King's man

Chapter 40

"Mother, you should be happy that the general has returned from victory, but why are you crying instead?" Yingxiu saw Yu Wanying leaning over her shoulders, her shoulders kept heaving.After being by Yu Wanying's side for so many years, she has rarely seen her lose her composure like this.While persuading Yingxiu, she handed over a clean silk handkerchief.

Yu Wanying took Sipa and waved her hand at Yingxiu, telling her to leave it alone.The general came back, and she was happy in her heart; but she had been worrying about him for so many days, and she felt wronged; and when she thought of him fighting bloody battles to die all his life, her heart ached.Now it's finally healed, and finally came back safely, all the emotions that had been pent up in her heart surged up all at once, and she couldn't help crying so much that she couldn't stop crying.It's good to be safe, it's good to be back.she thinks.Even if Xiaowan can't see you, knowing that you are safe, she can rest assured.

In Murong Mansion, Murong Su washed and dressed early in the morning, ready to enter the palace.Today is the day when the emperor awards rewards for meritorious deeds, and he doesn't care about the rewards. In the few days since he came back, he just wanted to see her.I don't know if there is a chance.The attendant prepared the horse for him, and he stepped on it with a brisk and unrestrained movement, then pulled the rein and rode towards the palace leisurely.

In the main body hall, Yang Xian had already written the imperial decree, and now he was sitting on the throne, lost in thought.He has pondered Du Jinghong's words countless times in his heart, but he is still hesitating.At the celebration banquet that day, his performance was not like everyone else's. He was too calm and calm. In this respect, he was like the emperor.Whenever he thinks of this, Yang Xian feels uneasy.He felt more and more that his cousin was right.In the past, I trusted him in every possible way and regarded him as a confidant brother. I even thought that I had no children, so I could entrust the country to him in the future.What on earth is this person thinking?Was he not willing to surpass himself in talent but still be inferior to him?Yang Xian asked himself more than once, but still didn't have an answer.In fact, he knew that he could not be cruel after all, he was not an indecisive person, if he really suspected him, he would not ask himself these questions.If it's someone else, he doesn't have to ask right or wrong, he's imprisoned first.But he is different.What will he do after he is rewarded with an official?Yang Xian still doesn't know.

Yang Hong, Murong Su and He Ping walked in from outside the hall together.Yang Xian watched them approach.Among the three, He Ping is the tallest and strong, and even though he is nearly forty years old, he still has extraordinary vigor; Murong Su is the youngest, but he is the most outstanding in appearance, handsome and handsome, and Yang Hong is tall, gentle, and leisurely.

"Your Majesty, I will see you!" The three of them saluted together.

"Aiqing is free of courtesy, and I will give you a seat!" Yang Xian said with a wave of his hand.The three sat down one after another.Manager Wang read out the imperial edict.After reading, the three thanked the emperor one by one.

"Give wine!" Yang Xian said, stepped down from the throne, and raised his glass to drink with the three of them. "The victory of this battle is due to the three contributors, especially the emperor's brother who went out on my behalf, stabilized the morale of the army, boosted morale, turned the tide of the battle, and finally won the victory." Yang Xian said, looking at Yang Hong, "brother If you want any rewards, just tell me, I will agree to anything!" Yang Xian stared at Yang Hong intently, not letting go of any expression on his face.

Yang Hong stood up with a smile, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty loves me so much, I don't dare to be a minister! Hong has a leisurely nature, and it is really uncomfortable to be restrained by military regulations for so long. Your Majesty will allow Hong to stay in the mansion for leisure, and Hong is very grateful!" The tone is light and soothing, and the smile is gentle and elegant.After finishing speaking, he offered the festival axe with both hands.

Yang Xian took the Jieyue and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor's mansion surpasses the fairyland in terms of comfort and comfort. The gods don't want to leave when they go. I will definitely go to the mansion to enjoy it some other day!" After finishing speaking, he turned and returned to the throne superior.

At this moment, Du Jinghong was fidgeting in Meixue Palace. "Is your lady uncomfortable?" Leng Xiang couldn't help asking when she saw Du Jinghong, who was always calm and unrestrained, hesitated at the moment.Du Jinghong raised her blue eyes and glanced at her. Leng Xiang has always been the most capable person in front of her, or can she go to find out the news?No, I'll go there myself.Du Jinghong thought to herself, and said, "I'm fine. Where's Lan Ling?" Leng Xiang asked, and hurriedly responded, "Concubine Lan is playing on the swing in the courtyard, I'll call her!"

"No need." Du Jinghong said, got up and walked towards the courtyard.It's starting to get cold.Lan Ling was swinging freely on the swing, the sun was shining from behind her, and the shadow cast on the ground swayed with him.Du Jinghong walked towards her. "Sister!" Lan Ling stopped, stretched out her hand and Radu Jinghong sat next to her.Du Jinghong also sat on the swing, and the anxiety in her heart suddenly calmed down.No matter what the world is like, as long as she is still by her side, she will feel at ease.She turned her head to Lan Ling and said, "If one day you want to leave here, would you like to?" , only reached out and hugged Du Jinghong's neck, "Wherever my sister is going, I will go!"

"You wait for me here. I'll go out for a while, and come as soon as I go." Du Jinghong said, got up and walked out.Du Jinghong approached the Zhengshen Hall step by step.In the hall, the three emperors, Yang Hong, sat quietly on the throne, and seemed a little tired, so he got up and left.Yang Xian looked up at them and nodded.Yang Hong turned around and was about to leave, but he heard the emperor say: "Brother Huang, stay here for a while." He turned back to face Yang Xian, seeing that Yang Xian was just staring at the Jin case in a daze, as if he was deep in thought.Yang Hong thought that he must be worried about Qingping's matter, so before he could open his mouth, he said to himself: "Your Majesty, Hong is powerless to do anything about Mr. Qingping's matter now." Said that Yang Xian still maintained the action just now, and said Without raising his head, he smiled and said lightly: "Your Majesty, please don't order anything else. Hong has neglected Madam for so long, and he still has to apologize!"

Yang Xian looked at the Jieyue on the case, then looked up at Yang Hong, and saw that he was still relaxed and relaxed, with a gentle and friendly smile.He was puzzled, or was my cousin and I suspicious?Yang Xian didn't speak again.Yang Hong bowed his hands and turned to leave.

Just as Yang Hong came out of Zhengshen Hall, he saw Du Jinghong approaching meanderingly.The two looked at each other, and Yang Hong couldn't help but secretly startled: She knew!It is said that Concubine Du Guixue is smart, talented and discerning, so it can be seen that what she said is true.Since she knew it, the emperor must know it too.Thinking back to the emperor's words when he was about to leave just now, "brother, please stay here", I suddenly realized that life and death are only in a moment.I didn't know it at the time, but thinking about it now, I feel terrified and terrified.

Seeing Yang Hong walking out of the hall, Du Jinghong knew the ending in his heart.Looking at Yang Hong again, he was sure that everything was as he had guessed.It's a pity that my cousin is soft-hearted after all.Unfortunately, she was powerless.In that instant, the outcome was sealed.

"From all over Pingguo, I only admire Dong Wang for his composure and calmness. Dong Wang is strategizing, and his ability is superior to that of the emperor. It is really inferior to be a prince!" Du Jinghong looked at Yang Hong and said.

Yang Hong looked at Du Jinghong, her blue eyes were like a nine-day fairyland, clear and deep, and her eyes were like a deep pool in winter, cold and clear.She knows, but it's okay.The outcome is set.He stopped and smiled calmly: "The imperial concubine is not only beautiful and amazing, but also talented. Unfortunately, the emperor doesn't understand."

Du Jinghong didn't look at him anymore, and didn't go to Zhengshen Hall anymore, she just turned around and left.Yang Hong looked at her figure: Since ancient times, it has been said that a beauty is a disaster, and she will really offend the emperor.Little do they know that it is those stupid kings who have made these peerless beauties, so interesting!Yang Hong thought about it, lifted his feet and left.

Yang Hong walked to the Qiankun Gate, and saw Murong Su in the gate looking back at the direction of the harem.He walked over and patted Murong Su on the shoulder: "Let's go, you will see her soon!" Murong Su turned around and walked out of Qiankun Gate with Yang Hong.

Yang Hong took the sedan chair all the way back to the palace. Before he got off the couch, the manager greeted him: "My lord, the assistant minister has been waiting in the main hall for a long time. I don't know what's going on." Yang Hong got off the sedan chair leisurely, with a calm and elegant smile on his face: " It's just right." He said and walked towards the main hall. "Hongzheng wanted to visit the mansion, but the assistant came in person. Hong just came back from the palace, and I kept the assistant waiting for a long time, please forgive me!"

When Chen Shihai saw his master coming back, he stood up and responded, "Where is it? The old minister is taking the liberty to visit. I hope Dong Wang doesn't mind." The two exchanged pleasantries, and sat down again.Chen Shihai opened his mouth again, explaining the purpose of his visit: "The dog was injured on the battlefield, and King Laodong took care of him. Madam is very concerned about it. The old minister thought he should take him home, and I will come to thank you another day!"

"Your Excellency is very polite. Your son is very brave. He saved Hong on the battlefield, and Hong is very grateful. Now he is being diagnosed and treated by the best doctor in the mansion. Hong is worried that it will be bad for his condition to change his doctor halfway through. When the son recovers, Hong will definitely send him to the assistant minister's residence in good condition, and please rest assured the assistant minister and his wife!"

Chen Shihai picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the worry on his brows became more and more serious.

"The assistant prime minister has devoted himself to the country and has made great achievements. Not to mention the veterans of the two dynasties, he is the prime minister of the three dynasties. Why not?" After Yang Hong finished speaking, he kept looking at Chen Shihai. A few drops came out and dripped on the clothes.Yang Hong pretended he didn't see it, and continued, "My son is absolutely indispensable in the war in the western region. As a general, others have absolutely nothing to say!"

Chen Shihai put down his glass, got up and said goodbye. "Think about it, old minister, and visit again!"

Yang Hong looked at Chen Shihai who was leaving, and smiled calmly.Old fox, you have no choice.A promising son and a hopeless daughter, would you choose the latter?

As soon as Chen Shihai returned to the mansion, he locked himself in the study.The Eastern King is plotting a rebellion. Seeing that he has not cared about politics in the past few years, who knows that he has planned it secretly for a long time.Although the emperor has a eccentric and self-willed temperament, he still relies a lot on himself, and he manages many things by himself.As for Dong Wang, Dong Wang is quite capable of controlling people, has strength and status, obviously, he is more suitable for that position.But the queen, although the emperor does not love him, he respects him. It is a pity that the queen cannot have a child. If she can give birth to a prince, it must be a prince.What about Seung-er?Sheng'er, I only have this one son... Chen Shihai couldn't sleep all night thinking about it.At dawn, he finally walked out of the study.Winners and losers have always been kings and losers, but reputation is not to be feared.Right now, I have no choice but to do so.

But it was said that Yang Xian was worried about Qingping's illness and wanted to cure him wholeheartedly, so he wrote an edict and posted it around the capital, looking for people with good medical skills.Doctors came in batch after batch, all of them were full of confidence when they came, and they were full of doubts when they took the pulse, and then they all shook their heads and left.It caused Qingping to be full of expectations again and again, and lost physically and mentally.After lying down for so long, day after day, when is the end?He began to feel that life would be worse than death.He began to think of death frequently.However, one day he found that he couldn't even seek death, so he just lay on the bed like that, with his hands and feet bound like chickens, life and death were beyond his control.This powerlessness to himself and the world made him despair!He was already tired of waiting for the dark at dawn, and looking forward to the dawn after the dark.

"Your Majesty, give me a glass of wine!" Finally one day, Qingping looked at the hanging beams on the roof and said, "I don't want to bother you and torture myself."

After hearing this, Yang Xian raised his head and stared at him stupidly, without speaking.Qingping glanced at him.He really shouldn't have looked at him, even just once.Yang Xian looked at him deeply, the longing and caring eyes, the sad and worried eyes made him unbearable.At this moment, his heart softened again, and he began to feel the long-lost nostalgia for the world again.

The dry eyes became wet, and tears overflowed from the sockets and slid down.Yang Xian wiped it off for him, leaned over and hugged him so tightly that he was afraid that he would lose him if he was not careful.He was crying, and Qingping found that he was crying just like herself.Qingping instantly understood that he was just as depressed, painful and desperate as she was.Then, Qingping couldn't help moving her arms to hug Yang Xian.Then, there are only the two of them left in the whole world. They share the loneliness, hardships and sufferings of living together, and they enjoy the comfort of knowing each other and the warmth of being together.

There are still doctors coming one after another, coming and going, but there is nothing they can do.Seeing Qingping getting depressed day by day, Yang Xian also became anxious day by day.Finally, a quack doctor who hung the pot to help the world came, claiming to be well-informed and specializing in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

Qingping was lying on the bed, giving up all hope for these things.The doctor asked him to stretch out his hand, and he stretched out his hand, and told him to open his mouth, and he opened his mouth, and he cooperated with his actions, but his eyes were dull and his heart was ashen.The doctor had seen Qingping's pulse and the prescription, got up and said to the emperor: "This young master has been ill for a long time, and his qi and yin are deficient. The prescription is correct, but it's a pity that the introduction is missing. Salt. This is The most common and the most easily overlooked. Young Master’s body is too weak to make a big tonic, so the prescription is very slow. If you add a little salt, you can introduce the medicine into the meridian, and get twice the result with half the effort.”

Ouyang Zi came after hearing the news, and nodded slightly after hearing the news, thinking that someone came to sabotage the plan, fortunately Qingping is not important now, let him go.So he bowed his head and praised the quack doctor, willing to bow down.

Qingping's side is getting better day by day, she can gradually get out of bed and walk around, and she is overjoyed.Seeing Qingping like this, Yang Xian cared more and more for him, his whole heart was on him, he indulged in the Temple of Cultivating Mind every day, and for a while he didn't care about political affairs.

Since Du Jinghong met Yang Hong that day, all enthusiasm disappeared.For a while, personal affairs and family affairs are the world's affairs, and all of them feel cold.What's the use of my own peerless beauty and my talent and poetry?Yu Ji, he can't be alone in the harem, and he can't lead Yiren to live in the world; Yu Jia, his father has no children, so he can't inherit the family business, and he just looks forward to the decline of the Du family;After thinking about it, I can't be at peace.I also think that the world is unpredictable, I don't want to have that entanglement with my cousin, and I don't expect my cousin to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, and it is even more difficult for me to meet Lan Ling, so that I can find a piece of life and peace in the hopelessness.I thought that I would spend my whole life in the harem, but who would have thought that something would happen again?The cousin has such a temperament, so he will let Yang Hong go soft-hearted. Yang Hong is extremely capable and has royal blood, and he is unwilling to be inferior to others. If the cousin raises his troops to confront him, another bloody storm will follow.In the history of regime change, there is always a game of life and death. It was not the same when the first emperor was in power, how long it took.I have read too many history books, and these things are too familiar.The rise and fall of dynasties, the ups and downs of prosperity, and the continuation of life and death are all the same.Everything happens for a reason.The origin and extinction are always there, and it is reasonable to come and go.

In the middle of the day, Du Jinghong took Lan Ling to the Hall of Cultivating Heart.The yard in winter is barren and empty.The vertical and horizontal branches of the sycamore tree stretched in the air, bare and exposed to the sun.Under the corridor, two golden brocade brocades are bathed in the sun, combing each other's feathers.The golden feathers are brilliant, and the sunlight is very warm.Yang Xian accompanied Qingping for a walk in the courtyard, the two supported each other, walking slowly step by step.It also looks very warm. "You guys are here, long time no see!" Qingping greeted them first when she saw them, her voice was soft, and one could see the joy in his serene expression.

"Brother Qingping is well, Brother Emperor is happy, and my sister and I are also happy watching!" Lan Ling responded with a smile.The smile on her cheeks where the sun shines is like a flower, as if hiding beauty and hope.

Yang Xian turned his head to look at these two people, and thought of Qingping's painting for them, both beautiful and four shadows complement each other, it's really amazing.Seeing them coming, Qingping was overjoyed, and asked Yang Xian to help him sit on the stone bench under the sycamore tree, and the others also sat around the stone table. "I still remember the piano music played by the noble concubine in the imperial garden that night. Can I ask the noble concubine to play it again?" Qingping said, looking at Du Jinghong, seeing her face bright and moving under the sun, there happened to be a The branches of the phoenix tree projected under her eyes, like a veil, dividing her face into two halves. The lower half had a delicate nose and bright red lips, while the upper half had a clear forehead and shining blue eyes. A unique beauty, still the same as before. It was thrilling to see.

Yang Xian and Lan Ling also looked at Du Jinghong.Du Jinghong replied, "At dusk today, I will play the piano again." Then she looked at Yang Xian with a peaceful and serene gaze, "Cousin, Lan Ling and I want to go to Shuiyue Nunnery to serve our aunt. I hope my cousin will be kind."
