Chapter 132 Changes in the world
In Dongqi Palace, the light in Xingxin Hall was dim.Since yesterday, Emperor Ming has been sitting on the dragon throne without moving or saying a word.

Qizhan was dressed in a dark robe and personally served a bowl of plum blossom soup cake.

Emperor Ming didn't look at him, he just stared at the bowl of sugar water in a trance.

You might say that they seem to be inseparable, but that’s not necessarily the case.

They are very similar, equally concerned about the world, ambitious and unwilling to defend themselves.Yes, they were father and son, but because of the death of a woman, they could no longer shake hands and make peace.

Today is the birthday of that woman, but there is no trace of her in the world, only children without mothers and husbands without wives.

They are actually just as pitiful.

"It doesn't have to be like this. Fifteen years have passed, and mother has forgotten you." Qi Jian said, and this light voice made the empty Xingxin Palace even colder.

"Xiao Zhen, will it snow this winter?" Emperor Ming asked. He still didn't look at his son, but was absentmindedly grinding the red gold ball in his hand.

Before Qi frame could answer, he asked and answered to himself: "I think so. Your mother likes red plums hanging in snow the most."

"If I had known today, why would my mother's shame have not been washed away at the beginning?"

"You have already made arrangements, haven't you?" Emperor Ming then looked at his angry son. This son had never smiled at him since his Xinyi left.

"You owe her this!" Qi Jian frowned and answered fiercely, then paused, his brows gradually relaxed, and said softly, "But you don't owe me."

"Everything Gu can do and what should be done has been done. You are an outstanding child, and you will definitely be an outstanding emperor in the future. But you have to know that Gu must not choose you. There are thousands of ways in this world, and you are the one. As stupid as Gu, he chose the most difficult one." Emperor Ming said with a bitter smile.

"Do you regret it?" Qi Jian asked calmly.

"Except for your mother, I have nothing to regret." Emperor Ming answered simply, then he raised his head and whispered to himself, "If it were to happen all over again, I would still want the most unparalleled throne in the world. I just want to be with you." Meet her and give her a happy life."

Start frame of silence.

"The time has come." Emperor Ming coughed and narrowed his eyes due to pain in his chest, "Do what you want, child."

"What on earth have you done to yourself?!" Qi Jian rushed to him and saw blood flowing out of Emperor Ming's nose. He asked anxiously, "Where is the antidote?"

Emperor Ming didn't answer him, he just lowered his head and held the red gold ball in his left hand. His right hand stroked the red gold dragon head on the handle of the dragon chair over and over again.

"Tell me, where is the antidote?" Qi Jian cursed with red eyes and punched the table hard.

Emperor Ming still didn't answer. He let go of the armrest, patted his knees that had become stiff after sitting for a day, squeezed out the warmest smile, and waved gently to his son, just like he did many years ago.

But Qi Jian stood there blankly for a long time, until Emperor Ming's hand slowly dropped, without waiting for a response from his most beloved son.

Qi Jian's eyes were moist. He walked to the table, picked up the bowl of plum blossom soup cake he had brought, took a spoonful of soup and drank it slowly, and softly called: "Father."

He knew clearly in his heart everything that Emperor Ming had silently done for him. Ever since the death of his mother and concubine, Emperor Ming had ignored him, but the more he was like this, the safer he would be.

From confinement in the mansion to exile at the border, Emperor Ming had people secretly protecting him along the way, as well as the protection and experience of General Feng Yukuan, until he was strong enough to not be afraid of the violent storms that came his way.

After that, he returned home in armor and sent Zhang Mengyi and Lan Guiren into the palace. He conducted all kinds of tests and plans, and Emperor Ming silently cooperated. In addition, the seemingly fatuous and suspicious emperor on the dragon throne also silently and secretly assisted. , clearing the obstacles for him in the court, enriching his wings, forcing him to marry Gun Nanxi, and paving the way for him to unify the military forces of all parties in the East.He knows all these things.

As a king, Emperor Ming worked hard to make plans for Dong Qi's future. As a father, he also tried his best to pamper and protect his most beloved son.

He had done well enough, but Qi frame still couldn't forgive him, or to be precise, he couldn't say the word "forgiveness" in person.

Looking at his father's old and quiet appearance, Qi Zhi had mixed feelings.

He arranged for Xiao Yuan and Xiao Guang to enforce martial law in Qidu, and then returned to the Xingxin Palace, sat aside, and stayed with him until late at night. Before midnight, he ordered the palace officials to secretly groom Emperor Ming. makeup.

Three days later, the late Queen Qi Anran hanged herself in Fulin Hall, leaving behind two letters of apology, confessing that she had not trusted the late Emperor. 14 years ago, she ordered the late Concubine Xian to frame Chang Xinyi and Yuchi Lin for colluding with Qi Sheng to commit rebellion, which caused an uproar in the world. .

Three days later, Qi frame announced the death of Emperor Ming, saying that he was depressed because of the queen's betrayal and left in sadness, leaving behind an oral order to re-examine the old case.

Afterwards, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor Jing. He named the late emperor Emperor Hongwu Zhaoming and named King Han as King Han Zhong. He was in charge of foreign affairs and water conservancy affairs. He demoted King Rong to the title of county prince, but the rewards remained unchanged. For Qi Anran's self-confessed crime , Dali Temple was ordered to immediately re-investigate the old case thoroughly.

Half a month later, Dali Temple submitted a report on the closure of the case. After rigorous interrogation of the people involved, they found the secret letter that was lost that year. The handwriting was indeed a forgery and corresponded one-to-one with Qi Anran's self-confessed crimes. Qi Anran ordered those involved in the case to be severely punished according to law. However, it was forbidden to sit together. At the same time, an edict was issued to deprive Qi Anran of his title, sell Huang Zong's jade certificate, demote him to a commoner, and his coffin was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum.

At the same time, he also announced to the outside world that Ning Wang Qi Yijue committed suicide in prison and followed the late emperor out of regret for his mother's sins. However, out of brotherly love, he allowed his wife to live in Prince Ning's palace forever.

After a series of rewards and punishments for the old cases were resolved, the frame was officially announced to the world, and Concubine Yi was posthumously named Queen Jiarou Duanhui, thus vindicating Yuchi Lin's injustice and restoring the glory of the Yuchi family.

The sunset shrouded the sky. Qi Zhen was dressed in black uniform. He stood on the highest tower in the east. As far as he could see, he saw the prosperity of the dynasty. Although there were countless attendants and guards behind him, there were countless people around him. No one is with me.

He rubbed the crappy Chuyue embroidery on his sleeves and whispered to himself: "It's been so long, it's time to come back."

It had been more than half a month since the news of Yuchi Lin's rehabilitation reached Gu Yuchu's ears. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. The good news came faster than expected, but she was not as overjoyed as she had thought before.

She had obviously been planning for the old case for half her life, and had put everything that was most precious to herself and her sister on top of it. But when the day finally arrived as expected, she felt more at a loss after being relieved.

"One thing goes away, another one comes, haha." Gu Yuchu said to himself with a wry smile.

Indeed, the big stone of Yuchi's crime finally fell, and the Lejia family's right and wrong grievances came again. She began to doubt her destiny, and even somewhat hated her parents. Why did she have to give birth to her earlier? Leave yourself with these endless problems.

She knew very well how she managed to escape the abyss in Dongqi, but how could she be lucky enough to escape the murky water in front of her?

She held her chin and looked at the bright moon in the mountains.

Qi Jian has already accomplished everything he promised her. From now on, they really have nothing to do with each other.

Xiao Ling leaned against the window and looked at her back for a long time.

Qi Ji ascended the throne and Yu Chi was rehabilitated. The speed was beyond his expectation. It seemed that his powerful enemy had no patience to wait any longer.

The change of dynasties is a natural thing. The God of War of Dongqi proclaims himself emperor, Young Lord He He is in charge, and Xirong is eyeing him. Now the only founder of the four-nation alliance is Beiling Laowang. With wolfish ambitions and the struggle for hegemony, the world has become huge. Changes, where should the East-West border land, which has been peaceful for decades, go?

And what about this woman?Can I stand side by side with myself in this turbulent and chaotic world, or leave everything here behind and return to that person's side?
