After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 188 I'm glad I'm not dead
"I thought you were really dead."

His Majesty wiped the tears from his eyes, and after a moment he continued to murmur, "It's good that you're not dead, it's good that you're not dead..."

Ma San, no, Ji Yunzhang not only has a big beard, but also has a scar on his face from the wing of his nose to his eye socket.

His home in Jin Peng was not airtight, so he let Wei Chi go back in a panic. He needed to hide deeper.

So he stayed in the house for more than two months and no one recognized him.

Looking at His Majesty, Ji Yunzhang felt as if he was in another world and that he was once young again.

But now...

He frowned, "Your Majesty, why, why..."

It was obvious that the battle had been won, military power had been concentrated, and new policy reforms had been implemented.

Why did it end up like this?

Since he entered the palace, none of the guards at the door or patrolling the palace were familiar faces.

Meng Xuanyi looked up and said, "Yun Zhang, I am a tyrant, a tyrant."

"How do you think future history books will evaluate me?"

"Prime Minister Qin is gone, and so is Master Zhuang."

"Without Prime Minister Qin and Prime Minister Zhuang, Da Qi will really be destroyed."

"I am useless. I stood aside and watched the teacher back then, and I can't protect Master Zhuang now."

"My old ministers have turned against me, and I am now isolated and helpless."

Meng Xuanyi grabbed an unfinished memorial on the table and threw it out.

The folded paper was turned over on the ground.

The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue submitted a memorial requesting the renovation of the charity hall.

He threw out many more pieces of paper.

The Jingzhao Yin submitted a memorial requesting that the prison in the capital be merged with the prison in the Dali Temple for easier management.

The Firearm Battalion submitted a memorial, and the Gunpowder Director Shan resigned from his post.

Wenyuanbo submitted a memorial requesting that his eldest son Xu Qifeng be named Crown Prince.

……

They are all trivial things.

Ji Yunzhang knew that His Majesty was being placed on a high pedestal.

He became a string-puller.

This imperial city that everyone longs for has now become your Majesty's prison.

Meng Xuan stood up, slowly walked to the door of the imperial study, and sat down on the high threshold.

He looked at the starless night sky.

"The mission they gave you is to assassinate me?"

Ji Yunzhang was stunned for a moment, and after a while he uttered one word, "Yes."

Hearing the confirmed news behind him, Meng Xuanyi smiled.

“They still can’t wait.”

"Even if they imprison me in this tiny imperial study, they can't wait."

"They are full of evil ambitions. If the Western Jin Dynasty makes a comeback, can they still cope with it?!"

Suddenly snowflakes began to float in the sky, and tiny white dots slowly fell from the sky.

His voice was like the first snow, cold and lonely.

"One wrong step, every wrong step."

"Yun Zhang, please leave. Since you resigned from your post, you should not get involved here anymore."

"In the winter of the fourth year of Zhiguan, my reign as emperor has come to an end."

Suddenly there was a burst of rapid horse hooves sounds, and the imperial city guards actually rushed in on horseback.

"Minister, I am too late to save you!"

When I ran to the side, I saw His Majesty still sitting quietly at the door.

Ji Yunzhang frowned. The dozens of cavalrymen outside did not look like they were here to rescue people, but rather to kill people.

King Sheng, who was in the lead, was stunned at first when he saw Meng Xuanyi sitting on the doorstep.

Then he turned his head and glared at the house manager beside him.

When the steward saw that the Majesty was still alive, he thought that there were assassins sent by him behind the Majesty.

The steward frowned, "What's wrong with you!"

Regardless of whether His Majesty is dead or seriously injured, he will not see the sunrise tomorrow, and they are here to rescue him. Meng Xuanyi stood up slowly, "Brother Sheng was thinking of taking advantage of the situation."

"It's just that Uncle Prince Qing didn't play by the rules and rushed to the palace first to force him to abdicate."

Prince Sheng sat on his tall horse, looking at his brother without saying a word.

Meng Xuanyi took out the jade seal from his arms.

"Release the Queen and Fu'er. From now on, they will be commoners."

"Brother Sheng, you should know that Fu'er is only three years old. She is not a prince but just a girl."

Meng Xuansheng's lips twitched, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I just heard that an assassin had sneaked into the palace, so I came to rescue you."

The manager quietly gestured to the back, and one person in the team quietly went out.

Soon a dark shadow climbed up the opposite palace wall, and the hidden sword in his hand was aimed at the white figure.

Meng Xuanyi knew what he was thinking. He didn't want to be branded as someone who killed his brother and seized the throne.

But in a dynasty like this, what does it matter if I become an emperor?

If it were him, Meng Xuansheng, would he be able to become the greatest emperor of all time?

A sharp arrow came through the air.

"Be careful!" Ji Yunzhang's expression suddenly changed.

As he pulled Meng Xuanyi's sleeve, the short arrow hit his chest.

The founding jade seal of Da Qi that Meng Xuanyi was holding fell out of his hand and broke into two pieces on the ground.

It also seems to foreshadow the fall of this dynasty.

"There are assassins!!"

The steward shouted loudly, and immediately the cavalry team became chaotic.

Only Meng Xuansheng stood still.

Ji Yunzhang held Meng Xuanyi's body as he leaned back, "Your Majesty..."

Meng Xuanyi smiled, "We met... we know each other... Liru, I am sorry for dragging you... into the abyss..."

Ji Yunzhang was pulled away by someone.

He stared blankly. They waited until Meng Xuanyi closed his eyes before calling the imperial physician.

The steward stared at him fiercely, "Why don't you do it?!"

Ji Yunzhang turned to look at the steward, and after a while he murmured, "Your Majesty is a good man..."

The manager let him go, "I originally thought you were a talent, but now I see that you are just a gambler with a soft heart."

Ji Yunzhang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He always thought that all he needed to do was drive the Western Jin Dynasty out.

When he arrived in Jinpeng, he thought that all he had to do was to catch the corrupt officials.

Now he realized that everything was in vain.

When we meet, we know each other.

Your Majesty, these words are not addressed to the Queen, but to him.

When he first met His Majesty, he was still a teenager. The Crown Prince did not yet have a Crown Princess, and he was not yet grown up.

There is a peach forest on the farm of Xinling Marquis.

Two young boys were arguing over a peach orchard.

There, in addition to the manor of Xinling Hou Mansion, there is also a royal manor.

"Report! There is no one in Fengyi Palace!"

The steward gritted his teeth, his expression grim for a moment, "Search! We must find it even if we have to dig three feet underground!"

Prince Sheng's expression on his horse finally relaxed a little, "Don't look for them anymore, just let them go."

The steward's expression remained unchanged, "Your Highness, have you forgotten the Prime Minister's instructions?"

"If you don't remove the root of the problem, there will be endless troubles. Your Highness, do you want to be called a regicide and sit in that position?!"

Ji Yunzhang looked at the two founding jade seals at the feet of Prince Sheng's mount.

I sneered in my heart.

A puppet emperor, he will only follow in your Majesty's footsteps.

If one day, he, the emperor, makes the prime minister unhappy.

His death will only be more miserable than your Majesty's!
