This was a small banquet, and not many people were invited.
On his deathbed, A Yao told the emperor that under no circumstances should he reveal that he had been assassinated by assassins from the Northern Frontier and had been wounded.
Otherwise, it will certainly cause great turmoil.
Imperial power will also be shaken!
As a result, he was branded with infamy, and the two conspired to stage an assassination attempt on the emperor. However, the emperor saw through his treacherous intentions and thus betrayed his own family for the greater good.
From that moment on, there was no longer a younger brother in this world who had grown up with him, who would stick to him and call him "Royal Brother"...
Although this matter was kept secret, almost everyone who was interested could guess who had killed A Yao.
People just don't dare to discuss it...
At that time, Prince Yao happened to know Master Wei.
Unbeknownst to him, Master Wei had always secretly harbored feelings for the woman he admired. To avoid harming his pregnant concubine, he took her away and pretended she was his mistress.
The child born, Wei Jing, was naturally handed over to his legal wife to raise.
He wanted to hide Wei Jing's identity, but the course of many things is not something that can be controlled by human effort.
Wei Jing eventually went to the emperor.
At a glance, the emperor recognized that this was his younger brother's child.
That day, he hid in his palace and cried and laughed all afternoon.
After he came out, he was still the dignified emperor.
He is indeed a member of the royal family; like father, like son.
Wei Jing was extremely talented, and the emperor had always kept a close eye on him without saying a word.
It wasn't until the battle at the border that Wei Jing truly made a name for himself.
And he could finally stop hiding it and openly show favoritism towards Wei Jing!
Everything he did was never intended to praise Wei Jing to the point of ruin; he simply hoped that Wei Jing could be happier and carry on his father's wishes.
Even now, the emperor no longer has the courage to tell the truth of what happened back then.
But if I can do something for Ayao, then my wish will have been fulfilled...
The emperor listened intently to everything he said.
The person before me is the ruler of the world; he has no need, nor any reason, to lie to me.
What he said must be the truth.
"Then why has Your Majesty never told me? If you had told me, how could I have blamed you? Since this is A-Yao's thought, I can understand it!"
"What good would it do if I told you? Could Ayao come back? He can't. Even if I don't want to admit it, his death is still related to me. I feel so guilty, and I'm heartbroken every day..."
The emperor's eyes reddened, and his expression was one of deep sorrow.
"What about Wei Jing? Since the Emperor already knows he is A Yao's flesh and blood, why send him to the battlefield? Swords have no eyes; what if something happens to him...?"
Before the emperor could finish asking his question, he shook his head with a wry smile and muttered an explanation to himself.
"My children are all useless, mediocre at best. But I am old. Who will lead Nanjing in the future? Do I really want to let the Northern Frontier annex me?"
"Wei Jing is a promising talent. I want to nurture him, and he must earn everyone's trust. This battle is a necessary experience for him, and I... will not allow him to back down!"
The emperor remained silent, his lips pressed together, only now realizing just how much he, as emperor, had endured.
Over the years, they have seemed to enjoy endless glory, but in reality, their lives have been filled with devastation and bloodshed...
"I will obey my elder brother's wishes in everything."
...
Wei Jing was no fool when it came to his background. All the things he had experienced over the years made it clear to him that he had countless connections with the palace and the royal family.
But he didn't care about any of that.
Now, Nanjing is beset by numerous internal and external troubles. Even if he solves his own problems, the people are still suffering. How can he be at peace with himself?
Therefore, he was willing to go to this battle.
Once she has completely rendered Bei Sai powerless to fight back, he will naturally ask her about her background and everything else about herself!
Five days later, he prepared to set off.
Before this, he had received news that Jiang Mingwei had already left.
He paused slightly, his eyes filled with a sense of loss, and a dense, needle-like pain welled up in his heart.
He longed to ride off and chase after Jiang Mingwei, to tell her of his love for her and his longing for her, but he did not want Jiang Mingwei to endure her previous life any longer.
She is free-spirited by nature, so why should she restrain herself?
So he held back.
Qingfeng brought him a purse, saying that Jiang Mingwei wanted to give it to him before she left.
The embroidery was so poor that it was impossible to tell what she was embroidering.
But the moment he held it in his hand, a warmth appeared in Wei Jing's eyes.
He noticed that the purse seemed to be able to be opened, and he was slightly taken aback. As if guided by a divine inspiration, he gently pulled the purse open and saw what appeared to be a note inside.
His heart was racing, and his hands were trembling as he slowly unfolded the note!
With just one glance, his eyes lit up.
"I'll be waiting for you twenty miles outside the capital. You'll lead the team!"
After turning to Qingfeng and giving him instructions, Wei Jing picked up his spear, mounted Zhuifeng, and galloped toward the city gate!
He maintained excellent control throughout the journey.
Now, Zhui Feng and he are in perfect harmony and will never clash with anyone in the city.
At the city gate, the Grand Secretary smiled and saw them off.
"I wish you a safe return. When you do, the Emperor and I will tell you everything. Until then... focus wholeheartedly on winning this battle for Nan Jing!"
"I will certainly live up to your trust."
