"What Your Highness said is true." Xie Taichu approved.

Zhao Yuan looked at him with some surprise: "I thought real people only respected Taoism, and didn't care about Confucius and Mencius."

"Qingxing Pavilion accommodates the directors of hundreds of schools, and has learned all kinds of masters' studies. It doesn't just stick to the principles of Taoism. Besides, in Taoism, it also talks about the unity of heaven and man. Heaven and humanity have their own thinking, which is not the same as what His Highness said. They coincide with each other." Xie Taichu said, "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. There is only one way of heaven, and there are hundreds of paths in the world, how can one road lead to darkness?"

Xie Taichu looked at the sky and said: "Your Highness has had a few glasses of wine, why don't you take a rest earlier and talk about it tomorrow."

"No. I have to drink a few more cups." Zhao Yuan rarely became willful.

Xie Taichu was unwilling at first, but Zhao Yuan looked at him with Xiahong on his face, his somewhat willful appearance made him unable to say "no".

"We can only use some more rice wine." Xie Taichu said.

Zhao Yuan nodded, and he went to the kitchen to pour wine.

The glutinous rice was sprinkled with koji, and it was placed next to the stove to comfort it years ago, and a raw egg was added, so it became milky white within ten days.Now open the lid and smell it, the sweet aroma of wine wafts out.

The wine is ready.

Xie Taichu made a pot and came back, Zhao Yuan held up the lamp and looked up at the wall chart carefully.

"What is Your Highness looking at?"

"According to what the general said, if the Tatars really go south in a big way, they will first occupy Ningxia Town, then go south along the Yellow River into Weizhou City, and occupy the entire land of King Qing." He observed carefully on the map, "then Weizhou City As a stronghold, go south, go to Lintao first, and then enter Guanzhong. Qinchuan is eight hundred miles away in Guanzhong, and there is almost no danger to defend. Xie Taichu poured wine, handed him a glass, and watched him lightly sip under the lamp After taking a sip, his eyes brightened a little.

"Delicious." Zhao Yuan praised.

Xie Taichu smiled, took his previous words, and continued: "It's more than that, Xi'an was originally the fiefdom of the King of Qin. However, the Qin Dynasty's mansion has no owner for several generations, and Xi'an is like an empty city. It is easy to take the whole of Shaanxi. Ning and Ning are all in your hands, and then go east along the Weihe River, Luoyang, Kaifeng, into the Central China Plain, and a flat river... the lower reaches of the Weihe River go straight to Xuzhou."

He tapped Xuzhou on the map.

"Xuzhou has no danger to defend, and occupying Xuzhou Mansion will cost a lot of troops to defend." Zhao Yuan shook his head, "I don't understand."

"Xuzhou's waterways extend in all directions, and it is a must-pass in the middle of the Grand Canal. In the south, you can enter Yingtianfu to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and you will have no worries about the follow-up supply of food and grass. In the north, you can go directly to the Tongzhou Ferry in Shuntianfu, and send troops directly to the feet of the emperor. As long as you can hold firmly Xuzhou is like a dagger, piercing Daduan's heart and lungs, and his future is in danger!"

Zhao Yuan's face became serious: "There is such a possibility."

"No!" He put down the wine glass in his hand, and turned his wheelchair to the front of the table to grind his pen, "This matter is critical, and we need to call Ningxia Governor Lou Zhen as soon as possible, please be on guard, and send the memorial to the capital as soon as six hundred miles away, and urgently call for military equipment forage--"

"Lou Zhen and Jin Wu worked hand in hand. How could he take His Highness's letter to heart?" Xie Taichu said, "What's more, these people may not be unable to see through the possibility we deduce today."

Zhao Yuan had already picked up his pen to write, but when he heard this, the tip of the pen paused, and a long mark was drawn on the paper.After a while, he put his pen down.

"It's me who speaks lightly."

"No, think again, Your Highness."

"Jinwu's [-] black-feathered arrows were sold to the Tatars." Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Why? His status depends on Zhao Ji and Daduan. People enter the country. If it is for his own selfishness, if Daduan withers in the future, how can he survive alone."

"He is short of money." Xie Taichu replied, "Or, Zhao Ji is short of money."

"Is the real person willing to teach me?"

"The private sale of weapons by eunuchs in the army has been repeatedly banned in the frontiers, because the profits are too great. The output of annexing military fields is even more incalculable. But where did all the money go?" Xie Taichu sitting at the table Opposite, said.

"When Zhao Ji was King Ning, he had [-] personal soldiers, four cavalry battalions, and a total of [-] good horses. With such an army alone, the daily money and food was daunting. What's more, in the mausoleum , Jinyiwei, Yulinwei, as well as the guards of Xuanfu and Datong can be dispatched by King Ning. To maintain this kind of contacts, there are only two things to make people go through life and death: one is power, and the other is money."

"So, as long as Zhao Ji asks for money, and still does such an earth-shattering conspiracy, does Jinwu have other ways? He knows that drinking poison will quench his thirst, but he is thirsty." Xie Taichu said, "Let's talk about the Tatars By crossing the border and plundering, I was able to lure the tiger away from the mountains and kill His Highness, and I gained real benefits from the Tatars, and found out the reality of Ningxia Town. If I were a Tatar, I would also do such a business."

Zhao Yuan was stunned: "Is that so?"

"People's hearts are unpredictable, dangerous in mountains and rivers. Opportunities are full of dangers, and Yu Si hides." [Note 1]

"I have been weak since I was a child. Although I grew up in Kaiping, I have never been to the side wall. The first time I saw a Tatar was not long ago. I think that I am cautious enough to survive in the capital and watch the situation." Zhao Yuan Laughing at himself, "However, when it comes to the game of the world, it is thousands of times more complicated than the chessboard. I am shallow."

"His Royal Highness has suffered a catastrophe in life, but he does not feel depressed and resentful because of it. He still has compassion for the living people, which is far beyond that of the current generation. Don't belittle yourself."

Zhao Yuan's many puzzles since Ye Ling were finally answered today, on the last night of this year.

The golden bell of the Taoist temple behind the village rings.

New Year is here.

The sound of firecrackers became more intense.

Amidst the children's yelling, all kinds of fireworks also flew into the sky.

Seen from the door, the night was like day, and Xie Taichu's face was clearly outlined in the flickering light.Even if he encountered a catastrophe in his life, and more or less had countless resentments because of this person's helplessness, at this moment, Zhao Yuan found that his love for him had never faded.

"After the Spring Festival, the beginning of spring will begin soon." Zhao Yuan said suddenly.

Xie Taichu was taken aback.

"Xie Taichu, why did you come here?"

"I……"

"Don't tell me you owe the prince such lies." Zhao Yuan interrupted him, "If it was for the prince, what happened that night... shouldn't have happened."

"..."

Xie Taichu was silent.

Some words are not suitable to say, and some words cannot be said.

After thinking about it, I was speechless for a while.

But Zhao Yuan didn't seem to expect him to speak clearly, so he smiled softly: "Can you...don't go."

Xie Taichu looked at him.

"Since the Yiling Rebellion, I have seen a lot of injustice in the world. I have repeatedly wanted to change but drifted with the tide because I have no power. I even thought, if I hadn't been so self-indulgent back then, if I had read more strategies for governing the country, I would have Learn some vertical and horizontal skills, my relatives may be saved, and I... still have a home to go back to." Zhao Yuan said, "You are also innocent, I shirk all the blame on you, I am just a perfunctory weakling attitude."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be harsh on yourself."

"I'm not as strong as you. I can save all generations and all people. But I want to try. If there is another time, I can at least save Yingzi and Zhang Liangbao." Zhao Yuan grabbed the crutches beside him and held it under his armpit. He swayed and stood firm, then he cupped his fists and bowed.

Xie Taichu hurriedly supported him.

Zhao Yuan couldn't afford it.

"I know that I am despicable, and I will go back on my word." Zhao Yuan said, "I hope the real person will teach me that I have the ability to save the person in front of me."

For the time being, he could only stand on crutches, but he bent down, and he already had the demeanor of a virtuous corporal.

Xie Taichu was a little dazed.

It seems to have seen the self who begged the master to save the world.

He should rejoice.

——The selected person has embarked on the right path, and has the appearance of an emperor faintly.In time, it should be easy to create another peaceful and prosperous age.

He was a little sour again.

——This person is originally a pearl lying in an oyster. Only I know his preciousness and beauty, so I take good care of it.Now I have to wipe off the dust and bloom in the world.Everyone admires it, and everyone sings it.

Xie Taichu's internal ganglion showed signs of turmoil again, he just felt that all the ambitions in his heart had come out, forcing him to sit still.

He supported Zhao Yuan's wrist, and slowly helped Zhao Yuan get up.

"I came here to treat His Highness's leg disease. I am not in a hurry to leave. Naturally, I can teach His Highness. It's just... Your Highness, I need to get something in exchange."

Zhao Yuan was overjoyed and confused: "What does the real person want? I don't have anything now."

Xie Taichu lifted his chin and kissed his lips.

"Yes." Xie Taichu smiled with satisfaction, he heard himself say, his voice seemed far away, near near, evil and righteous, "Like that night, it is the best reward."

Without waiting for Zhao Yuan's reaction, he put his arms around his waist, turned around and pressed against the door panel.Before he could react, Xie Taichu had already pinched his waist, making them stick very close.

Zhao Yuan's eyes were already at a loss.

"Thank you Taichu..."

"First of all, His Highness needs to walk freely. Then we can practice riding and shooting in the future." Xie Taichu whispered in his ear, "Otherwise, if you really want to gallop on the battlefield, it will be too dangerous to fall and bump."

How could the people who just had sex with each other two days ago resist it?

Zhao Yuan only felt that Xie Taichu was really dangerous at this moment.

He was tense all over, sticking to the door panel, trying to stay away from Xie Taichu, but he didn't know where to escape.

"Really, I can barely walk. There are some things I can do by myself, so I won't bother you." Zhao Yuan said.

"Your Highness, do you still remember what I said that day?"

"What, what?"

"If your Highness's legs recover, you can change the place... change the posture..." Xie Taichu's words gradually became low, and only Zhao Yuan could hear the rest of the words.

Zhao Yuan only felt that he was only slightly drunk before, but now he is really drunk.

Last night's absurdity shouldn't have been.

Now being played in Xie Taichu's arms, he can only expect more for no reason.

Daoist Ningshan lived up to his expectations, he put his arms around his leg sockets while speaking, and pressed on the door two more points.

"I, I can't." Zhao Yuan begged for mercy, "I really can't..."

"Your Highness, how can you say that about yourself." Xie Taichu kissed his neck, causing Zhao Yuan to gasp again and again, and then he raised his head. In the night, his brows and eyes were less fairy-like, and more evil, not quite the same as before.

"This kind of exchange, can His Highness agree?" Xie Taichu asked.

Zhao Yuan pressed the door with both hands behind his back, trying to grab something, but he had nowhere to go, so he could only put his arms around Xie Taichu's shoulders: "Taichu, I..."

Thank you for your move.

All words are broken.

"If your Highness doesn't say anything, it will be regarded as an agreement."

"You... how could you..." Zhao Yuan was dumbfounded at his brazenness.

"Your Highness still lacks strength in both legs, you should practice standing on one leg more." Xie Taichu kissed him and said earnestly, "I am duty-bound..."

From Zhao Yuan's place, he could still hear what he said.

Only a little instinct remains.

After the fierce battle, Zhao Yuan lost his strength, and Xie Taichu tidied him up obediently. A moment before falling asleep, he murmured in a low voice: "I had a dream this morning. I dreamed about my father, brother and mother..."

Xie Taichu said softly, "Your Highness, rest."

"I want to stand up."

"Ah."

"I want to ride a horse."

"it is good……"

"The future...no one should lose the future." After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, his voice was muffled.

Xie Taichu wiped the sweat from his forehead, then bowed his head and kissed again: "Your Highness will do it."

"... In the beginning, a happy new year."

He didn't seem to be able to tell where he was, so he called out "in the beginning".After saying this, he fell asleep in a daze.

It was midnight, and the fireworks outside filled the air.

Xie Taichu is in the fireworks, look at his sleeping face.Zhao Yuan had a faint smile and a peaceful face.

He has walked too many evil paths, far away from his original intention. The love, hatred, anger, and ignorance suppressed by the ruthless way are like black vines, intertwined in his heart and cannot be cut off.

"Your Highness, happy new year." He whispered beside Zhao Yuan.

There must be no more tragic dreams tonight.
