Tide beat empty city

Yong Ningye went to pay his respects to his mother, and when he mentioned Yongnian, there were many compliments.In the end, the topic changed, and he leaned on his mother's lap and begged, "My brother is back, so I don't need to marry, right? Yinchuan is so far away, what should I do if I miss you? I can't even come back."

Princess Li Xian smiled and sighed.The marriages made when the children were young, it is difficult to meet each other in the south and the north, and it is true that the relationship is weak.Yong Ning is also considered sensible, knowing that her father passed away, no matter which son in the clan inherits the throne, the mother and daughter will inevitably decline in Japan; she has never mentioned the matter of retiring to protect the safety of the two generations through marriage.Because of obedience to filial piety, the two sides tacitly dragged on; but Li Xian knew that Yongning was unwilling in his heart.

When Yongnian came back, she was overjoyed, but half of it was out of selfishness—with a younger brother, she no longer had to bear the burden of her mother's family alone.Of course I also like my younger brother, but I prefer the freedom of choice.

Li Xian caressed her daughter's beautiful hair.Why is she willing, why is she willing to follow in her footsteps forever, marry far away, and deal with the enemy all her life, fighting openly and secretly.

At the grand ceremony the next day, the imperial decree was read out by the court, and the master of ceremonies granted the seal to Yongnian Peiguan. After that, everyone called him "Prince".During the banquet, the princess ordered him to sit in front of him and hold hands to chat.Looking from afar, Zhan Zhao was overwhelmed by the sound of music and people, only wiping away his tears and a submissive expression, performing silently on the background.Chaos and clarity seem to be in stark contrast.

In the ceremony sequence, there was an army drill to celebrate, and the royal guards dispatched by the emperor performed against the South Vietnamese army.When the drums were beating, Yongnian couldn't hold back his excitement. He stood up and said to Li Xian: "Yongnian will participate in the rehearsal on the road. How can I just sit and watch at this time. Mother, let's see how I lead the army." This title is clearly pronounced , Zhan Zhao heard that Shang Zi sighed, Yongnian had jumped into the field, leading the team with his horse and spear.

As a result of being playful since he was a child, Yongnian Wang is a first-rate equestrian and shows his face quite well; in foot combat, he has changed to a long sword and shield, and he is still majestic when he is not moving.Soon the crown was also crooked, and several holes were cut on the clothes; the hands were already messed up, let alone commanding the troops.

Zhan Zhao gradually felt that something was wrong, abandoned the wine bottle and took a step across the sky, raised his arms to block the incoming weapons, and protected Yongnian behind him.After landing, he took a series of wrong steps, and when his feet cleared the empty field, he already had the blade in his hand.He flicked his sleeves and made two sections of the knife, threw it on the ground and shouted: "Congratulations on the performance today, the confrontation point is over, how can we make a mistake!" Turn back and order the soldiers: "Send the prince back to his seat, and wait for the team to stand by."

Yongnian threw away his shield and came out, the guard hurriedly welcomed him into the inner room to change his clothes.Zhan Zhaolue got dressed, and went back to the princess's seat to salute: "Zhan's recklessness shocked the princess. I'm here to make an apology."

Li Xian raised her hand and signaled: "Guard Zhan, please sit down. What is the crime of guarding the king? Our soldiers in South Vietnam were rude. They only knew how to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and they didn't know how to shoot. Fortunately, the guard Zhan was present. If the prince There is no injury, and killing them all is not enough. There must be heavy punishment."

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly: "At the grand ceremony, the blood is ominous. Can Zhan beg for mercy on his behalf, and ask the concubine to punish me lightly?"

Li Xian hesitated: "But..."

Zhan Zhao continued: "Soldiers are fearless, it is a blessing for one party, killing them will lose the morale of the army, it is not as good as teaching them; I wonder if the princess thinks so?"

Li Xian nodded in praise and said, "Zhan Huwei is not only extraordinary in skill; if you lead the army, you will achieve something if you think about it."

Before Zhan Zhao could answer, Yong Ning couldn't help interjecting: "Since mother has this intention, why don't you hand over the soldiers to Zhan's guards, and discipline them with the utmost courtesy, so that they will have fewer mistakes before the battle?"

Li Xian glanced at her, Yongning hadn't looked so radiant in a long time.Still pondering, Zhan Zhao got up and bowed to resign: "The princess is too famous, the princess loves her, Zhan is ashamed. But with the appointment of the imperial court first, it is really difficult to take on another important task. I still hope Haihan."

Li Xian turned her head and reprimanded: "Yongning is messing around, how can you interfere with political affairs." Then she said to Zhan Zhao: "Girls don't know etiquette, and the guards of the teacher and exhibition will laugh at them."

Zhan Zhao smiled: "Where."

At this time Yongnian came out, sat aside and listened quietly.Li Xian asked in harmony: "My lord, is there any discomfort? Turn around and bring that lifeless thing, vent your anger as you like."

Yongnian shook his head and smiled, "I was a little scared just now, but now I don't feel any discomfort. I don't understand how to punish him, so I will learn slowly. This time, let the mother decide."

Li Xian also smiled: "Guard Zhan said that he should teach them well. What does the prince think?"

Yongnian happily said, "Okay, the baby is coming from the south, and there are guards and soldiers on the way, so he must have taught him well."

Li Xian laughed again: "Stupid child, just like your sister. Zhan Huwei belongs to the emperor, how dare we order him around. He will go back eventually."

Yongnian lowered his head and said, "It's true." He glanced sideways at Zhan Zhao and smiled.

The two horses left the city and rushed to the deserted countryside in one breath. Yongnian turned over and fell to the ground, staggered and fell to lie in the shade of a tree, panting.

Zhan Zhao led the horse and approached slowly, and touched him with his toes: "Get up and wipe off your sweat, you've caught the wind and cold."

Yongnian closed his eyes and shook his head: "The place is so hot, how can I catch the cold. I can't move."

Zhan Zhao grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it up, shaking off the sweat towel and dabbing indiscriminately.

Yongnian looked at him blankly and said, "Zhao, I can't see your face clearly, there are words dangling on it. She doesn't kill me with a knife, she wants to exhaust me to death."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing.The etiquette and law books brought by Wangfei's order were piled up into several mountains in Yongnian's study.Reading day and night, the young master finally couldn't take it anymore, so he asked to come out for a release.

Zhan Zhao said: "It's not for your own good, to take charge of the big government as soon as possible."

When he let go, Yongnian fell down again: "What are you talking about. She wished that I would be a fool for the rest of my life and listen to her. Those books are just for show, plus temptation."

He does understand.Zhan Zhao shook his head: "It's a good excuse not to study."

Yongnian covered his face and wailed: "Okay, I'll save lamp oil in the middle of the night, and my head is hanging on my buttocks. Is there a place for me to study? There are eavesdropping spies everywhere, and they dare not talk to you."

Zhan Zhao sat leaning against the tree, closed his eyes and meditated: "What do you want to say?"

Yongnian got up, looked around, but didn't remember to speak.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes, saw him stretching out his hand to caress him, but stretched his sleeves to block it, stood up and walked to the side.

Yongnian stayed where he was, bowed his head and said, "So what if you don't study. I will always live longer than her, and live until one day I can hug you in a fair way."

Zhan Zhao's heart was blocked and he couldn't breathe.After a while, he laughed at himself and said, "I've heard too much nonsense, the first one who doesn't live long, I'm afraid it's me and not her."

You are not afraid of death, but you cannot let go.Yongnian followed him and leaned on his shoulder: "Then I'll chase you to the underworld, and I'll definitely get you." Before being thrown away, he took a few steps back and said, "I can wait, but you have to wait too. Don't worry. Didn't the people above ask you to wait? I don't mind being with them and forcing you. "

Zhan Zhao's face suddenly became gloomy, and he just said the word "you ----", then suddenly covered his mouth, and coughed while holding the tree trunk.

He coughed so much that his hands were covered with blood, dripping down along the base of his fingers.

Yongnian saw that his feet were limp, so he rushed over to support him, and they almost fell to the ground together.Not knowing what to do, I raised my sleeves tremblingly and wiped it everywhere.

After a while the bleeding stopped, Zhan Zhao leaned his head against the tree and closed his eyes weakly.After a long while, he said, "I'm really going to die. At that time, you can force whoever you want, and I don't care."

Yongnian was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak for a long time, seeing him coughing again after speaking, his eyes darkened and he almost rolled over.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to straighten him, took off the sweat towel and threw it into his arms: "Wipe it yourself."

Yongnian looked down at the blood on his hands, and trembled again: "What should I do? Vomiting so much blood will kill you. What to do, what to do..."

Zhan Zhao was so angry that he kicked him: "Stop talking nonsense, no one will die."

Yongnian was finally kicked awake, and hurriedly hugged him: "You go out every night, why don't you go to sleep? Did you get injured in a fight?"

Zhan Zhao pushed him away and sat aside, breathed out and asked, "Did you see it?" It's unlikely.

Yongnian followed and crawled over: "I didn't see it, I guessed it. You see that you have lost weight so fast, you must have not slept and you are tired."

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, closed his eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense about things you haven't seen."

When he saw the palace at the other end of the long street, Zhan Zhao asked Yongnian to go back first, and turned his head to go to the city.Yongnian grabbed hold of it, and asked tremblingly, "Are you going to exhaust yourself to death?"

Zhan Zhao gently brushed it away, and sighed, "I'll go find a doctor, is that okay? With this outfit, Zhan doesn't want to scare anyone."

After hearing this, Yongnian felt relieved.Looking at his back going away, a bitter taste rose in his mouth for no reason.

When you get sick again in the future, I will call all the doctors in the world to come for diagnosis and treatment; I won't let you run around like this, for fear of people knowing.

Zhan Zhao went to the government office of Duanzhou alone.Lin Hengyi was surprised when he saw it, and he hurriedly taught the servants to fetch hot water to wash and change his clothes before he could ask.After sitting down and finishing their conversation, Zhan Zhao came out in the evening, grabbed medicine on the street, and then walked slowly towards the palace.

Thinking of Yongnian saying 'there are spies eavesdropping everywhere', I couldn't help laughing.So it's not that he doesn't want to sleep, it's just that he can come and go freely at night.The emperor always has to do what the emperor entrusts, so he thought it would be better if it was as early as possible; during these times, Lin Hengyi and Lin Hengyi had a dark and a bright day, and roughly figured out the line posts of the Nanyue royal family in the capital, and the information he got was also passed on to the court via the Duanzhou mansion. .He himself was busy going back and forth between various official residences and mansions every night, intercepting secrets in the high-walled institutions; and this matter was not something that Lin Hengyi could do for him.

Among the Yuwen clan, there are only three or two families who are wealthy enough to support the dead; if Yongnian was murdered and died in the first place, they would be among them who are the most likely to introduce the successor to the royal power.Later, when Yongnian's identity was revealed and Li Xian made it clear his intention to welcome the crown prince, the assassination gradually subsided.

Looking at it now, Li Xian seems to have no objection to the court's establishment of Yongnian as king; but since she has been in power for many years and has won the benefit of "power", she is not willing to hand over the treasure to others so easily.The martial arts field and the study room tried again and again, and it turned out that the new king could not be good at literature or martial arts; the more he had no ambitions and refused to study, the more at ease the princess would be, and the more stable and stable the position of this untrue prince would be. long.

Moving forward, assuming that Li Xian intends to kill Yongnian, she must rely on the power of Xixia with a widowed mother and orphaned daughter as the government; now that she has no intention of killing, does it mean that she only wants to continue the fame and wealth of Yuwen's lineage? , without Lianxia's treasonous heart?

Then in the capital city, Tang Di and the Yuwen family colluded secretly, and they also got what they needed from each other-using each other to attack potential hostile forces in their court or jurisdiction.

There is also conspiracy, but it has nothing to do with treason.

If this is the case, the words of Yongnian have really become the most reasonable --- life is less than a hundred, who will win the country and society in the end, the fight turns out to be, who will live longer than the other.

In this way, it seems that I can do my job --- Yongnian is temporarily safe and safe, and the detailed work list in the capital has been submitted according to the truth, so what do you do if you stay?

A gust of north wind blew by, and I couldn't help coughing twice.

Since I came here, I have been exhausted day and night, but I haven't encountered any confrontation or injury.Maybe it's because I've been too tired recently, and I've saved up until today; I'm angry again.

Go home and ask Mr. Gongsun.Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao suddenly realized that his true desire to go back was much stronger than he had always thought.

When he came back, Yongnian was waiting in the room, pacing anxiously behind his hands.As soon as he saw him, he rushed forward, first took the medicine bag in his hand, and asked how it was fried; then he asked someone to pass on the meal, and told Zhan Zhao that it was a specially selected diet for him to nourish his body, so that he could sleep after eating.After speaking, regardless of the other party's reaction, he drove away from the people and ran to the small kitchen, where he guarded the stove and the small fan to decoct the medicine.

I thought confidently, Zhao didn't want others to know, so I came in person.

Filter the concoction into a bowl through a layer of gauze, add water and cook again.Holding an extra long chopstick in his hand, Yongnian stirred more and more vigorously into the pot of medicine.

I swear that in the future, you will not have to hide and cook medicine when you are sick.

I swear that you will sleep soundly until dawn every night, and not worry about those trivial personnel matters.

If I can stay together, I will never share with you; if I don't act like the ruthless king on the imperial chair, saying "the country is the greatest", I will ask you to corner the world and sacrifice your life to pay for it.

After swearing, the pot was smashed.Mix the two bowls of medicine evenly, and remove the dross, which requires another toss.

After returning to the room, Zhan Zhao had already fallen asleep on the table, and the food was laid out intact.He wanted to eat after writing the memorial, but he didn't expect to be so sleepy.Seeing that the pen was still in his hand, Yongnian took it away lightly, thinking quickly whether he had enough strength to move him.When he thought about it, his eyes glanced casually, seeing Zhan Zhao's unfinished memorial half pressed under his elbow, he suddenly froze and couldn't move.

Quiet Stroke pushed the window open with a snap.Zhan Zhao was startled, and raised his hand to rub the center of his eyebrows.Looking at Yongnian again, he stared out of the window in a daze, not knowing what he was looking at.He looked around, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it down, and asked, "What's out there?"

Yongnian looked back in a daze, and said, "It's getting dark, who knows what's going on. Did you go out to see it at night? You should tell me."

Zhan Zhao felt it was weird, so he took chopsticks to eat without answering.Yongnian suddenly became angry, shouted "Don't eat!" and rushed to snatch it.

Zhan Zhao didn't let him succeed, he twisted the person back and forth, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? You won't let me eat?" He said and put down his chopsticks.

Yongnian turned his neck vigorously, and continued to shout: "What are you eating? Didn't you see that it was cold? How old are you and still so ignorant?!"

Zhan Zhao let go of him in a daze, thought for a while, shook his head and laughed, "My lord taught me a lesson. I don't know how long you've been in, but it's all cooled." Putting down his chopsticks, he still saw his gloomy face, how could he be just for the sake of the food? reason.I couldn't figure out why, so I simply went back to the couch with my clothes upside down.

I was really sleepy, and my sanity kept falling into the abyss of ambiguity, so sinking that I couldn't pull it out.I heard Yongnian say from afar: "Why are you so sleepy? You would rather die of exhaustion than stay another day, right?"

Zhan Zhao reluctantly opened his eyes, half confused: "What are you talking about, you're throwing your hair out."

Yongnian lifted half of the memorial and shook it hard, jumped onto the bed and hugged him desperately, wishing he could embed himself in it.Zhan Zhao was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe, and gradually he woke up, feeling annoyed in his heart: "Let go! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

It was too tight, and the sobs echoed in both chests: "I won't let you go. You can be rude as you like, and you can kill me. I won't let you go even if you kill me."

Zhan Zhao restrained his hands, rolled his eyes and saw the memorial on the ground.He sat up and lifted the boy to the opposite side, watching silently with a cold expression.

Yongnian struggled desperately, his hands seemed to be bound with iron tongs, and he couldn't move at all.Out of breath, he lowered his head and wanted to bite the shackles away.Zhan Zhao snatched his arms slightly, and stood back on the ground. The boy couldn't control himself immediately, and fell flat on the bed.

The hard wooden board covered by the sheet must have touched the tear duct.The boy gave up and fell down, covering his face, his shoulders twitching violently.

Clenched hands into fists.There is nothing to go back to that bitter sea; but you don't wait, wait for me to give you the best.Have you become addicted to fools all these years?

Finally, I was tired from crying, my limbs were paralyzed, and I couldn't move.

Zhan Zhao approached, put his shoulders to help him sit up, and said lightly, "What is Zhan Zhao worth? From now on, my lord, don't do this again."

Yongnian seems to have never heard of it.Stretching his feet to the ground with dull eyes, he stopped by the door and smiled softly.Take another step and melt into the deep night.

The tears on the bed were wet and crumpled.Zhan Zhao stared at it for a while, then returned to the table, unfolded the blank rice paper, and dipped the pen in the ink.

The medicine is taken twice a day, and Yongnian decocts it himself and brings it to him, watching him drink it.They also stayed to eat together, but they talked less.Zhan Zhao was originally reticent, but secretly felt that this was not a bad idea.Facing each other lightly, waiting for the day when the emperor in the distance is satisfied, he said "Zhun Zuo will return to Beijing", and then they will each go back without leaving a trace.

Yongnian simply gave up studying and didn't go out. He only concentrated on diet and conjured up endless tricks.One day, I looked at him during lunch, and said depressedly: "Zhao, I have worked so hard, why can't I feed you fat? If I don't have the confidence to raise animals, you must be the one who hit me."

You are no different, Zhan Zhao thought blankly.How could Zhan be fed out by someone?Swallowing the food in his mouth, he said with a smile, "My lord, you have bothered me a lot. He must be a worthless person who is rich and difficult to support. Instead, let him go back to the mountains and cook rough vegetables, so that he can enjoy it."

Yongnian's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Don't make fun of yourself. If you want to leave, you have to take care of your body first. Meal accompany you to eat, do you think I'm just kidding around?"

Your kindness to me will be in vain.Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "It's not a joke. Don't you hear about A's honey, and B's □□."

Yongnian suddenly changed color.Thinking about it upside down, I couldn't help but sneer secretly: Zhao, you really are a heartless person.I just don't know if I owe more than the heat.

Zhan Zhao eats in silence, calm as if walking at the end of this life, there is nothing in the world that cannot be thrown away.

Therefore, we value interesting people even more.Yongnian thought about it and laughed, and suddenly understood that there is no need to pretend to be calm.Zhao, you are watertight, but you are too calm.Lose your usual naturalness.

But whatever makes me love.Suddenly filled with tenderness, Yongnian couldn't help but take his hand that was not holding chopsticks, bowed his head and kissed it.

Zhan Zhao instantly petrified, and was so surprised that he forgot to withdraw his hand.

Is it possible that these days' routine is to paralyze people to make him careless.

After a moment of shock and anger, Zhan Zhao's heart was filled with bitterness.It was hard to imagine that it was a young man who kept him in an awkward situation for so long.To this day, all their resistance and struggle seem to be fishing for moons in the water; is it God's will?

What do you do like you are on the edge of Yuanyuan.For a split second, Zhan Zhao wanted to draw his sword and soared into the sky.

I like him, including the killing intent in his eyes at the moment.Zhao, if I go to the Underworld with you, how can I be afraid.You want to kill, but your ruthlessness cannot resist your sorrow.You know there are victories and defeats between us, and you can't kill with a sword.

Everything starts at the very beginning, winning or losing is determined early.

Yongnian smiled slightly: "I said earlier, if you don't like it, just shoot me to death." Smart you should know, that is not a deterrent to me.

Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes.Two people who are too stubborn, meet and go hand in hand, is it destined to ruin their way.

He was not reconciled.

And he, can he even abandon the unwilling heart?Never afraid that it will never return.

Yongnian smiled and stood up: "If you don't kill me, I can leave. I just want to be with you, and I should spend some time with my relatives." He walked out of the courtyard quickly, turned around and said, "If you don't kill me, I still want to kiss you." .”

I killed myself so you couldn't kiss me.Zhan Zhao was shocked by this thought, and then smiled wryly.Secretly short of breath, for no apparent reason.
