Chapter 1048 It turns out that the clown has always been himself
Xiao Zhi was dressed in a coarse linen shirt, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were several bloody scratches on his face from being cut by sharp stones. He looked very embarrassed.
But when Shi Anxia looked at him like this, she felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye than the hysterical emperor in dragon robe a few days ago.
At this moment, he finally looked like His Royal Highness Prince Ling who once rushed to various dangerous places.
Xiao Zhi's Adam's apple rolled, and thousands of words were stuck in his heart. He wanted to apologize for those absurd thoughts; he wanted to repent for those impulsive decisions.
But when the words came to his lips, they only turned into a hoarse, "Imperial sister..."
Shi Anxia no longer had her usual gentle and smiling face, nor was she as cold and resolute as she was later.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with clarity. Everything was relieved. "It's good that Prince Guizheng is alive."
If he died while rescuing the disaster, it would leave a thorn in his father's heart.
As long as he is alive, his father can still curse this rebellious son whenever he thinks of him.
The father and son in heaven also have human emotions.
If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. At that time, Anxia knew that Xiao Yunde was more distressed than ever during this period.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhi is alive.
Shi Anxia no longer called him "Royal Brother" because they were not blood brothers and sisters, and after several twists and turns, there was no need to be so intimate. Now that she was powerful in the North Wing, she could make the clouds and rain with a wave of her hand, and the title of "Prince Guizheng" was the greatest honor.
Shi Anxia's eyes were as calm as water, without any ripples.
As long as Xiao Zhi could still stand up for the people of the North Wing in times of crisis, she would still prepare a cup of tea and treat him with courtesy.
If not - there is no need to see you again in this world.
She was originally a very utilitarian person.
She was enthusiastic when she helped him to the top, and she was ruthless when she tried to bring him down.
There was a map on the table. Although the border between Beiyi and Liang was still clear, the line became blurred in Xiao Zhi's eyes.
When Xiao Zhi learned that his son-in-law had returned from the dead, he was extremely shocked. Later, he learned that his son-in-law had become the Emperor Yu of Liang. He thought of his father and hesitated to speak several times.
It turns out that's the case.
He once thought, if he had known that the prince consort was not dead... would he have taken the wrong path?
He didn't know. He was already possessed by the devil at that time. Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to kidnap Tang Chujun right under his father's nose?
Once the devil enters your heart, one wrong step will lead to all the wrong steps.
After drinking the tea, Xiao Zhi no longer had the nerve to drink more, so he stood up and said goodbye.
There was still a shadow in my heart, but I didn't say it out loud.
Shi Anxia told him calmly from behind, "Yexun is also a consort."
His body shook, and the last bit of shadow disappeared.
So! So that’s how it is.
He always felt that there was an unspeakable secret between Ye Xun and Shi Anxia.
It is a man's keen intuition, and also the darkness deep in his heart that he dares not face.
But the truth is revealed, it turns out that the clown has always been himself.
He smiled bitterly, without looking back, and strode out of the pub.
Almost escaped.
How anxious I was when I came, how ashamed I was when I left.
"Please come in, Prince Guizheng." A guard bowed his head and escorted Xiao Zhi out of the gate. He watched him get on the carriage. His eyes lightly met Long Jiang's and then turned away.
Xiao Zhi was confused and did not notice that the guard who sent him out was actually the emperor.
It seemed that in that dream, there was a moment when he left with such frustration and regret.
It seems that Eunuch An killed someone close to Empress Dowager Huizheng. After Eunuch An was killed, Empress Dowager Huizheng told him, "Your Majesty, don't come again."
Xiao Zhi leaned back in the carriage, feeling extremely tired and sleepy.
Suddenly, he woke up with a start.
Is there a possibility... that Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan had the same dream as him?
Otherwise, why would they go to such great lengths to help him ascend the throne when they knew nothing about him?
Because they knew from the beginning that he was born to be the emperor!
This thought made Xiao Zhi break out in cold sweats; even the scorching sun outside the carriage could not dispel the chill from his body.
He almost hysterically lifted the bamboo curtain of the carriage, "Stop, stop the carriage!"
He wanted to go back immediately to find out the truth!
Long Jiang rode forward, jumped down, and asked respectfully, "What does King Gui Zheng want?"
Xiao Zhi was stunned by the question.
What exactly was he going to ask? Was An Xia dreaming?
So funny!
What if she admits it? What if she doesn't?
Xiao Zhi said dejectedly, "We've taken the wrong road. Let's go to Jiangcheng."
Long Jiang said, "Prince Guizheng's daughter's body has not recovered yet, so it is not appropriate for her to go again..."
Xiao Zhi interrupted, "Do as I say. The people of Jiangcheng are in dire straits, how can I stay out of it?"
Long Jiang inexplicably saw a kind of decisiveness and resolution in Xiao Zhi's eyes that he had never seen before.
That was a more majestic demeanor than when he sat on the dragon throne.
Long Jiang didn't dare to disobey, "Yes!"
The carriage headed towards Jiangcheng.
The sound of horse hooves startled Xiao Zhi's thoughts that were as fast as a thousand horses galloping in his heart.
Those complicated and confusing thoughts gradually drowned out the love stories of the past, and were replaced by the classics on state governance, such as "The Strategy of Water Conservancy in the Northern Wing" and "The Strategy of Military Farming in the Nine Frontiers", which he repeatedly deduced in his dreams.
He remembered that he wrote in "Junjian Pian" in Beiyishu: "Using jade as a comparison to virtue, one can reflect one's heart and nature; using history as a scale, one can measure gains and losses; using the sword as a warning, one can stop wars; using the stars as a calendar, one can correct the farming seasons; using slander as medicine, one can cure stupidity.
Gold is the measure of all things in the world; law is the rope that can be used to correct the ceremonies in the court; poetry is the pulse that can be used to diagnose the feelings of the people.
Observe the clouds to know the weather, observe the morning to know the fate of the country, observe the people to know the rise and fall. The bronze mirror reflects the body, the heart mirror reflects the soul, and the history mirror reflects the fate.
In the "Northern Wing Book: Junwu Chapter", he wrote: "Three warnings are inscribed on the sword: guard against arrogance, guard against laziness, and guard against arbitrary decisions; three words are cast on the tripod: speak for the people, speak for the border, and speak for the reserve of talents."
In "Bei Yi Shu Jun Shi Pian", he wrote, "The iron horses on the palace eaves can tell the wind direction, the dust on the post road can tell the border situation, and the copper coins in the market can measure the order of chaos."
In the fragment of "Old Stories of the Northern Wing: Letters from Emperor Zhaowu", he wrote, "I arranged my crown in front of the Qingluan mirror, listened to the people's sufferings outside the black armor tent, and verified the loyalty and treachery with red comments."
Xiao Zhi slammed the carriage window, "Stop! Stop! Prepare the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone! Quick!"
If he didn't hurry up, he was afraid that he would forget all of this in the next moment.
Long Jiang was exhausted by Xiao Zhi's torture. He rode his horse back to the princess's residence and ran into the guard.
"The emperor..."
"Ahem!" Guard Banzheng cleared his throat and bowed to Long Jiang. "Greetings, Lord Long. I wonder why you are so flustered?"
Long Jiang sighed, "Prince Gui Zheng suddenly asked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the way, and he seemed to be in a hurry. I don't know what he wanted."
The guard thought, except for my sister, he can have anything he wants. He was very generous, "Prepare, prepare, prepare for him quickly, as much as he wants."
Long Jiang laughed and whispered, "Your Majesty, you don't look like a guard."
The guard chuckled, "Master Long, please bear with me. I have never seen the world. I will go now... Hey... that little palace maid, go and prepare the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone for Prince Guizheng."
The little palace maid giggled and bowed slightly, "Yes, I'll go right away."
The back view is very cheerful.
Long Jiang looked at the emperor and empress having fun and was speechless. "You two are not good. You don't look like guards and maids."
The guard immediately stood up straight, "Please correct me, Lord Long!"
