After the corruption case and Jizhou disaster relief came to an end, it was time to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings.
Offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings is a major event of the imperial court. In previous years, it was sponsored by the Ministry of Rites. This year, Emperor Yuan handed over the matter to Xiao Qiheng, and the Ministry of Rites co-organized it. This move shows that he attaches great importance to Xiao Qiheng.
After two months of busy work on offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings, it was already August after the end, and the grapes planted by Jiang Li were all ripe.
The bunches of firm and plump grapes hanging on the vine stand looked very gratifying. Jiang Li picked some to eat, and some to make wine. After the wine was ready, he specially sent two jars to Zheng Yu.
Zheng Yu was very kind this time, instead of taking it for nothing like before, he gave Jiang Li a lot of things instead, and said "Thank you, sister-in-law" in a serious manner.
Jiang Li was speechless about this, he didn't know whether he was learning Xiao Qiwen or Xiao Qiwen was him.
The hallucinogenic incense burned in the Qianhe Palace was withdrawn after Xiao Qiheng was lifted from the Qinghe Palace. However, after the corruption case and Xiao Qiyun's attempt to kill his foot, Emperor Yuan was in a hurry and his health was not as good as before. Therefore, he was even more eager to seek immortality. He was obsessed with alchemy and Taoism every day.
He ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and most of the affairs were handled by Xiao Qiheng, and he rarely even set foot in the harem.
After Xiao Qiheng supervised the country, he was busy with political affairs every day, and Jiang Li was by his side every day. Now Jiang Li's status has been soaring all the way. Apart from Eunuch Chen, he has the highest position among the eunuchs in the palace.
Time flies, and it is New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
As usual, the palace held a New Year's Eve banquet. This time Xiao Qiheng was sitting under the Emperor Yuan. Apart from the Emperor Yuan, he was the most distinguished person present. It was very different from last year when he failed to step out of the Hall of Qinghe.
Years later, Xiao Qiheng finished dealing with the matter in hand, and found an opportunity to go out to the palace with Jiang Li again.
This time the two returned to Yuanshen's hometown, and Jiang Li planned to go back to pay homage to Yuanshen's parents.
Yuanshen's hometown is a small village on the outskirts of Kyoto, named Jiangjia Village. Although it is not rich, but the folk customs are simple, and it is a good place to live near mountains and rivers.
Yuanzheng was only seven years old when he was sent to the palace. Now that many years have passed, the roads in the village have changed a lot. Jiang Li couldn't figure out which way Yuanzheng's parents' house should go from Yuanshen's memory.
However, there were many villagers who went out to work on the road, Jiang Li stopped one of the young people and asked him where Jiang Sheng's family lived.
Jiang Sheng is the name of Yuanshen's father.
Yuanzhen's father passed away many years ago, the young man Xu had never heard of this name, and couldn't remember who he was talking about for a while, so Jiang Li asked Yuanzheng's uncle's name again,
"Oh! Brother, look for him!" The young man pointed to the curved road, "Go straight along this road, and when you see a fork in the road, turn left, pass a few cornfields, and count from the left The third one is his home."
"Thank you brother."
Jiang Li thanked the other party, and led the horse with Xiao Qiheng, walking along the path.
It was still early, and the two of them were not in a hurry, they chatted while walking.
The air in the countryside is very fresh, surrounded by fields and forests. The sound of the wind blowing through the rice and the calls of the frogs in the field are mixed together to form a wonderful and pleasant pastoral song.
When Jiang Li hadn't entered this virtual game world, his idea was to go back to his hometown to raise cats, plant land, and live a rural life without the hustle and bustle of the city.
Now walking on the idyllic path, he couldn't help thinking of his previous plans, and said to Xiao Qiheng with a smile: "Your Highness, do you know? I once thought of staying away from the busy city and building a house in the countryside to live a life without disputes and troubles." .”
Looking at his smile, Xiao Qiheng knew that what he said was the truth, he was not as attached to wealth and glory as others, if it wasn't for himself, maybe he would really come back here and live the life he said.
The two found Jiang Yi's home, or should be said to be Yuanshen's home, following the route the young man said just now.
Yuanzheng's uncle Jiang Yi, after Yuanzheng's parents died of illness, occupied Yuanzheng's house in the name of adopting Yuanzheng, but secretly sent Yuanzheng to the palace to exchange money, and then lied that Yuanzheng was lost up.
Yuanshen's parents were honest people before his death. His father was a carpenter who often helped the villagers build furniture. He had a very good reputation in the village. After Jiang Yi lied that Yuanshen was lost, the villagers helped him find it for two days. I just gave up if I couldn't find it.
When the two of them passed by, there was a coarse cloth woman chopping firewood in the courtyard with low walls half a person's height. She was babbling and cursing, and a male voice came back from time to time in the room.
Jiang Li remembered that this woman was the original body's aunt, although her appearance was a little older than in memory, she still recognized her.
In Yuanshen's memory, his uncle Jiang Yi was ignorant and ignorant. Apart from relying on the little family fortune left by his old father, he just came to Yuanshen's house to eat and drink. Even after he got married, his wife Chen Xiumei was also mean. People who care about, the couple often think about taking advantage of their original wealth.
Taking the matter of secretly sending the original body into the palace to exchange money, Jiang Li didn't like the couple, so he walked straight to the yard without saying hello, and just pushed open the door of the yard and went in, while Xiao Qiheng followed behind him.
Seeing that they entered uninvited, Chen Xiumei stopped what she was doing, stood up from the low stool, and asked loudly, "Who are you?! How did you break into other people's houses?"
"Another house?" Jiang Li chuckled, but his eyes were not so kind, "Auntie probably made a mistake, this is my house, so why bother to say it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Xiumei frowned, "This is my house, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Li pretended to be puzzled: "As far as I know, this is Jiang Shengjiang's carpenter's house. After his old man died of illness, this house should also be owned by his son Jiang Li. How did it become your house?"
When Chen Xiumei heard him mention the uncle and nephew who died young, she snorted: "The person you mentioned has died long ago. This is our family now. You should leave quickly, or I will be rude to you!"
She was still holding a machete for chopping firewood in her hand, and she saw that Jiang Li was here to find trouble, and there were two big men, so she pointed the tip of the knife at him, and shouted into the room: "Jiang Yi, come out quickly, someone is coming!" There is trouble at our house!"
Xiao Qiheng saw her pointing the knife at Jiang Li. Even though Jiang Li's skill did not pose any threat to him, he still felt displeased. One voice: "Shut up."
Before Chen Xiumei could react, the knife was taken away by him. When she met his cold eyes, she trembled uncontrollably, subconsciously took a few steps back, and stammered: "You... what do you want to do? ?”
At this time, a middle-aged man ran out of the room with a hoe in his hand. As soon as he came out and saw Jiang Li and the two, he shouted, "Who is making trouble? Who are you? What do you want?"
When Chen Xiumei saw her man coming out, she became angry again, and said with her hands on her hips, "Be careful to report to the police to arrest you!"
Jiang Li took a step forward, ignored their threats, and said to the man calmly, "Uncle, but I haven't seen you for ten years, so you don't even recognize your own nephew? My father, no one has forgotten the name of your own brother, right?"
Jiang Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, seeing that Jiang Li's face looked familiar, but upon closer inspection he was somewhat similar to his dead brother, combined with what Jiang Li said, he was horrified: "You...you are Jiang Li? !"
When Chen Xiumei heard this, she looked at Jiang Li in disbelief, and then at Jiang Yi: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Uncle just remember." Jiang Li smiled slightly, "Thank you uncle and aunt for helping our family take care of the house these years, now that I'm back, I won't bother you two."
Jiang Yi and Chen Xiumei looked at each other, and they both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
Chen Xiumei is not an unreasonable person. She has lived in this house for more than ten years, and she is not willing to go back. Then she looked at Jiang Li arrogantly and said, "What evidence do you have for saying that you are Jiang Li? Nonsense, be careful, I will ask someone to send you off." to see the officer."
"Meet the official?" Xiao Qiheng raised his eyebrows, "It's just right."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yi asked.
Jiang Li said: "Just to send you to see the official."
When they confronted each other, the neighbors were alarmed, and many people surrounded the door, but Jiang Yi and his wife were usually mean and unkind, no one stepped forward to help, but stood outside to watch the excitement.
Jiang Li turned around, cupped his hands towards some older villagers outside, and said loudly: "Uncles and aunts, you have all been in Jiangjia Village for many years, and you must know my father, Jiang Sheng. I am Jiang Sheng's son Jiang Sheng Leave."
An elderly man heard the words and said, "I remember Master Jiang. He made the furniture for my son when he got married."
"I remember too! My daughter-in-law's dressing cabinet was also made by Master Jiang."
"So are my stools."
"My house is too!"
Others also made noises. Seeing this, Chen Xiumei put her hips on her hips and yelled at them: "Die, you, what's the matter with you gossips? Go away! You are the only ones who don't die!"
A chubby middle-aged woman was not afraid of her, she stepped forward and asked Jiang Li, "Little brother, you said you are the son of Master Jiang, but what evidence do you have? I heard that Master Jiang's son disappeared many years ago." .”
Jiang Li said: "To be honest, Jiang Yi and his wife secretly sold me to others as servants in order to obtain my house and the money left by my father, and then lied that I was accidentally lost, and logically occupied my house. "
When everyone heard this, Qi Qi looked at Jiang Yi and Chen Xiumei, with condemnation in their eyes. These two people have a terrible reputation, and they really seem to be able to do such a thing.
Jiang Yi and Chen Xiumei turned pale, and took two steps back, but Jiang Yi still yelled, "Nonsense! Jiang Li has been lost for a long time. You are a yellow-haired kid who ran out of nowhere and farted with your mouth full. I get out!"
As he said that, he swung his stick and hit Jiang Li. Jiang Li didn't move, he raised his hand to hold the other side of the stick, and with a little force, he threw Jiang Yi to the ground.
Jiang Yi let out an "ouch" and cursed: "Bastard bastard, you beat me to death! Oops..."
Chen Xiumei hurried forward to see if he was hurt, and cursed at Jiang Li, swearing all kinds of obscene words like "having a son without an ass hole". The picked leaves hit her mouth directly, causing her to close her mouth in pain.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the two of them scrambled and tried to hide in the house, but Xiao Qiheng directly took a hemp rope from the side where the firewood was placed, dragged them out, and then tied them into a ball.
After restraining the two of them, Jiang Li said to the other onlookers: "I know that the villagers must still have doubts about what I said, but don't worry, everyone, I have reported to the official before I came, and the truth will come to light .”
Although everyone hated Jiang Yi and his wife, Jiang Li couldn't conclude that he was Master Jiang's son based on Jiang Li's few words. Hearing that he had already reported to the government, he felt relieved.
Not long after, the government sent officers and soldiers over. After the matter was clarified, Jiang Yi and Chen Xiumei were sentenced.
After Jiang Li asked about the tomb of the original body's parents from Jiang Yi's mouth, he prepared the sacrifices needed for the worship, and went up the mountain with Xiao Qiheng.
After the original body's father died of illness, his mother became ill with missing, and followed him the next year. Yuanshen was still young at the time, and Jiang Yi and his wife took care of her mother's funeral. At that time, in order to save face, they took care of the funeral.
However, when Jiang Li and Xiao Qiheng went to the mountain, they found that not long after the Qingming Festival in March, the graves of the two elders were covered with grass, and even the wooden sign with the names of the two elders was worn out.
As soon as Jiang Li got close to the grave of the second elder, he felt a burst of sadness and discomfort in his heart. He knew that part of it came from the emotion of the original body, and the other part was that he thought of his parents in another world.
I died accidentally. Over the years, I don't know who has cleaned my parents' cemetery.
Jiang Li and Xiao Qiheng cleaned up the grass on the grave of the old man, lit joss sticks, burned paper money, and sincerely worshiped before descending the mountain.
Afterwards, Jiang Li arranged for someone to look at Feng Shui, and built a new cemetery for the two elders. He thought that since he had taken over the original body, he would be filial for him.
…
In the thirty-third year of the Yuan Dynasty, Prime Minister Wang was arrested for collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, and his whole family was imprisoned.
At the same time, a case that has been wronged for many years surfaced. The case of Prime Minister Lu's embezzlement and perverting the law was all manipulated by Prime Minister Wang in the dark to frame Zhongliang, resulting in the death of the Lu family and exile.
Emperor Yuan wrongly judged Prime Minister Lu's case, and Empress Shuyan committed suicide, but he regarded it as a curse on himself, and then imprisoned Xiao Qiheng in the Hall of Qinghe for many years.
Several generations of the Lu family were loyal and good, and they did their best to help the current emperor, but their family was ruined. Now the truth is revealed. Emperor Yuan regretted the past, but it is irreparable after all.
At that time, the Lu family exiled more than 60 people, and the exile journey was difficult. The elderly and weak women lost their lives on the way to the outside of the customs. For many years, only a few dozen people returned to Beijing.
On the day of returning to Beijing, Xiao Qiheng and Sheng Hexuan went out of the city to greet them in person.
Seeing that his uncle, who was only fifty years old, had already covered his head with silver hair, Xiao Qiheng's eyes were hot, he lifted his clothes and knelt down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Qiheng is incompetent, let you suffer."
The leading uncle also had tears in his eyes, and helped him and Sheng Hexuan up with trembling hands.
In the thirty-fourth year of Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan handed down the throne to Xiao Qiheng, retired as the Supreme Emperor, and devoted himself to seeking longevity, leaving only Eunuch Chen to serve him.
On June 6 of the same year, Xiao Qiheng ascended the throne as emperor and changed his year name to Yuan.
On the night of his ascension to the throne, Jiang Li was suddenly taken by Xiao Qiheng to the highest roof of the palace.
Before he could figure out what the other party was going to do, he suddenly heard a sharp long cry, and with a loud "bang—", colorful fireworks suddenly exploded in the dark sky.
Jiang Li's eyes widened slightly, watching the fireworks exploding one after another in the distance to light up the night, those gorgeous colors seemed to surround the entire palace, the scene was extremely spectacular.
Jiang Li turned to look at Xiao Qiheng: "This..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the other party lowered his head and kissed his lips.
In the fireworks all over the sky, the two hugged each other tightly, needless to say everything, they knew each other well.
If you allow me to be with you for the rest of your life, then I will give you flowers for the rest of your life.
…
After Emperor Yuan Xiao Qiheng came to the throne, under his careful governance, the country was safe and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the court was full of praise.
The only thing that displeased all civil and military officials was that he had been on the throne for four years, not only did he not have a queen, but he did not even have a single concubine in the harem. The only person who served him closely was Jiang Li, the chief eunuch.
Everyone in the court knew that Jiang Li was Emperor Yuan's confidant, and could even be said to be his life.
Everyone still remembers that in the second year after Emperor Yuan succeeded to the throne, assassins entered the palace. In order to save Emperor Yuan, Director Jiang put himself in danger and was held hostage by the assassins.
Everyone present at that time saw with their own eyes that Emperor Yuan, who had been strategizing and calm for a long time, showed a flustered and furious expression for the first time, pointing at the assassin and saying: "If you hurt a hair on him, I will make you worse off!" die."
Even if it is a confidant, such a reaction is too intense, it is really unreasonable, but everyone tacitly does not mention it, and dare not mention it.
In short, there is only one sentence to describe Mr. Jiang in this palace, and that is - under one person, above ten thousand people.
Emperor Yuan had already passed his age, and the matter of not marrying a wife and becoming a queen made the ministers in the court anxious. They did not dare to speak in front of the person concerned, so they could only retreat and beg in front of Xuan Wang Xiao Qiwen.
As an insider, Xiao Qiwen naturally went in his left ear and out of his right ear, slicked the soles of his feet, and continued to be his idle prince.
However, things didn't work out, and in the fifth year after Xiao Qiheng ascended the throne, he left a handwritten edict passed on to his younger brother Xiao Qiwen, and he and Jiang Li both left the palace.
…
A family moved to the west of Suzhou City. This family is strange to say. There are only two outstanding men, a white pet and a green bird, but no mistress.
After the family moved here, they opened a restaurant in the street market. The dishes in the restaurant were delicious and the prices were reasonable. Within a few days of opening, the restaurant was full of customers.
Half a month later, a customer who ate Bawang meal suddenly came to the restaurant. He ordered more than a dozen dishes and wanted to leave when he was full. After being stopped by Xiaoer, he even said unreasonably that the owner of the restaurant He still owes him silver taels, and wants to ask their boss to collect the debt.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to ask Xiaoer to go to the owner to deal with it.
Jiang Li was trimming Jiang Nuomi's hair, after listening to Xiao Er's words, he asked, "What does that man look like?"
"He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is well dressed. I didn't expect him to be a rascal." Xiaoer said angrily.
Xiao Er's description was almost the same as no description, Jiang Li hugged Jiang Nuomi with repaired hair into Xiao Qiheng's arms, and said, "I'll go and see, you can get Jiang Nuomi something to eat later."
Xiao Qiheng said: "I'm with you..."
"No need to go, I'll come by myself."
A familiar voice came from behind, and when the two turned their heads, they saw Zheng Yu swaggering in from the outside, and before he got there, he yelled at the two of them: "I've finally found you, you two just kept silent." Pat your ass and leave, your conscience has been eaten by a dog?!"
Xiao Qiheng: "..."
Jiang Li: "..."
Hearing the familiar words, Xiao Qiheng was speechless, while Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh.
Have friends come from afar.
…
end
In this world, after Xiao Qiheng died, Jiang Li also entered reincarnation.
After they both left, Zheng Yu, already gray-haired, buried the two of them together, and placed a jar of local wine that Jiang Li taught him to make in front of their graves, wishing them a happy journey together.
