General's Good Friday

Is it?

And... still hurt your face at that time?

He scratched the back of his head, feeling that he seemed to be able to remember something deep in his memory, but he never paid attention to the guards sent by him from the Habayashi Army, Imperial Guard, or military camps around him.

Because under normal circumstances, no matter how good-looking the guards are, he will not hook them up. After all, rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests, so he won't make fun of his own safety. Therefore, he doesn't care what those people look like. Need to care and never pay attention to remember everything about them.

However, he always had a feeling—in those blank memories, there seemed to be exceptions, and there must be exceptions.

Although he was as careless as a spring breeze blowing over a long tassel, he had also noticed...

"You...are you telling the truth?"

The prince's brain hurts from thinking about it, but he can't remember what it is, so he can only grab Xiaobai's sleeve and ask.

"Shi Zhong, did he really go to You City with this king three years ago?"

"That's right..." Xiaobai looked at him with some worry and fear, "My lord, what's wrong with you? Your complexion doesn't look very good..."

The prince waved his hand: "I'm fine - aren't you in a hurry? Go."

"Oh... oh, then I... leave?" Xiaobai moved his body and asked uneasy, "Don't worry too much..."

The prince coughed twice, turned his face away: "What's the trouble? Go!"

Will this king bother him?

The Lang Zhongling Lord Qin just arrived on duty today, and his subordinates rushed to report that His Royal Highness Qingzhou King has been waiting for a long time.

He was so bluffed that Master Qin almost fell in public before he even got one foot on the steps.

"Your Highness..." Master Qin entered the room with fists in his arms, and hastily bowed down, "I didn't know His Highness was here in person, so I was far away from welcoming you. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

"Master Qin, please hurry up." The prince turned his head, gave him a little help, and said straightforwardly without much greetings, "My king is here to visit today, and I just want to ask Lord Qin about something about the past."

Master Qin nodded and said respectfully, "Please speak, Your Highness."

The prince smiled slightly, concealing the tension in his heart, and said calmly: "Master Qin has served in the Habayashi Army for many years. I don't know if you remember that three years ago, the emperor sent the Habayashi Army to escort me to Youcheng to supervise the battle. Did you ever remember?" Did something special happen?"

Mr. Qin was a little puzzled: "I have the courage to ask Your Highness, this 'special matter' refers to—"

"Ahem..." The prince himself didn't know what to say, he hesitated for a moment, and could only say, "Anyway, it's about that team of the Habayashi Army."

"Well..." Lord Qin frowned, "That year, because His Royal Highness came to supervise the battle in Youcheng, the morale of the soldiers was high, and they stood guard at the city gate for nearly half a month, and finally together with the General Hussars and other troops, they defeated all the armies of the Xiongnu. It was really a beautiful battle to strengthen my prestige in Daqing..."

The prince listened to him anxiously, but when he heard him say a lot of clichés that had nothing to do with what he wanted, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient, knowing that he probably found the wrong person. Yang, presumably would not know anything.

Just thinking like this, he heard him continue to say: "However, let's talk about our Habayashi Army... At that time, His Highness came to the city gate to supervise the battle, and his son Lang naturally guarded the city gate with His Highness, facing the enemy directly, and guarding His Highness. , During the period, there were many dangers, so there is no need to repeat it, Your Highness is so brave, it really makes us feel ashamed..."

Hearing this, the prince closed his eyes, thinking that the prince should go find someone else.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Master Qin turn his head: "I must say that there was something special about that time... Maybe there were many casualties in that time, but I, the middle son of the Habayashi Army, probably His Majesty chose one of them on purpose." The team was brave and good at fighting, so no one was killed. The most seriously injured... Oh, this Highness probably remembers that the ones that His Majesty rewarded after returning to the court are the current Zuo Zhonglang general Shi Zhong, and the Xiongnu towards the city gate. When the rocket was shot, he was the one who sacrificed his life to save His Highness, and burned half of his face... Eh? Your Highness?"

Mr. Qin was talking, when he saw the prince's face suddenly turned pale, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, wondering if he said something that shouldn't be said.

Just as he was recalling what he had said, while looking at the prince's face uneasily, ready to plead guilty at any time, the prince waved his hand without saying a word, turned around and walked out slowly holding the door.

"My minister... my minister respectfully sends His Highness off!"

"You mean, you met the prince on the road?"

Shi Zhong was lying on the head of the bed, while peeling the boiled egg in his hand, while chatting casually with Xiao Bai.

"That's right," Xiao Bai sat on the chair, gently twisting his aching waist, "My lord also asked me, Big Brother Shi, if you have any complaints against him."

"Oh?" Shi Zhong raised his eyebrows, "What do you say?"

Xiaobai grinned: "Of course I'm telling the truth! I said you didn't mention him! But I don't know why, the prince seemed a little unhappy at first, but then it got better, and he also said that he would be beautiful for you in front of His Majesty." A few words will not affect your continuing to be an official!"

"Really?" Shi Zhong smiled casually, and after peeling the egg, he put the whole egg into his mouth and chewed it.

Xiaobai diligently cleaned the egg shells and chicken bones at the side, and then filled a large bowl of chicken soup from the casserole stewing chicken next to him and handed it to him.

Seeing Shi Zhong raised his head and drank the chicken soup, Xiaobai thought of something, and asked again: "By the way, Brother Shi, did you go to Youcheng with the prince three years ago?"

"Well," Shi Zhong put down the bowl, took the handkerchief he handed over, wiped the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "How do you know?"

Xiaobai pursed his lips and smiled: "I came over the other day, and vaguely heard the general say something outside the door, so it was true."

Shi Zhong smiled lightly: "Why are you asking this?"

"Oh... because I accidentally mentioned this matter to the lord just now," Xiaobai curled his lips, "the lord doesn't seem to know! I thought you two had known each other for many years, but when it comes to what happened three years ago, the lord It seems that I have no impression at all, and I don’t remember you.”

The corners of Shi Zhong's mouth raised slightly, but his eyes were obscured: "...Really?"

Xiaobai thought for a while, and felt that he was still a little upset: "My lord, it's true, you are so dangerous in Youcheng, Brother Shi, you still... have suffered such a serious injury, after all, it's all to protect the lord, the lord actually I don't even remember..."

Shi Zhong smiled, and slowly lay back on the pillow.

"What nonsense are you talking about? These are just the duties of our Habayashi Army... Why should a person as noble as the prince remember such insignificant things?"

Emperor Jingming held the white piece in his hand, thought for a long time, saw his younger brother on the opposite side looking restless, put the piece on the board, and then felt that it was inappropriate, so he moved it to the side...

It was wrong, and moved again.

No matter what, move again...

"Hey, I said Qingwei," he finally felt that it was meaningless, so he had to ask, "Have you ever watched chess?"

I'm moving around and I'm almost moving out, so you should give me some reaction!

"what?"

King Qingzhou, who was lost in thought, finally came back to his senses, and looked at the chess in a daze.

"Have you arrived, Chendi?" His eyes were gray, as if he had just woken up, he stared at the chessboard left and right, then hurriedly picked a chess piece, found a gap and swung it up, "here Come on... my brother, please."

Emperor Jing Ming stared at him, seeing that he just lowered his head and didn't react at all, he suddenly felt very bored, he simply pushed the chessboard, propped his hands and said: "It's boring! You are lost, why are you playing chess?" ? Boring, boring!"

The prince raised his eyes to look at him, and finally felt a little sorry for his elder brother, so he pleaded guilty with a long sigh: "It's all my servant's fault for ruining the emperor's happiness..."

I said a long time ago that I am not interested, so why bother to force me to play chess with you?There are so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, who can't accompany them?

"There are so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty," Emperor Jingming said suddenly at this time, "including your third brother, you are the only one who can talk to me."

"Brother Huang..." The prince was taken aback for a moment, and his heart felt a little sore. He was really touched, "Brother...this..."

"So," Emperor Jingming smiled slightly, looked at him and said slowly, "What's on your mind, why not talk to Brother Huang?"

"..." The prince hesitated for a moment.

What could be on his mind?Also... It's not all to blame for the stinky wood!

What three years ago, what secluded city, what blocked an arrow... He thought about it later, and he still vaguely remembered that time when a person suddenly pushed himself away when the Huns attacked the city, and then the city gate The sky was filled with rockets "swish", it was a mess, after that...

Afterwards, that person seemed to be injured, and I didn’t see him appearing near me again, probably he was recovering from his injuries. I seemed to have rewarded some things, and I deliberately added something when I played to the emperor, and I talked about it. But I didn't know the name of that person all the time, and I didn't pay much attention to it, and then it just passed away.

Is there anything wrong with this?He is a prince, why should he remember what the wooden guards around him look like, and who are their last names?In order to protect themselves from injuries, it is enough to give some rewards and some grace, isn't it their duty in the first place!he……

Why should he feel guilty and uneasy?

Why should he sleep and eat over this matter?
