Don't steal a man from me

The result of sleeping with Su Jue is that the self-denying and diligent King of Chu is very reluctant to get up and go to court every day, so the time to stay with Su Jue is too short, so our King of Chu uses every day to go to court. The day-to-day meeting was too complicated, so the system of the daily meeting was ordered to be cancelled.

He set the court meeting as a meeting where the ministers gathered together to submit letters. There were two court meetings in a year, once in the beginning of spring to start farming, and once at the end of the year for general affairs. The rest of the time depended on the situation.

State affairs in ordinary times are reported to the king after discussion by several important ministers, or the king handles the motion and then hands it over to the ministers.In addition, there are book tables and felt mats during the court meeting, so that the courtiers don’t have to stand in line so solemnly. In Chu Yunqi’s words, “You all stand solemnly, and the widow sits panicked alone. Everyone sits, you are comfortable, and the widows don’t have to look uncomfortable.”

The cancellation of the court meeting was originally out of Chu Yunqi's selfishness.

Su Jue was silent for a long time after learning about it, then smiled and said, "It's really unintentional."

Chu Yunqi was afraid that Su Jue would be unhappy because of this matter, so he made up a set of excuses on the way back to the bedroom, but Su Jue was not angry because of this matter, and Chu Yunqi was immediately relieved.

It turns out that Chu Yunqi's "private use of rights" has greatly improved the efficiency of work.

The ministers don't have to get up early every day, wear heavy court clothes, and hold that meaningless court meeting.

When encountering small matters and matters that fit their positions, the ministers can directly handle them properly, and just submit a statement.

When encountering more difficult things, all the ministers discussed together, and finally wrote to the king for the king to make a decision.

In this way, the ability of the courtiers to handle affairs is like bamboo slips exposed to the blue sky and white sun. Those who pretend to be numbers and those who fish in troubled waters are all caught out, and doing practical things becomes the goal of power.

In the words of General Wei Ran, "You go if you can, if you can't, get out, don't occupy the latrine and don't shit."

At this time, it was the Ching Ming Festival in the 28th year of King Shangyou. Chu State to the south of the Luo River was already in full bloom, and Yancheng was even more green.

After Chu Yunqi was free, he clinged to Su Jue all day long. Su Jue had no choice but to sigh, "You might as well go to court."

That day Su Jue was writing something on the silk paper at his desk, Chu Yunqi sat down beside him, looked at the content on the silk paper, frowned and asked, "What is this?"

Su Jue smiled and said, "These are several types of siege equipment. Get up and I'll tell you."

Su Jue's slender finger like white jade pointed to a trench bridge and said: "Those who cross the trench bridge also cross the trench bridge. The one-story trench bridge in our army is too thin when attacking the city. The bridge is changed to a foldable type, and two or four large wheels are installed on the lower part, about [-] zhang or [-] chi in width, and more can be arranged side by side, and the whole body of the trench bridge is made of iron wheels and iron plates."

"There is also this cloud ladder. Four large wheels are installed at the bottom, and the body of the ladder is folded. A dark box is built underneath to hide the soldiers. The bottom wheels, large pillars, and ladder frames are all made of iron. This can greatly reduce the time when soldiers attack the city. Casualties."

"This is a saimen knife cart. The body of the cart is as wide as the city gate. There are three or four floors in front of the cart, all of which are poured with iron. There are sharp knives fixed on it. The cart has a long shaft. If the city breaks accidentally, the soldiers can push it away." Use the knife cart for emergency treatment."

"The last one is called 'earth listening'. A well is dug every ten feet in the city, and a large urn is buried at the bottom of the well. People are sent to lie down in the urn and listen carefully. They can know the direction of the tunnel diggers outside the city, in case they come from the tunnel. Sneak attack." (Note)

Su Jue handed over the results of the morning to Chu Yunqi and said, "Send these to the weapon camp as soon as possible, and order the carpenter to build them." Chu Yunqi looked at the equipment on the pile of silk papers, his eyes flickered, With a sigh, he put the silk paper away in his bosom, and then pulled Su Jue out of the bedroom.

"Where are you taking me?" Su Jue asked when he saw him leading her towards the stables in Chu Palace.

"Out of the city for an outing." Chu Yunqi said with a smile.

"What?" Su Jue raised an eyebrow.

When he came to the stable, Chu Yunqi waved his sleeves and signaled the servants in the stable to bring out his black war horse. The horse has spirituality. Seeing Chu Yunqi hiss, he stepped forward and rubbed against Chu Yunqi affectionately. Yun Qi smiled and jumped on the horse, leaned over and stretched out his hand to Su Jue and said, "Give it to me."

Su Jue was still in a daze, Chu Yunqi directly bent down, wrapped his arms around his waist, and pulled him onto the horse. It was Su Jue's first time riding a horse, and it was really startled when Chu Yunqi scooped up the horse like that. Clutching Chu Yunqi's sleeves tightly, Chu Yunqi grabbed the horse's reins with one hand and wrapped his arms around his waist with the other, letting Su Jue stick to him, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Su Jue regained his composure, he turned his head to look at Chu Yunqi and said, "You have such amazing arm strength and kung fu, why couldn't you avoid Wei San's carriage in the alley of Zuihuayuan before?"

"If I escaped, how could I meet Lan'er, a fairy-like person in the painting?" Chu Yunqi laughed.

"You can only play tricks." Su Jue twitched the corners of her mouth, and said helplessly: "And that time when you hit the arrow, why are you so good at it..." Halfway through the sentence, Su Jue was silent up.

Yes, that time Chu Yunqi could completely avoid the arrow, but he still rushed over to protect him immediately.

"I was wronged! That arrow was too fast, and I didn't have time to react." Chu Yunqi pursed his lips and said, "There is also the alley of Zuihuayuan. Rain, the alley is narrow, how can I avoid it."

Su Jue lowered her eyes, that's right, if it hadn't been for that time, how would he have met him, and how would he know that the confidant of Xiaoyaogu Qinxiao's harmony is within reach?

If they had never met, he would, as always, try his best to help those poor people, and live an ordinary life alone without hearing anything from the window.

The days that are as plain as white will not be as gorgeous as they are now, and the calm heart will not be beating for a person as it is now-either joy or worry.

Fate is such a wonderful thing.

Seeing that he was silent, Chu Yunqi thought he was angry, and hurriedly apologized: "I won't dare next time, don't be angry, anger is not good for your health."

Su Jue turned around and hugged Chu Yunqi, who was sincerely admitting his mistake, a smile spread across his lips, and he said softly, "Su Jue will never regret meeting you in this life."

Chu Yunqi was flattered. This was the second time that Su Jue said such affectionate words to himself. For a moment, his heart was full of affection. He hugged Su Jue and smiled and said, "Sit down, Lan'er, let's go."

Su Jue responded lightly, and leaned against his broad and strong chest, Chu Yunqi hugged the waist of the man in his arms, flicked the reins, the black horse neighed, and galloped out of the palace as if flying.

Peach blossoms are in full bloom all over the city, and Chu people are all dressed in fancy clothes and go out to enjoy the flowers.

If the flowers in the forest are beautiful, you will be the flower-watchers when you go out.

In the east of Yancheng, there is a towering peach tree surrounded by three people. Chu people call this tree "marriage tree".

Every time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, unmarried men and women will gather under this tree. The men will break peach branches and give them to the women they like, and the women who are about to marry will also come to pray for a good relationship. Over time, the branches of this peach tree will be covered with A red string is attached to complement the pink peach blossoms.

Chu Yunqi rode his horse up to the tree, got off the horse, took a light step, broke off a peach branch, walked quickly to the horse, and handed it to Su Jue, saying: "The peach is so young, its blossoms are shining. There is a son , warm and moist as jade. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. The sky is the proof, my heart is full of stones."

The sun shone on Chu Yunqi's handsome eyebrows, those deep eyes revealed seriousness and affection, he looked up at the person with picturesque eyebrows on the horse, and said every word.

He didn't care about everyone's surprised gazes, he only wanted the response from the boy in white in front of him.

Su Jue lowered her eyelashes, smiled softly, stretched out a white jade-like hand from her sleeve, took the peach branch, and placed it gently on her chest. The crimson peach blossom lined his fingers even more radiant and white. Young Master Pianpian murmured softly: "Hold your hand, and grow old with you."

Chu Yun Qilang smiled and said: "Out of the east gate, there are women like clouds, even though they are like clouds, I think they will survive!" After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and left with Su Jue in his arms, leaving everyone stunned under the peach tree.

After leaving Yancheng, Chu Yunqi waved the reins and said: "Black Dragon, Shangguandao!" The black horse raised its front hooves, gave a long hiss, "da da" two hooves, and galloped towards Yingcheng camp.

When it was less than twenty miles away from the barracks, Chu Yunqi pulled the reins, and the black horse seemed to understand the master's intentions, slowed down, and just swayed on the bluestone road.

"Lan'er, do you want to go to the city and have a look?" Chu Yunqi asked.

Su Jue replied softly: "I want to go and see Master, but I don't know how Yun'er is doing now."

"Alright, I have something to say to him." Chu Yunqi smiled and said.

So the two came to the bamboo forest in the east of the city together.

The hut was still the same as it was before Su Jue left, and Xiaoyaozi was buried beside a small stream deep in the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was deep and quiet, and the stream jingled melodiously. Su Jue was dressed in white and stood quietly in front of the tombstone.He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but Chu Yunqi babbled for a long time, first thanked Xiaoyaozi for raising such a good person, and then praised Su Huifang in various ways, in short, he said a lot of indecent words.In the end, Chu Yunqi put away his casual look, and said word by word: "Chu Yunqi is not the King of Chu Cheng, and he will definitely live up to Su Jue in this life."

Su Jue's eyes flickered, he turned his head to look at Chu Yunqi, then he turned his head to look at the tombstone, his eyes softened and he said softly: "Master, Lan'er won the bet."

Chu Yunqi stepped forward to hug her, kissed her temples, sighed and said, "I'm too stupid, I'm sorry for you."

Su Jue shook her head lightly, and said in a low voice: "There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and the heart pleases the king, and the heart lives up to the king."

When I saw Yun'er again, he had grown into a handsome young man, as gentle and elegant as Su Jue, and more silky and graceful than Su Jue.

"What are your plans after the three-year mourning period expires?" Chu Yunqi asked.

"Follow the young master." Yun'er said after a moment of silence, looked at Su Jue, then turned to look at Chu Yunqi, and said seriously: "Tell those self-confident Confucian scholars that the master has already expelled the young master before Weixian passed away. Leaving the school, that is to say, the young master does not have to mourn for the master for three years, the young master is not an unkind person."

Chu Yunqi's eyes flickered, and he held Su Jue's hand tightly. At that time, the king of Chu died, and he had just succeeded to the throne. There was an undercurrent in the court, and all the countries were staring at him. Under the situation of internal and external difficulties, he couldn't care about these at all. Thinking of inviting Su Jue out of the mountain to help him stabilize the state of Chu, he didn't think about how Su Jue, who had not yet completed his three-year mourning period, would be criticized by the people all over the world.

How did the young man in white beside him endure the condemnation from all over the world, help him through the most dangerous period of throne change without distraction, how did he devote himself to the political reform, and supported the huge state of Chu together with him.

He owed him too much, thousands of words came to his lips and finally turned into a sentence - "Chu Yunqi will definitely live up to the king in this life".
