"My father's name?" After Mei Changsu was startled for a while, he immediately understood the purpose of his question, and his face changed slightly.
"Since Lord Lingzun is the benefactor of my mother-in-law, I should know his name too, shouldn't I?"
"Then Your Highness... why don't you ask the imperial concubine?"
"I asked," King Jing did not hide it, "now I want to ask Mr.
Mei Changsu slowly lowered his head, clenched his hand tightly in the quilt, and slowly let go, his face was almost transparent.
"Is there any difficulty, sir?" King Jing lowered his body, trying his best to see his eyes. "Lord Ling Zun's name is also a secret?"
"How could it be?" Mei Changsu smiled weakly, and finally raised his eyes, "My father's name is taboo, and the upper stone is the lower Nan."
King Jing's whole body was shocked, and his face became almost as white as Mei Changsu's. He tried his best to stabilize his mind: "Can you... say it again?"
"Father, Mei Shinan..."
"Which Shi, which Nan?" King Jing squeezed the question out of the gap between his teeth, as if in his final struggle.
"The stone of the stone, the nan of the nan tree." Mei Changsu looked at the expression on King Jing's face and knew that he had made the right bet this time, but he did not feel the slightest ease in his heart, instead it was heavy, as if there was something rough A heavy object ran over his chest, causing bursts of dull pain.
King Jing then took two steps back and closed his eyes heavily. For him, the thought that flashed through his mind after a night of confusion yesterday was so sudden, so bizarre, so bizarre that he even wondered if he was crazy, and the few words just now were cold tell him. Turns out he was really crazy.
Crazy enough to want to find the soul that can never be found again, crazy enough to want to put two completely different figures together.
However, the ending was just a icy disappointment.
Lie Zhanying timidly patrolled the door. Some are afraid of the eccentric atmosphere in the room, but the news that has just been sent is so important. He had to report immediately.
"His Royal Highness... The messenger of Commander Meng arrived from the Imperial Capital Starry Night..."
Prince Jing stood silently for a while, as if to calm his turbulent emotions. In the end, he managed to control himself, turned around silently and walked out, but because his mind was in a mess. He didn't notice that Buddha Tooth quietly passed by his feet, walked into the inner room with his tail waving, and threw himself into Mei Changsu's arms.
Meng Zhi's messenger stood at the gate of the courtyard, turned over as soon as he saw King Jing, and raised the letterbox above his head with both hands. King Jing took the letterbox, roughly checked the seal, and said, "Come in with me." "Yes!"
As soon as he heard the news that the imperial capital was coming, Emperor Liang immediately got up even though he was sleepy, and put on a coat to receive King Jing on the couch. The messenger knelt by the outer door, waiting to be questioned at any time.
"Okay! I can rest assured," Liang Di Zhanxin read carefully. The wrinkles on his face slowly stretched out, "Meng Qing moved very fast. The left-behind Imperial Army has all been brought under his control. The palace defense has also been reorganized, and can wait for me to return to Beijing at any time... Hey "What's the matter? "
"...Xia Jiang escaped from prison..."
King Jing's eyebrows jumped: "How come?"
"I fled when Meng Qing had just entered the capital and confronted King Yu, and the situation was relatively chaotic. There is also a plea for a lost prisoner from the Ministry of Punishment." King Yu also made it difficult for me to forgive me, and immediately issued a sea arrest document.
"Yes."
"You have to work hard again, make arrangements today and return to Luang tomorrow."
King Jing knew that Emperor Liang was eager to return to the imperial capital at the moment, and immediately said: "Father, don't worry, the boy will make arrangements now, and he will be able to leave tomorrow."
"Okay, okay." Emperor Liang smiled lovingly, "Since you're about to return to Beijing, take the time to think about what reward you want."
King Jing said lightly: "Why think too much, what the father rewards is what he rewards, the child thinks too much, and he exceeds his duty."
Emperor Liang gave him a deep look, then raised his head and smiled for a while, looking very cheerful, "I just like your undemanding temper, really like your mother. Go ahead, don't have to come in today to greet you."
After King Jing bowed his head and exited, Emperor Liang leaned on the bedside for a while, and said, "Call Ji Gaozhan to go out and deliver the decree. Since this place is not like the Imperial Palace, King Ji rushed in before a moment and saluted in front of the couch. .
"Sit down, I have something to discuss with you." Emperor Liang pointed to the low chair beside him, "This rebellion was initiated by King Yu, you know?"
"My brother knows. Xu Anmo has already taken the initiative to recruit. Besides, except for King Yu, all the other princes are here. The Queen of Jingli... always prefers the place of King Yu..."
"Jinghuan has already chilled my heart, and I have once had expectations for him, but what about him? The means have no means, the will has no will, and he has done things in a mess. Now that he is rebelling, I really can't tolerate it any longer. ." Emperor Liang's expression was very distressed, his fingers rubbed his forehead, and he looked very uncomfortable, "But in the end, it is my son after all. After thinking about it, my heart still hurts..."
King Ji hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Huang, the matter has come to this point, it is better to take care of the dragon's body..."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Emperor Liang sat up and looked at his younger brother, "Now that the crown prince is abolished, and King Yu has no forgiveness for his sins, who do you think should belong to the crown prince in the future?"
King Ji was so frightened that he fell to the ground and said, "This is the decision of Your Majesty's Sacred Heart, and my younger brother dare not say anything."
"Is it worth your nervousness to ask a common question?" Emperor Liang smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him up, "What do you think of King Jing? King Ji thought for a while, and then slowly replied: "King Jing... benevolent, filial, virtuous, sincere, loyal and brave. , can be… role models for the princes…”
Emperor Liang looked out the window with deep eyes. After a long time, he seemed to let out a sigh from the depths of his chest, "Actually, Jingyan is not my best son... don't you think?"
King Ji was trembling. The atmosphere did not dare to come out.
"But Jingyan has the advantages of Jingyan. He knows how to restrain himself. This is different from... Jing Yu. Maybe it has something to do with his mother's temperament." Emperor Liang didn't seem to really want to tell King Ji what to say, but he kept his eyes on it. at the origin. "This time, when Jingyan arrived, the Imperial Army was almost incapable of fighting, and the hunting palace was actually under his control, but he handed back the military talisman without saying a word. At that time, I felt very surprised. …”
"Accident?"
"I thought. He would always mention something, at least suggest something."
King Ji smiled reluctantly, "Jingyan doesn't seem to be that kind of person."
"After leaving Jiu'an Mountain and returning to Beijing, the situation will return to my control. But I just tested it, and Jingyan doesn't seem to want to delay returning to Luan." Emperor Liang approached King Ji a little bit. , lowered his voice and said, "You said, does he have any ideas about the position of the East Palace?"
Ji Wang was slightly shocked and smiled a little embarrassedly. "It's more than Jingyan. As long as you are a prince, whoever has no idea about the position of the East Palace must be a fake land."
"Oh?" Emperor Liang glanced over, "You are also a prince. What do you think?"
Ji Wang's smile this time was very relaxed. "The younger brother is not the prince, the younger brother is the younger brother. That's different."
Emperor Liang laughed and patted his brother's shoulder hard, "You, you were born a little late. But thanks to you, I have someone to discuss. Wipe your sweat and eat a snack, What are you nervous about? I'm not loving you enough, not pampering you enough?"
King Ji also followed with "hehe" twice, randomly picked a piece of twisted silk cake from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a couple of bites, and praised: "Is it the craftsmanship of the noble concubine? Brother, you have to come in to eat."
"Okay, if you like it, you can wrap it up and take it with you. The imperial concubine is still by my side, so I don't have to worry about what to eat." Emperor Liang spread a smile on his face, but suddenly swept away Gao Zhan from the end of his eyes, and said, "It's called Duke Huai. , King Yu comes in."
King Ji was stunned for a moment, and said quickly: "Then the younger brother will go first..."
"Don't be busy, let's eat yours." The smile on Emperor Liang's face gradually settled down and turned into a more solemn expression, "Didn't you say that every prince has an idea? I want to hear what the two of them think. ."
King Ji almost choked, hurriedly picked up the teacup, and rushed down quietly.
After a short while, King Huai and King Yu came in and asked An to pay their respects. Emperor Liang smiled and offered snacks, but before they swallowed them, he suddenly asked, "King Jing is the crown prince, do you have any opinions?"
King Ji hurriedly handed tea cups to the two poor princes, and after seeing them choking and coughing for a while, they all bowed their heads, and didn't dare to say more.
"Why, do you have any objections?"
"My son doesn't dare..." Prince Yu was a little more daring and decided, "King Jing has nothing to choose, the father and the emperor think it is suitable, and the sons and ministers think it is suitable."
"Prince Prince and Prince Yu don't need to be mentioned anymore. If Prince Jing is not a prince, we have to choose between the two of you..." Emperor Liang's eyes fell on his two sons, "Do you have any ideas?" , I just want to be able to do my best and filial piety in front of the father's knees, nothing else. "King Yu kowtowed and confessed, and Duke Huai quickly agreed.
"But..." Emperor Liang said in a leisurely tone, "You guys have a long sequence, so you should be ahead of King Jing?"
Prince Yu choked for a moment, and quickly pulled Prince Huai, who had read a lot, and Prince Huai stammered: "My sons... all are not direct sons, and the age difference is not much, naturally it is the father and you... Choose the virtuous and stand... ""It's good to choose the virtuous to stand," Emperor Liang smiled gently, "If you talk about filial piety, King Jing is indeed well-deserved. I am also very relieved that the two of you have such a heart. When you got up, it was originally For those of you who have snacks, just ask by the way. Eat, eat, I am sleepy too, you have finished this plate, go in and kowtow to the imperial concubine."
The meaning of ordering the two princes to go to worship the noble concubine is very clear. However, although King Huai of Yu did not disturb the court situation, his judgment was still good. He had expected today, and it was not unexpected. He hurriedly swallowed a few pieces of snacks and bowed to Emperor Liang, who had fallen to Xiao Mian. , and was ordered to go inside.
King Ji quietly withdrew, and ordered people to prepare horses. He wanted to go out of the palace to relax, and just walked to the gate of the outer hall, and saw King Jing walking by with a group of civil and military officials, probably to arrange for the ride. , Look at the calm and confident aura, as if he has the demeanor of a master.
"It turns out that Jiangshan is his land in the end..." King Ji muttered to himself, suddenly remembering the eldest son of the emperor who was so heroic and popular in the past, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell what he felt.
"I've seen Prince Ji..." A voice suddenly came from behind, making Wang Ji look back in surprise.
In front of him stood a white-furnished and green-shirted scribe, with a thin body and a sick face. He seemed soft and harmless, but he was the most despised person in the world.
"By the way, the unicorn genius is also his..." King Ji said to himself in his heart while he was slightly stunned. He had no direct contact with Mei Changsu, but he recognized him. There are almost no people with a certain identity in the capital now who do not recognize this Mr. Su.
"Is your lord going out?"
"Yeah. Mr. Su doesn't seem to hesitate?"
"Is there a question from Lord Lao, who slept for a day, remembered to take a walk, and heard that he will be returning to Luan tomorrow?"
"Yes, back to the imperial capital, everything can be settled, sir, you can rest assured." Ji Wangye smiled lightly.
Mei Changsu followed with a smile, his eyes softened, "Actually, His Royal Highness Prince Jing has always wanted to thank the prince, but it's just messy and inconvenient."
"Thank me for what?" King Ji couldn't help laughing, "I'm all about the heart and not the person, so why should I thank Mei Changsu for staring at him for a long time, and then slowly bowed down: "Your Highness, thank the prince for saving Tingsheng, if it weren't for the prince Kindness, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to be born in this world..."
King Ji's whole body trembled, and the smile on his face gradually faded, as if something was about to churn out rolling under the skin, causing sad and sad ripples between his brows.
"This, let alone thank you... We are all family, who is not flesh and blood with whom?"
After saying these words, the unrestrained prince turned around and left, his sleeve robes fluttering in the mountain wind, leaving a helpless back.
