Emperor Que Shaohua

The emperor made a grand trip, the whole country mourned together, the Chonghua Palace was completely empty, and there were endless mournful voices before the funeral. As for how many sincere tears were there, and how many were just perfunctory duties, it is unknown.Luo Pingyuan felt sad, even though Emperor Tianyi had various faults and mistakes, he was still his father, who was not taken seriously in childhood, but at least he was never treated harshly, and when he came back from Cuiping Mountain, he was promoted a lot.

The funeral ceremony was solemn and tedious, and the eulogy was written by Fu Jianchen, describing the life and achievements of Emperor Daxing one by one.Emperor Tianyi conquered the Northern Liao in his early years and achieved great victories several times, which made the Liao people dare not raise troops to invade the border, and the border was stable for seven or eight years.Luo Pingyuan thought that although the father was narrow-minded and devoted too much energy to political tactics, so that his loyalty was wronged, his government was weak, and his political achievements were mediocre, he still made some correct decisions in the last few years. , Supporting King Yun in the battle against Liao and Jin, and vigorously promoting the clearing of Zhang Tianmu, Yu Zhou once again ushered in a precious period of stability, and was able to stop fighting and rest with the people.

As for myself, I have only been involved in politics for three years, and I have only supervised the country for a few months. Once the critically ill emperor died, I realized the heavy responsibility on my shoulders.He needs to stand alone at the apex of the Yu Zhou Dynasty Hall, with nothing to hide from above. Even though the original old tree has withered and decayed and cannot be relied on, it is different after all whether it exists or not.

His concubine, Du Tangli, is also under a lot of pressure. She just married into Prince Ning's mansion at the beginning of the year and became a princess in a blink of an eye. Being a companion in the palace is bound to fall into panic.

The Yu and Zhou Dynasty inherited the etiquette system of the previous dynasty. After Emperor Tianyi's funeral, the officials began to actively prepare for the ceremony, constantly urging His Royal Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and the titles in their mouths naturally changed.Emperor Tianyi succeeded to the throne at the age of 24. He is already a rare young emperor. Now Luo Pingyuan is only 22 years old, and he has shown a steady and keen talent early on. Both the government and the opposition are looking forward to a new prospect.

Since several important ministers believed that the 49 days of July [-]th was too long, Luo Pingyuan finally agreed to set the date of official enthronement on September [-]th after the decommissioning of the service, that is, one month after the death of Emperor Tianyi. Filial piety also takes into account the needs of the court; it also requires the ministers to still be addressed as "His Royal Highness" for the time being to express their condolences to the late emperor.

While presiding over the funeral, he also had to take care of government affairs. He was very busy every day, but he missed King Jing very much.When major changes come irreversibly, perhaps only Luo Yanhua can make him feel peaceful, give him comfort and confidence.Moreover, now that Brother Huang no longer needs to live in secluded places to hide from others, it is time to discuss his future plans.

However, there were many inconveniences during the mourning period. Although King Jing had also been to the palace, every time he came and went in a hurry like when he was ordered to meet the driver that night, and the two of them could not speak a few words.

Luo Pingyuan wanted to go to Prince Jing's Mansion, but one reason was that he had no way to separate himself; the other reason was that his actions were not as free as before, there were many rules in the palace, no matter where he went, there were courtiers, guards and servants following him loyally anytime and anywhere put.After finally finding time to go out of the palace, I entered Lancang Residence. Before I finished drinking a cup of tea, the stewards of the House of Internal Affairs and officials, big and small, chased outside the gate one after another. All of them had urgent matters to report, the crown prince. His Highness had no choice but to touch his nose, and got up to leave depressedly.

"Your Highness wants to see Prince Jing, why don't you call him directly?" A servant suggested cautiously and puzzled, as long as a word of mouth is passed, who in the world would dare not come?

Luo Pingyuan frowned imperceptibly, as if he was not used to being called "Your Majesty", and he didn't want to use the way of monarch and minister to replace the intimate relationship with the emperor's brother, especially during the sensitive period when he first succeeded to the throne.Now, there are countless eyes staring at every move, even if you want King Jing to enter the palace to talk, your attitude should not appear rash and casual.

Walking in the Chonghua Palace, where the palaces are stacked, old memories can't stop coming to my heart, the past and the present, the end and the beginning, the Fengyi Palace and Changning Palace where I spent my childhood are already desolate.He stopped suddenly, and a thought flashed in his mind.

After the death of Emperor Tianyi, Wu Yong proposed that he was old and frail, and asked to retire for the elderly.Luo Pingyuan originally wanted to agree, but considering that he was not old enough to be old in his forties, and the palace couldn't find a suitable successor for a while, he guessed that he had some concerns, so he kindly expressed his condolences and asked Mr. Wu to continue to take care of him. Let's talk about it in a few years.

At this time Luo Pingyuan ordered to open the Changning Palace, accompanied by Wu Yong to walk around.It has been uninhabited for nearly ten years, and the decent utensils inside have long since disappeared, leaving only some damaged and decayed tables, chairs and household items.Fortunately, this was originally a heavy hall with a solid and tall structure, and all the high-quality giant wood was used in its construction, so there is no danger of collapse.Due to the absence of people for a long time, the courtyard is full of bird droppings, and occasionally a few bats pounce in the shade.When turning around an inner room, he suddenly saw a dirty and old futon thrown away in the corner, Luo Pingyuan bent over to pick it up, instantly filled with mixed feelings, and almost shed tears.He immediately ordered to clean up the courtyard as soon as possible, sweep away the dust and cobwebs, and repair the broken windows and walls. It can't be done in a short time, but it must be kept spotless and the Changning Palace must be restored to a bit of the old appearance when Luo Shenhua lived there.

Fengyi Palace also needs to see the light of day again. It has been closed for 12 years, and the situation is bound to be even more dilapidated.Luo Pingyuan didn't do anything arbitrarily, and he had to wait until he went to pay homage with his brother Huang before starting to repair it.

His words are imperial edicts, Wu Yong did not dare to neglect at all, not only the palace blueprints were found out, but also two palace servants who had served the eldest prince in Changning Palace earlier were found. Description, re-completed some arrangements.

At this time, it was only two days before the enthronement ceremony. Luo Pingyuan stepped into the Changning Palace again, and couldn't help but see a bright light. The palace courtyard has been carefully taken care of, and it seems to have returned to the old pattern.The writing desk used by the emperor’s brother is still on the south side of the study, and the nanmu pen holder is filled with more than a dozen tubes of wolf’s brushes; under the west window is the familiar chess platform, and the precious sapphire chessboard and chess baskets have been placed in order, still the same as before. A curtain made of sandalwood beads hangs in the bedroom, separating the inner and outer rooms into two; a sword hangs on the wall, a black whisk is often placed on the bed end bracket, and the long rocking chair under the eaves is my favorite place to stay;… …The scenes engraved in my memory are vivid, except for the traces of time left everywhere, the paint on the wooden pillars has been mottled and peeled off, the bluestone in the courtyard is full of cracks, but the copper water tank placed in the corner of the courtyard is full of water. After entering the clear water, a few goldfish swim leisurely under the green water lilies.

Luo Pingyuan was both happy and sad, but in the end he was very happy, and ordered people to take silver taels from the inner treasury to reward Wu Yong and the servants and craftsmen who were in charge of the work.He didn't want to wait any longer, so he ordered someone to summon Yang Yue.

About half a year ago, King Jing thought that Yang Yue's continuing to be the manager of him would be a waste of talent, so he finally recommended him to Luo Pingyuan, and promised that if one day he didn't want to be an official, he could come back at any time.Director Yang finally bid farewell to the old master with tears in his eyes, and has been under the fifth prince's door ever since.He has been by King Jing's side for ten years, and his character and ability are remarkable. Luo Pingyuan values ​​him very much. He is temporarily serving as the deputy commander of the Yulin Guard together with Yuan Xusheng.

Now, he wants the emperor to see the repaired Changning Palace and sit and talk together in a place full of memories, so naturally he has to send the most suitable person to invite him.

Yang Yue took the order and immediately set off for Prince Jing's Mansion.Luo Pingyuan returned to the east side hall of Zichen, reviewed several memorials, glanced at the direction of the palace gate from time to time, always feeling restless for no reason.

After the independent establishment of the mansion, a group of civil and military talents gradually gathered around him, and with the secret help of Lang Huan, his strength developed vigorously and steadily.However, since he was registered as the crown prince, he has faintly noticed that the way King Jing assists him has changed, and it is still the care and support that moisten things silently. However, the time when he directly gives insights is decreasing. Analyzing and inserting some subtle points at the right time, he often needs to make judgments alone, and then experience the process and effect; Langhuan's activities are also shrinking, and some Qibi and Xuanshuang's subordinates even left the capital and withdrew to Jiangnan.

Luo Pingyuan used to feel a little uneasy about these changes, but after entering the palace to supervise the country, his time was completely occupied and he was too busy to care about him. In addition, everything in the Jing Palace was as usual, and he would send letters and contacts from time to time, so he gradually ignored it. Cleared the faint entanglement in my heart.In any case, I should learn to make decisions in case of situations, instead of running to ask Brother Huang when I am a little confused.

For some reason, while waiting, these details kept flashing in Luo Pingyuan's mind, making it difficult for him to concentrate.Sometimes it was Luo Yanhua approaching the father's imperial spirit, holding a stick of incense, contemplating the silent side face, and sometimes remembering the last time he left in a hurry from Prince Jing's mansion, and the imperial brother was sent to the gate of Lancangju courtyard as usual, softly Said: "Bingyuan, take care." Probably I really miss him very much, and I have already accumulated a lot of things to say to Brother Huang.

"How long has Deputy Commander Yang been out of the palace?" He put down the pen in his hand and asked casually.

"Your Highness, it's been nearly half an hour." Wu Yong responded, "I think we'll be in His Royal Highness's residence soon."

Luo Pingyuan got up from behind the desk and walked back and forth in the side hall for a few steps.Looking out from the window lattice, the Zichen Palace is surrounded by marble and white marble carved lacquer coiled dragon steps, and the broad stone brick floor extends forward, crossing the front hall, until the towering palace wall at the end of the line of sight is connected with the standing Meridian Gate, and the surrounding halls are connected. Solemn and grand, but there is no tree.The autumn golden wind is blowing through the streets and alleys of Luocheng, lingering among the hills and woods of Prince Jing's Mansion, but as far as the eye can see, there is not a single fallen leaf.

"Prepare the horse." He said, "I'd better go directly to invite the emperor into the palace!"

He didn't understand what was wrong with him, he was suddenly disturbed, and he didn't even want to wait for a moment, he couldn't wait to see King Jing.

Those who can survive in Miyagi University are mostly experienced in handling things. Although the servants and imperial guards were secretly puzzled by the prince's rare frizz and restlessness, they did not reveal anything on their faces, and they bowed their heads respectfully.

Luo Pingyuan left the side gate of the Chonghua Palace and rode his horse towards the northwest. It is almost impossible for him to ride alone now, even though he is in modest clothing, he is surrounded by 36 imperial guards.

Halfway along the familiar road, suddenly several horsemen galloped towards the head, bringing up a cloud of dust on the road.Several imperial guards wanted to step forward to reprimand, but found that the other party was the immediate boss, the deputy commander Yang Yue.

There was panic on Yang Yue's face, and he got off his horse to meet him. Luo Pingyuan saw that his forehead was sweating, his expression was very different from usual, and he was surrounded by only two followers, and his heart tightened suddenly: "Vice Commander Yang, you Isn't it going to Prince Jing's Mansion, what about Brother Huang?"

"I just came out of Prince Jing's Mansion and was about to return to the palace!" Yang Yue wiped off his sweat, "His Royal Highness is not in the mansion, it should be not long after noon, and he has already left in a chariot and horse."

"What do you mean by leaving?" Luo Pingyuan frowned, "Since Brother Huang is out, you haven't asked where you are going, so hurry up and look for it?"

"I have asked." Yang Yue said, he tried his best to keep calm, but his voice couldn't stop trembling, "But in the past two days, the subordinates around His Majesty either set off separately or followed him, and they all left the city one after another. There are only a few janitors left in the mansion, they only know that His Highness has something to go on a long trip, maybe he will come back in a year or so, but they can't tell where they are going."

"You... what did you say?" The last few words fell into his ears, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Luo Pingyuan's mind went blank for a moment, and his whole body shook immediately, "Director Yang, don't you You are helping the emperor to make fun of me!"

He shook his head, and heard himself asking in a daze: "Travel? A year and a half, how is it possible? If Brother Huang is going away, why didn't you tell me, why don't you leave without saying goodbye?"

Yang Yue lowered his head, his eyes were a little red, he couldn't bear to look at the young monarch's instantly pale face: "I dare not lie to Your Highness, what I tell you is the truth." He paused, then said in a low voice, "Your Highness is Qing Yi With an idle temperament, I dare to guess, maybe I feel that it is unknown if I will finally be able to retire at this time."

If I had been notified in advance, would I still be able to turn around and leave quietly?Will he be held back by soft-heartedness and reluctance, unable to complete this doomed and difficult parting?

"Is there nothing else except missing?" After a while, Luo Pingyuan calmed down and asked reluctantly, "Did Brother Huang leave me a letter or other information?"

Yang Yue was also in a mess before, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, His Majesty left a letter, and the minister has already fetched it!" As he spoke, he groped from his bosom and offered it with both hands.

Luo Pingyuan took the thin letter paper, his fingers trembling uncontrollably. He had a sense of unreality as if in a dream. For a long time, the emperor's brother had been by his side, recuperating behind closed doors in the quiet and verdant Jingwang Mansion. However, the touch of the fingertips reminded that what Yang Yue said was the truth, even if he rushed to Lancangju now, he still couldn't see the familiar calm face.

He tore open the seal with trembling hands, but inside the envelope was not rice paper, but a piece of soft silk.The surface of the two-foot-long moon white silk is painted with freehand landscapes, but you can see the faint green hills, waterfalls in the middle, and the vast river waves rushing towards the sky. Mountain pine forest.Although there are not many brushes, the brushstrokes are concise and the ink color is suitable for shades.There is no inscription at the bottom of the picture, only a line of verse: a pool of flowing water and a pool of moon, half into the river and half into the sky.

The elegant and elegant font is exactly Luo Yanhua's handwriting.

Luo Pingyuan stared blankly at the silk in his hand, King Jing's meaning could not be more clear, he actually decided to bid farewell and leave, the mountains are high and the water is far away, it is unknown when we will see each other again.

If it wasn't for today's whim and eagerness to meet each other, when will I find out, tomorrow, or until the day of enthronement?

Indeed, Brother Huang has never cared about power, status and glory. The two years of detention in the capital should only be for himself.But why do you have to go?Why use such a method, as if a farewell that never comes back?

After the reunion, they have known each other and accompanied each other for several years. Although there are countless grand scenes in the world, Luocheng, Gyeonggi, which is as prosperous as a dream and gathers all kinds of wind and clouds, is there nothing worth nostalgic for?From now on, Brother Huang doesn't have to worry about anything, no matter Miyagi or any other place, you can come and go as you like!

Once upon a time, I had a small gathering with King Yun in Prince Jing's mansion, and the three of them chatted over a drink and talked about their future wishes and visions. The Liao people retreated five hundred miles to the north, and then traveled all over the world. Only King Jing, who just listened with a smile every time, sometimes talked about opinions and suggestions, but never mentioned himself.

Thinking about it now, there are already traces to follow, perhaps from the very beginning, Brother Huang was determined to leave.He is the suzerain of Langhuan, he doesn't want to be involved in court disputes, and he is worried that the status of the eldest son will bring trouble to each other, so he would rather choose to stay away from the capital and give up the honor of the clan.

Or perhaps, it's not that King Jing will never come back again, just like the mansion said, one year and a half, three years and five years, occasionally wandering around the capital, or when the court needs to cooperate with martial arts, there is still a chance Meet each other, but when that time comes, the years of companionship are gone and will never return.One lives high in the temple, and the other hides in the rivers and lakes. They will eventually drift away. Even if the friendship is still there, the current tacit understanding will become a thing of the past and cannot be recovered.

Tomorrow is separated by the mountains, and the world is boundless.

Luo Pingyuan felt a suffocating pain in his heart, as if a part of himself had been torn apart, forcing him to take a deep breath so as not to lose his composure on the spot.For a moment, he almost wanted to shout: "Brother Huang, you made the decision alone, what about me, have you ever thought about my mood?! You just flicked your sleeves and walked away, what should I do!"

At the same time, there was a faint voice sounding in my head, this is all your own fault, who made you lose your mind in Jiangnan, and can't tell right from wrong?Brother Huang has not forgotten the misunderstandings in the past, he dare not stay, he is afraid that the old things will happen again in the future, he is afraid that you will become like your father, only power is left in your eyes and hearts!What's more, can you guarantee that you will not repeat the same mistakes, and no matter how long the past has passed or what pressure you face, you will maintain your original intention?Brother Huang can really stay in Los Angeles for a long time without worrying about anything?

Luo Pingyuan clenched his teeth unconsciously.As far as he is concerned, the wind and rain in Hangzhou and the heart-piercing experience afterwards are really engraved in his heart. Although he tried his best to make up for it later, he will not regret it for the rest of his life, but his fear and anxiety have been deeply buried in his heart. He is afraid that he will not be forgiven, and even more afraid Luo Yanhua no longer trusts herself.

At this moment, the deep-seated fear became a reality, and the former fifth prince seemed to fall into the abyss again, his whole body was icy cold.

Brother Huang is gone, what should we do now?

He can still ascend to the throne, sit on the beautiful mountains and rivers, fulfill the responsibilities of the emperor, add power to the world, and live up to his life.However, without that person by my side, without the calm and soft gaze and smile, can I still fulfill my responsibilities?Does all this really make sense?

"Your Highness," the leading guard of the imperial guard saw that His Royal Highness, who had always been prudent, was in a trance, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and couldn't help saying, "It's windy on the road, why don't you go back to the palace to rest for a while before making any plans?"

The street here is not spacious. A large group of guards in fresh clothes and angry horses stopped and stopped, which has already caused a certain degree of congestion. There are more and more pedestrians, who dare not approach and stare sideways. , it seems that it is not suitable to continue to stand still.

"Back to the palace..." Luo Pingyuan murmured, as if waking up from a nightmare, and suddenly realized that Yang Yue just said clearly that the emperor's brother left the mansion not long ago, maybe he hasn't gone far yet.His expression turned serious, he thought for a while, and said coldly: "Go back to what palace! Divide into four routes, and immediately go to various city gates to check. If the people of Prince Jing's Mansion have not left the city, the city gate will be closed and no entry or exit will be allowed. Now, report to me right away! If you can't chase the emperor back today, no one will even think about going back to the palace!"

He didn't want to waste any more time, thinking that King Jing was going out quietly, so he shouldn't be on guard against his impromptu pursuit, most likely he would leave Beijing directly from the south city gate, take the waterway to Jiangnan, and immediately ignored the stunned imperial guards, dialed The horse's head and feet knocked, Wuyun Treading Snow was urged, and with a long hiss, he galloped away with the wind on all four hooves.

When everyone came back to their senses, they hurriedly followed and chased, and at the same time sent troops to the various city gates. His Highness the Crown Prince had disappeared at the end of the street, leaving only a little smoke and dust raised by the horseshoes.

Epilogue Lantai

In the evening, King Jing's green caravan arrived near the city gate, Luo Yanhua opened the curtain, and glanced at the majestic and towering Chaofeng Gate.

They set off from the mansion in the afternoon, and according to the scheduled plan, they were supposed to leave the city half an hour ago.But after picking up Chai Ming and Yubo from Chengnan Tofu Shop, Yubo suddenly remembered that she forgot to pick up the boxes of hibiscus pancakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that she ordered at Changfuzhai.So everyone went into a Xieji teahouse to rest for a while, and waited for Qin Shuang to accompany Yubo to Qipan Street to pick up pastries before boarding the carriage again.

In fact, a few boxes of snacks are insignificant, and there is no need to delay the itinerary because of this, but when we finally have to say goodbye to Los Angeles, everyone is more or less emotional and detached, and there is no urgency in action.

It was not far from the time when the city gate was closed, and the area around Chaofengmen was bustling and noisy. The hawkers who set up stalls hurriedly solicited business, and the merchants and pedestrians quickened their pace, busy going in and out.The speed of the green caravan also slowed down, following the flow of people, it slowly moved forward.

Luo Yanhua stared out of the window for a moment, taking in the scenery of the capital, and finally put down the curtain of the car.Qin Su sighed inwardly when he saw his eyebrows retracted and he no longer looked around.He knew that these days, although King Jing seemed calm, he was not in a very good mood.

"Master, when we settle down, can you write to Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang?" Gu Yu asked in a low voice, retracting his head from the other side of the car window.The usual scene in the past made him nostalgic.The Lord said that in the spring of next year, a group of their servants will be sent to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to study, and a new life will begin soon, but Gu Yu feels that she will miss the capital and Prince Jing's mansion very much, and stay with His Royal Highness Bailu and Shuangjiang, will the two of them feel anxious and sad?

King Jing smiled slightly: "Yes." Perhaps the people around him had a premonition that they would not return for a long time after leaving this time.

The chariots and horses moved slowly, and at the moment when they were about to enter the city gate, there was a sudden noise from behind, which seemed to be intertwined with the sound of hooves and exclamations, and it was getting closer and closer.

Qin Su's ear was excellent, and he identified the source of the huge movement as a galloping horse.Is there any reason not to cause chaos if galloping a horse in such a place?And in the distance came the sound of hoofbeats like heavy rain, and dozens of riders were rushing towards the city gate at high speed.He frowned, and was about to go out to check, when Gu Yu behind him exclaimed: "Your Highness Fifth! Your lord, His Highness Fifth is chasing you!"

Luo Yanhua's thoughts were interrupted, and he turned his head to look out of the car window, but he saw a snow-white horse with four hooves approaching from far to near, splitting the crowd like chopping waves, and coming straight to his direction, it was Wu Yun, the emperor's brother's horse. Stepping on the snow, who is the person on the horse if not Luo Pingyuan?

His heart suddenly trembled, he had only set off for more than an hour, how could Ping Yuan, who was supposed to be in the palace preparing to ascend the throne, know, and came so fast?Xuanshuang had already checked, and there was no follower around the mansion!Could it be that...it was such a coincidence?

Luo Pingyuan had already seen a group of cars from Prince Jing's Mansion that were about to leave the city, and when the familiar blue hood came into view, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily rode over, blocking the path of the first car without any explanation. He said loudly, "Stop! Brother Huang, where do you want to go?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Qin Shuang and Xie Feng reined in the reins first, jumped off their horses and stood still, then Shoushan King Chai Ming, Yubo, Bai Ruohan covered in light veil, his maid, and several small attendants got out of the car one by one.Everyone looked at each other for a while, because the Fifth Highness in front of him was alone, although he looked majestic and domineering, the posture of blocking the way was a bit like cutting the path in the green forest, and there was not much majesty belonging to the superior; plus Meeting people on a narrow road is inevitably embarrassing, teaching people to salute is not, and neither is greeting.

Fortunately, they were not the right owners they were looking for. Luo Pingyuan got off his horse and locked his eyes on the second green caravan. King Jing had already opened the door and walked down slowly.

"Brother Huang, where are you going?" Luo Pingyuan repeated, his eyes still not blinking.He didn't understand why Luo Yanhua could still be so indifferent.

"Go to Jinling first to deal with some matters." King Jing paused for a while without hiding anything, "Then go to Jiangling, go back to the old house and have a look, there are still some members of the Jiang family in the city." However, every time it was mentioned, the calm and graceful Zhu vice-owner seemed to be a different person. He resolutely resisted orders and refused to obey. Letters or simply went to the capital, begging the suzerain to take back his orders, and there were not a few who cried.Obviously, this matter cannot be settled by teleportation, and it is necessary to go to Jiangnan to deal with it for a period of time.

"And then?" Luo Pingyuan continued to ask, unconsciously clenched the silk cloth in his hand, "After seeing the old house and meeting the clansmen, what are you going to do?"

"Maybe I will renovate the mansion and stay here for a while." King Jing thought for a while, but still told the truth. In fact, he was not sure where he was going to settle down, so he had to wait and see, "I still have to go. Yue Yang paid a visit to the Xiao family in Dongting, senior Chai lives in Junshan, he should stay for a few days; Xiaoxiang Pavilion is also nearby, further north is Wushan Mengxian Valley, we have been away from Master Xi for many years, we can just ask him to help diagnose the pulse."

The more Luo Pingyuan heard, the more desperate he became. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huxiang, far away from the capital, King Jing is like many old friends, subordinates, and old acquaintances. How can I come back?

"That's why brother Huang kept it from me and left quietly without saying goodbye?" He gritted his teeth, shook the crumpled silk silk away vigorously, and asked word by word, "What does this painting mean? , the green hills will not change, the green water will flow forever, Brother Huang, could it be that I have done something wrong again, do you want to say goodbye to me forever, see you indefinitely?"

His voice unconsciously raised higher than usual, clear and clear with a hoarse and trembling end.The sun was setting, and the sky was filled with sunset glow, like a dazzling brocade. The glow reflected the face of the young monarch, making him look more and more beautiful.Because he came in a hurry, his clothes and hair were a little disheveled, there were traces of sweat on his sideburns, and there was a clear look of pain in his eyes, which made people think of a wounded and whimpering little beast.

Facing such an imperial brother, Luo Yanhua felt a slight tug somewhere in his heart, and there were imperceptible ripples in his quiet eyes.

"Pingyuan," he said, "you have long been able to stand on your own. I have taught you everything I know and learn. It will not be of much help if you stay. .”

The reason why he resigned quietly was mainly because he was worried that Luo Pingyuan would not agree. After all, he was used to the familiarity of seeing each other from time to time, and the sudden separation of thousands of mountains and rivers, with an uncertain return date, was difficult for anyone to accept for a while.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, that’s why he chose the date before his enthronement. When the palace got the news, he had already sailed south along the canal. Even if Luo Pingyuan, who had just ascended the throne, was angry and sad, he could not abandon state affairs He chased after him with Mandian courtiers.After a long time, slowly, the emotions will fade.

However, man is not as good as God, and his evasion obviously failed to have any effect. The younger brother's reaction was like a mountain rain, and it was more difficult to deal with than expected.

The dense sound of horseshoes was heard, and the 36 imperial guards who followed the palace, together with Yang Yue and three men, sent three cavalry to Donghuamen, Xihuamen and Zhenhaimen each to carry out the order, and the rest came to chase Luo Pingyuan , Hurry up slowly, and finally arrive in front of Chaofeng Gate.There were already more and more pedestrians and common people gathered near the train train of Prince Jing's Mansion, watching the excitement on three floors inside and three floors outside. At this time, they were rushed by dozens of galloping horses and had to retreat and disperse.Seeing the scene in front of them, most of the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily rolled off their horses, intending to surround the crown prince and His Highness King Jing who were obviously in a stalemate.

Everyone in Prince Jing's Mansion was worried about Luo Yanhua's safety, so of course they refused to be isolated. The Yulin Guards were not easy to offend. In terms of force, they would inevitably suffer losses when they met Chai Ming, Qin Su and others, so they had to surround more than half a circle. Block the sight of others who are curious and probing.

When Luo Pingyuan was King Ning, he made quite a few appearances in Luocheng. Sharp-eyed passers-by had already recognized the appearance of the young emperor who had just succeeded to the throne. The arrival of the Yulin Guard undoubtedly confirmed the speculation.Then the "Emperor Brother" that His Majesty keeps calling is not King Yun, but the rare King Jing.How could the crowd miss the once-in-a-lifetime scene of His Majesty intercepting the elder brother's quarrel in the street? Although they didn't dare to approach, they continued to stop and watch from a certain distance, forming a thick crowd, and some people standing in the front row even knelt down to salute.

The headed guard of the imperial forest realized the holy will, seeing that the situation was basically stable, and was about to shout his orders to close the city gate, but was held down by Vice Commander Yang, who shook his head slightly at him.Yang Yue's palms were also sweating, no matter from the perspective of loyalty, or out of his feelings for King Jing, he hoped that Luo Pingyuan would keep his brother behind.But he also knew in his heart that if King Jing insisted on leaving, then just closing the city gate would not help.At present, we can only rely on Luo Pingyuan's own ability. I hope His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness will be rational and don't need a brain

Fever, do impulsive regret.

King Jing's words were interrupted by the loud voice of the imperial guards. He noticed that Luo Pingyuan was still staring at him motionless, unaware of the changes around him, so he couldn't help sighing: "Pingyuan, you are in charge of the government for the first time. The less unstable factors, the better. In my situation, if I live in the capital for a long time, it will not be good for you or me..."

He tried his best to express it implicitly, once he "cured" from his illness, he should have a serious connection, I believe Luo Pingyuan knew it well, and there was really no need to explain it in detail at the gate of the city full of people.

However, before the words were finished, Luo Pingyuan simply and rudely cut him off: "Whoever dares to slander, I will send him to prison and chop him up!"

He ignored how many pairs of eyes and ears were watching and listening, and his tone turned to pleading again: "Brother Huang is going to Jinling and visiting old friends, so there is no need to rush. I will go with you next year." good?"

Junior brother Yan Yin is going to leave the teacher next year, he had promised to go back to the mountain to participate in the ceremony before leaving the mountain, and he really missed the master and the brothers, so he must go out in low clothes and inspect the people's conditions.

"National affairs are a trifling matter!" King Jing frowned, unable to laugh or cry, but felt a little unbearable in his heart.He could see that Luo Pingyuan was afraid and tried his best to prevent the development of the situation, but he had to harden his heart, "It is never possible for the court and the court to be peaceful. If things are as simple as you think, Tianyi How did the old Langhuan case happen in the court, and how could the father be deceived and die with regrets?"

He paused, his voice still as still as still water: "Bingyuan, you have many wishes and ambitions that are about to be realized. It is not only the fulfillment of your life ambitions, but also for the future of Yuzhou Zhongxing. Thousands of people are eagerly looking forward to it, and the rise and fall of the country is all about you. Yes. From now on, every word and action must be measured and prudent. Is there any room for willful behavior? I stay in Beijing now, which will only add tasteless troubles and losses. It is better to walk around and have the right to relax. When the situation stabilizes in the future, I will naturally return to Los Angeles to reunite with you and Linpian."

The words made sense and were reasonable, and they were not insignificant. Luo Pingyuan calmed down a little, but he didn't mean to give up or give in at all.He vaguely remembered that more than two years ago, when the emperor's brother refused to seek an antidote to the cold poison, but persuaded himself to go to the south of the Yangtze River together, he had the same determined demeanor and calm eyes.As a result, it was guaranteed well, and it was never treated with heart at all, and it was only a slight difference that heaven and man would be separated forever.

Jiangnan is not a good place!He has a vague feeling that if he lets go now, the regret in his heart will never be made up.

"Eternal knot and ruthless love, long-term friendship, maybe the emperor can do it, but I can't stand it." He gritted his teeth and said to himself, "I'm just an ordinary person, I can't just live for the great cause of my family and country." Besides, the family is the country, and the family is before the country! Even the ancient sages never insisted that the king must abandon his brothers and family for the sake of state affairs! The emperor and I are both upright, even if there will be conflicts in the temples and rivers and lakes in the future, or It's because the subordinates are stubborn and have ulterior motives, and they are making a fuss about the status of the eldest son, and with the intelligence and wisdom of the emperor brother, can't they go forward and retreat with me to find a way to resolve it?"

Words are the voice of the heart, and he narrates them in one breath, without feeling that his heart is surging. Perhaps these words are not mature enough, or even wishful thinking, but they are indeed his sincere thoughts from the heart, and his unswerving commitment; With a look on his face, he took a half step forward: "Brother Huang, I just always thought that you are very good. I know that to you, wealth and glory are like floating clouds, which disappear like smoke in an instant, but I still hope that you can stand with me on the important stage. From the high place of the palace, look at this picturesque river and mountain!"

I don't know when it started, the surroundings became quiet, and when the last few words fell, it was almost silent.The setting sun coated everything within sight with a pale golden afterglow, Luo Yanhua lowered his eyes, the itinerary had already been arranged, if there was any further delay, he might not be able to leave the city today.He had always been calm and rarely acted emotionally, but at this moment, he realized that he was actually hesitating.Just like what Luo Pingyuan asked, is it really the only way to go far away?Didn't he ever think of trying to stay in Los Angeles without causing hidden troubles?

If we only start from the interests, maybe there is no law of both sides in the world, but what about emotion and conscience?It was like, if power was the only thing in his heart, Luo Pingyuan would
