisis everywhere".
Shen Lang naturally knew that the people at the border gate were deceiving the king and plotting rebellion.
But revealing this fact would do him no good. One could not help confirming the rumors that the royal family was cold-blooded, which violated the teachings of the filial sages and lost the people's hearts; the other was that there were 100,000 troops stationed at the border. If the external troubles of the court have not been eliminated, how can you add internal worries to yourself
It would be better to be vain and arrogant, and push the boat with the current.
Since you and other rebels dare to claim that you have received the imperial decree, I, the emperor, dare to pretend that I have issued this imperial decree myself, and I will turn the fake into the truth, but I will win the hearts of the people and ease the situation.
You can even send Zhou Yinzhi to the border to invite people to buy people's hearts.
With the emperor's attention and high-ranking officials in sight, who would risk beheading to commit a rebellion
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuening raised his eyes and looked at the person in the seat again, staggering and smiling, but who didn't pretend to understand and pretend to be confused
Then suddenly felt a cold air trickling down.
She didn't interrupt, just listened to the crowd.
In the past two years, Zhou Yinzhi has become more and more long-sleeved and good at dancing. Not only can he chat and laugh with Xie Wei, Yan Lin and others, but even You Fangyin and Ren Weizhi who are sitting next to him have noticed, and said with a smile: "When we parted in prison, I have never seen Miss You again. Now that you have a good marriage, and you are rich, you are truly a godly companion."
Ren Weizhi was not familiar with Zhou Yinzhi.
You Fangyin suffered from You Yue's torture back then, but she really deserved Zhou Yinzhi's care. Even the abacus that she learned to calculate accounts was found by Zhou Yinzhi's envoys. She is a person who remembers her kindness, but she is sincerely grateful: "Thank you, Lord Zhou. Back then, I took great care to take care of it, but it was just a humble businessman Jia Moliu, and I didn't get the chance to express my gratitude. This cup, I will honor Lord Zhou."
She really brought a glass of wine to toast.
Most of the people didn't know their past, but seeing that Zhou Yinzhi even knew You Fangyin, they couldn't help but look at it a bit higher.
Jiang Xuening felt a little uneasy for some reason.
Zhou Yinzhi had come from the capital, while Shen Zhiyi had been in Tartar for two years. The journey was a long way, and he almost knew nothing about the situation in the palace. He couldn't help but ask questions during the banquet, and Zhou Yinzhi also explained them one by one.
Only then did Jiang Xuening know that there were many changes in the capital.
Those old people also have their own experiences.
Jiang Xuehui married Shen Jie and became a side concubine. She was dignified and virtuous and helped to take care of all the household affairs in the Linzi palace. At first, she was quite fond of Shen Jie. Even though Fang Miao was a concubine, she was born from a small family, and she was a genius. She didn't have the same temperament as Shen Jie. They quarreled and quarreled for three days, making the dignified king of Linzi so angry.
Beijing thought that the backyard of the palace should belong to Jiang Xuehui.
Unexpectedly, after such a year of tossing and turning, the love and affection that was originally favored gradually became dull, but at that time, the people who quarreled from time to time became more and more pleasant, full of fun, and gradually became harmonious and like glue.
When Zhou Yinzhi just set off from the capital, the news of Fang Miaoyouxi had already spread to the palace, which made the queen mother, who had been out of power for a long time in the Cining Palace, a little happy, and she frowned slightly.
As for the companion reading in the past, most of them have a place to go.
In addition to Yao Xixian's unfortunate death at home, the cunning and domineering You Yue may have been assigned a jinshi in the first division, but the other party did not hold a high official position in the Hanlin Academy, and he was not taken seriously and was mediocre; Zhou Baoying, a little girl who also likes to play chess, has found a husband and married Yan Lin's former playmate in Beijing, King Yanping. I heard that they are in love.
What is more surprising is that Yao Rongrong actually entered the palace.
The emperor favored him overnight after drinking, and was very lucky. He was pregnant. He was named a talented person by Xiao Shu and lived in the side hall of her Zhongcui Palace.
Shen Zhiyi hadn't heard about her partner for a long time, but now that she knew it, she couldn't help but feel a sense of right and wrong.
When he heard Xiao Shu's name, a sneer appeared on his lips.
She grew up in the palace, how could she not appreciate Xiao Shu's deep meaning and ambition to put Yao Rongrong in her palace? It's just that he didn't bother to ask any more, instead he raised his eyes and said, "When I read with Fengchen Hall, it was a rare time in retrospect. Now everyone has a place to go. However, why is there no news of Shuyi?"
Chen Shuyi is the jewel in the palm of Chen Yunjin, a cabinet scholar. If you count her age a little, she has already reached the age of talking about marriage.
When Zhou Yinzhi heard the words, he held the wine glass, but seemed hesitant and did not speak.
This makes people even more curious.
Just a laugh from Lu Xian on the side, but it was easy to get through the key points, and there was even a half-truth ridicule: "Master Zhou is now the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, what news is there in the capital that he doesn't know? It’s just a matter of my life, I’m afraid I’m too embarrassed to elaborate. Your Highness doesn’t know anything, as early as September this year, the marriage between Lord Zhou and the old daughter of Chen Ge had already been decided, and they just waited for the marriage after the year.”
"what… "
The seat was suddenly amazed.
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect it.
Even Jiang Xuening was stunned.
The rest of the people responded quickly and laughed again and again to toast Zhou Yinzhi, wishing him such a good thing in the coming year.
The banquet was even more lively. Most people's eyes were already on Zhou Yinzhi. It was obvious that the deputy commander of Jinyiwei had the ability not to mention his ability, and the support of such a powerful Yue family, and his future prospects were limitless. It is to say good things to people who say good things, and take this opportunity to make friends.
At this time, no one noticed Xie Wei.
His slender fingers, which were attached to the wine cup, had trembled slightly at some point, and a strange feeling came up from the downstream, gradually becoming obvious and strong, making his body tense a little while sitting upright.
There was no one around to see what was wrong.
His pupils shrank coldly, and all the things that happened at today's banquet quickly flashed through his mind, then he raised his head and glanced around. The voice dropped.
Then he turned his head and called Daoqin first to give an order, his eyes had a chilling meaning.
Daoqin couldn't help but be surprised and led the way.
Then he summoned Jianshu and made another explanation.
Jian Shu was even more stunned, reacted for a moment, Fang realized something, glanced at the wine cup he was holding, whispered "yes", and quickly came out of the hall to let someone prepare cold water for bathing.
Xie Wei then walked out of the hall.
Only Yan Lin, Lu Xian and the others who were sitting close to them saw it.
But they only thought that he had something to do, went out to deal with it, or was slightly drunk, went out to blow air, and came back in a while, and didn't care too much.
This night was originally a celebration feast, and on New Year's Eve, it was a happy and difficult day, and the people had their own intentions to offer it.
At the end of Dehai Shi, there will be hot noodles served up.
Guanzhong does not produce rice, so Shanxi folk mostly use pasta. There is a famous noodle restaurant in the city. The owner makes excellent dragon beard noodles. Today, he is helping in the back kitchen. Zhiyi tasted the customs of Xinzhou.
The noodles were served in a white porcelain bowl and floated in the clear soup with a little oil. It was really as thin as a thread. There were a few green cabbage leaves floating on the side, and two spoonfuls of selected seven points were added. Lean three-point fat pork minced fried pork sham.
As soon as it was served, people could smell the aroma.
Shen Zhiyi knew that it was the people's thoughts, so she stood up specially to express her gratitude.
Jiang Xuening also had a bowl, picked up a bunch of them with chopsticks and took a bite, and drank another noodle soup, she actually tasted the rare fragrance, but she was slapped by Xie Ju'an, and she didn't feel very surprised.
However, when he turned around and saw Shen Zhiyi sitting safely beside him, there was an indescribable calmness.
Those who died in the last life are all fine in this life.
She couldn't help but slightly bent her lips, leaned close to Shen Zhiyi's ear, quietly lowered her voice, and said playfully, "This noodles is normal, the noodles sent by His Highness on the night of my birthday are more delicious."
Hearing this, Shen Zhiyi turned her head sideways, but a bit of confusion appeared in her eyes: "Mian, what face?"
"… "
Jiang Xuening was suddenly stunned.
The fingers clinging to the chopsticks were stiff, she raised her head and stared at Shen Zhiyi, the fresh expression on her face was vaguely stagnant.
Shen Zhiyi was frightened by her: "Ningning?"
Jiang Xuening said in a dream, "Two years ago, on the night of my birthday, after leaving Mingfeng Palace, didn't His Highness send someone to give me a bowl of longevity noodles?"
Shen Zhiyi was surprised: "How come?"
She said: "That night you and Fang Miao were able to drink. I was drunk after a while, and I woke up the next day. And the imperial pantry in the palace was unable to use it when it passed Hai, so I couldn't make any longevity noodles. Did you remember wrong?"
"… "
Did you remember wrong
At this moment, Jiang Xuening felt an empty daze in his heart, followed by a panic that gradually became clear after he was stripped of the cocoon. She couldn't tell what was going on in her messy head, and subconsciously looked in a certain direction during the banquet.
That place is empty.
I don't know when, Xie Ju'an had left the seat and disappeared.
