generation hero

Feng Cong and Yuan Tang set up target archery under the mound behind Qingliang Hall. Yuan Tang had practiced with Yuan De at home. At first, he couldn't even draw the bow, but after practicing his hand strength, he was able to draw the three-stone bow.

The Taixue Lecture Hall also has archery courses. Feng Cong seems to want to make up for Yuan Tang’s lack of being able to go to Taixue to study. He practices with him every day according to the lessons in the Lecture Hall. Yuan Tang learns a lot from Feng Cong. For example, in archery, Yuan Tang's aim is not very good, Feng Cong's riding and shooting skills are superb, so he taught Yuan Tang how to aim and position himself.

From the night when the crown prince held a banquet at the beginning of the month to the end of the month, this period of time for Yuan Tang was really... hard to describe.

He and Feng Cong ate and lived together, read books, practiced martial arts, and even slept together sometimes. Yuan Tang didn't think there was anything wrong with this in the past, and of course it's not wrong now—he was a companion, and the relationship between the two of them was relatively close. The companions are close, and they have gone through hardships together—but now everything is different for Yuantang.

In the past, no matter what he did with Feng Cong, Yuan Tang felt that it was natural, but now Feng Cong is still the same, Yuan Tang can't be natural, sometimes when the two of them sit together reading, eating or something, his thoughts will drift to Feng Cong for a while, thinking Is it possible for him to break Feng Cong? He has never bent anyone, has no experience at all, and is it unethical to break straight men or something.

Sometimes Yuan Tang would think how great it would be if Feng Cong liked men too, but he was afraid that Feng Cong would be like many good men with broken sleeves if he liked men in this era, if one day Feng Cong hugged a group of indisputable boys like flowers and jade Asking himself if he wants to play, Yuantang thinks that he will go crazy, and the picture feels tender inside and out.

Of course Feng Cong wouldn't do that, he must have been too deeply influenced by the stimulation of some scene.

While thinking wildly, Yuantang still has to endure sweet suffering. When archery, practice is practice. In order to help Yuantang put himself in the right posture, Feng Cong often holds Yuantang's hand to teach, his chin is pressed against Yuantang's forehead, The whole body encloses Yuantang, the body temperature is connected, and the breath is smelled. This feeling can be regarded as being hugged even if rounded.

Of course the hug was in Yuantang's dream, Feng Cong just helped Yuantang correct his posture tirelessly.

And so on, the two have a lot of daily contact, like many boys who are close to each other when they are teenagers, it is common for them to rub against each other, bump into each other, and get into trouble together. Evil heart", while enduring the torment of not being able to get any closer.

Feng Cong is in the transition period from youth to youth. His body is slender and powerful, his skin is delicate and warm, and his muscles are full of vitality. He moves like an agile leopard. Whenever he is with him, Yuan Tang is fascinated.

Generally speaking, life is full of anxiety and temptation, pain and happiness.

It was also during this period of re-examining the relationship with Feng Cong that Yuan Tang realized that Feng Cong's alienation from him was completely different from the beginning.

He took care of him, would tell him a lot of interesting things, he was very skilled in martial arts but would also practice martial arts with him, Yuan Tang also felt very relaxed and happy being with Feng Cong.

It's just that sometimes Feng Cong has something on his mind. Wang Shangshu made Feng Cong feel a little irritable because of Feng Cong. Depression, Yuantang had felt it when he pushed the second prince into the water to confront the emperor.

The more things the Queen Mother puts on Feng Cong, the heavier the shackles on Feng Cong.He never said anything, Yuan Tang felt that it was something he didn't want to mention, so he didn't ask.

The arrow feather flew out with a "swoosh" and hit the red bull's-eye. Feng Cong let go of Yuan Tang's hand, backed away slightly, and said, "Not bad." Yuan Dezhan took a look and praised Yuan Tang for his good shot.

Yuan Tang thought it was good, what's the good thing, I don't know how the arrow was released, practicing arrows with Feng Cong is really hindering progress, Yuan Tang doesn't know what he is doing every time, but he is asked to give up this kind of practice It is absolutely impossible.

Feng Cong asked the servant to move the target a little farther away, and said to Yuan Tang, "Try again."

Shen Jingxuan came down from the back porch of Qingliang Hall, Yuan Tang saw him and waved to him happily.

Yuan Tang and Feng Cong were practicing archery under a long shed. It was drizzling outside, and Shen Jingxuan came out from the eaves with a paper fan. The raindrops rolled over his clothes, glistening, making him even more cold.

Shen Jingxuan patted the rainwater on his clothes lightly, and said: "The crown prince came to pay his respects to the queen mother. The day to return to Beijing is set in three days. It's really cold and bitter to return to autumn." Seeing the bull's-eye arrow, he said: " Did Erlang shoot it? It’s really good. When you were ten years old, I went to Yuan’s house. At that time, you hid in the room like a little girl and refused to see anyone. Now you can sit on a saddle and draw a bow.”

Shen Jingxuan was talking about the former Yuan Tang, and Yuan Tang said sincerely, "I'm ashamed." That Yuan Tang was not me, and I didn't shoot the arrow.

"I'm here to congratulate Your Highness on being crowned king," Shen Jingxuan said, "There's a lot of quarrels in the court, and His Highness is free."

Feng Cong laughed and said, "Tong Xi. Don't come here to make fun of me."

Shen Jingxuan admitted generously: "Yes, I came here to ridicule you."

Yuan Tang couldn't help laughing for a moment, these two people are really like each other, neither of them can talk well when they meet.

Shen Jingxuan said: "I heard from the crown prince that during the discussion this morning, Wang Shangshu recommended to the imperial court that you should succeed King Huan and go out of town Shangyun."

Yuan Tang thought he heard it wrong: "Who, Ah Cong?"

Feng Cong stood with his bow open, his eyes unblinking, and the arrow flew swiftly, breaking open the arrow that Yuantang had hit in the bull's-eye earlier in an uproar. He has led the army, but his qualifications and reputation are not as good as Xiao Xiezhi, so it is useless to recommend me."

Shen Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you surprised?"

Feng Cong said: "The queen mother has left me for so long, she will use me sooner or later, she just uses me to compete with the Xiao family."

The Empress Dowager and Feng Cong are like rivals. Yuan Tang doesn't know how their relationship became like this. The Empress Dowager seldom explains anything to Feng Cong. Even if some of her decisions are related to Feng Cong, she seems to want to Let Feng Cong understand and deal with it on his own. The grandfather and grandson never mentioned anything related to the government when they met, but there was always an invisible thread between them.

The relationship between the queen mother and Feng Cong is more subtle than the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor.

"What are your plans?" Shen Jingxuan said.

Feng Cong frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty will not agree, and neither will the courtiers. It is important to send someone to Shangyun, not just to be effective. It is necessary to subdue Beicheng on the outside, appease the soldiers on the inside, and defend the court. They Didn't Wang Shangshu be dismissed?"

"Rejected," Shen Jingxuan said, "but Wang Shangshu thinks that sending the clan as the town general, and then ordering a strong general to serve as the military commander or join the army will be safe. A deputy general can command the soldiers, so considering that you have the status of the clan, and you are the son of Prince Wenxi, and you are young and powerful, it seems that you are not much worse than Xiao Shizhong going out of the town."

Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but wondered: "The Queen Mother won't really want you to leave the town, is there really no one in the Wang family who is more suitable than you?"

Feng Cong smiled and said, "Even you believe it."

Shen Jingxuan said: "At the beginning, the Wang family never mentioned anyone to take over as King Huan. To be honest, I don't think it is impossible. A few days ago, the Wang family even recommended a person to join the Chinese army. You may also know him. He is a scholar. The student, named Su Zicong, his father is as famous as Erlang's father, and he is currently guarding Muzhou North. There are so many Wu family sons in Taixue, why did the Wang family choose his son to join the Chinese army. If you go out of the town to Shangyun, General Su As a lieutenant general, it is also feasible."

The Chinese Army is the Forbidden Army of the capital. Su Zicong has already served in the Chinese Army. Feng Cong was also a little surprised. He murmured Su Zicong's name and said, "Your Majesty, let the Wang family do what they want?"

Shen Jingxuan said: "Of course not. Your Majesty has asked my clan brother to draft an edict to transfer General Su from Muzhou to Qizhou. Qizhou is located in the north of Muzhou and farther away from the capital. But if you really leave the town Shangyun, it is not impossible to transfer him back to Shangyun in the future."

"Impossible." Feng Cong said in a low voice.

Shen Jingxuan said, "Is it impossible or you don't want to?"

Feng Cong smiled helplessly: "It's absolutely impossible. Even if the Wang family can't find a suitable person, it will definitely not be me. I thought they would win over the Zhan family and want to use Zhan Fang to get out of town. Fang also hopes that the family can regain military power. If they really want me to leave the town, wouldn't it be better to let me stay in Shangyun from the beginning."

Shen Jingxuan was also puzzled, he followed the prince's greetings and could not stay for long, told Feng Cong the news and left.

Feng Cong frowned and meditated, Yuan Tang didn't have the heart to practice arrows anymore, he didn't understand government affairs better than Feng Cong and Shen Jingxuan, so he could only stay with Feng Cong in a daze, secretly staring at Feng Cong, after a while, Yuan Tang stared at Staring really stayed.

Feng Cong stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of Yuantang's eyebrows, and said with a smile, "I don't worry about anything you worry about."

Of course I'm worried about you!

Yuan Tang was taken aback, and felt a little distressed when he heard Feng Cong's indifferent tone. He already knew that Feng Cong was not really indifferent in many cases. He just couldn't help himself in the game. Yuan Tang just arrived in the palace When I asked Feng Cong what he thought, Feng Cong didn't answer, not because he didn't want to, but because he was already involved, and his thoughts became insignificant.

Feng Cong was just thinking about the news from Shen Jingxuan, but now he was interested in Yuan Tang. He moved closer to Yuan Tang, and a handsome face magnified in Yuan Tang's sight.

"What, why?" Yuan Tang couldn't straighten his tongue.

Feng Cong didn't speak, and there was a half-smile in those golden phoenix eyes.

Yuan Tang's heart was beating like a motor, and his face was calm: "What are you looking at me for?"

"Say, what are you worried about?" Feng Cong asked.

Yuantang wanted to ask, so he asked why he was so close, and if he came closer again, be careful and I will kiss you.

"I said I would help you leave the capital, but now I still can't help you." Yuan Tang was also very discouraged. He was not appointed as a general, his promise was not fulfilled, and his boyfriend was not negotiated. Isn't it very worrying.

"If I count on you, I won't be able to get out for the rest of my life." Feng Cong said straightforwardly, "I can't even help myself, so I don't blame you."

Yuan Tang was heartbroken by the blow, and made a bitter face. Feng Cong rubbed him again and said, "Others think it's a good thing to be a king or a marquis. Even Shen Jingxuan thinks I'm too arrogant. Why don't you think so?"

Not only did Yuan Tang never think that way, even Feng Cong wanted to leave Xia Guo-in the eyes of the world, it was almost equivalent to betraying his surname and Da Xia-Yuan Tang accepted everything, Feng Cong had always been a little strange, I don't know why Yuan Tang saw it clearly He looks very well-behaved and well-behaved, but sometimes he has unexpected ideas and actions.

"Ah?" Yuan Tang himself was also questioned. He thought about it and said, "What you ask for may not be what you want, and what you get may not be what you want. Only you know whether it is good or not, as long as you have a clear conscience... maybe Because I didn't know who you were when I met you, so I don't think you must be what you should be."

"You may not get what you want, and you may not get what you want..." Feng Cong repeated, "It's true. It turns out that you have always seen me that way in your heart."

How do I see you, is there anything wrong with what I said.Yuan Tang stared at him blankly, Feng Cong just smiled and shook his head.

Yuan Tang feels that Feng Cong has a lot on his mind recently.

A gust of wind slanted and blew the rain into the thatched shed. Feng Cong and Yuan Tang leaned against the wooden fence beside the shed. Stretching out his long arms, he hugged Yuantang close to him and said, "Come here."

Yuantang leaned over happily and bitterly.I sighed in my heart, alas!

Three days later, the queen mother had asked Wang Shangshu to recommend Feng Cong out of town, and she didn't intend to hide it from him. The night Shen Jingxuan came to see them, the queen mother asked Feng Cong to stay in Qingliang Hall to talk.

Briefly explaining the affairs of the court, the queen mother quietly looked at Feng Cong's expression. Feng Cong couldn't figure out the queen mother's intentions, so he asked the queen mother directly: "Who do you plan to replace your uncle this time, is it Wang Qu or the Wang family?" hansome?"

The weather turned cold, and the queen mother put on the brocade jacket. She expected that Feng Cong would ask this question, and a smile appeared on her lips: "You also said that Wang Qu could not be qualified to be the general of Shangjun. The right person."

"It's Zhan Fang? Although the Zhan family's influence is only in Caizhou, the Zhan family's military style is strong. Maybe Zhan Fang can be the general of any party."

The queen mother said: "I was also optimistic about the children of the Zhan family, but Zhan Fang's temperament is not stable enough. I wanted to take advantage of the Zhan family's influence when I introduced him to the capital. I never thought that he himself would fall into the schemes of the Xiao family first, but the son of the Shen family is more capable and shrewd." , It's a pity that the Shen family still lacks courage, and it's a pity that they don't want to let the children of the Shen family be contaminated with military force."

"Who else does the Queen Mother care about?" Feng Cong asked.

The Empress Dowager leaned slowly on the soft seat, with her hands folded on her knees. She had been a regent in the court and had been honored and raised for many years. Her gestures and gestures looked dignified. She looked at Feng Cong in the spare time and said, "Your uncle told me , when you were in Shangjun, you often went to the barracks, and you are very familiar with Shangjun soldiers. You also read military art, classics, and history on weekdays. When you were in Jucheng, you also led troops to defend the city. , the imperial court will send a general to accompany you until you can completely control Shangyun, isn't that just right?"

Feng Cong still looked at the queen mother suspiciously, but the queen mother didn't feel offended, but was a little interested. It seemed that accepting Feng Cong's suspicion was also an interesting thing.

"Why can't it be you," said the queen mother, "you don't trust grandma so much. You are my own grandson, and I will not harm you."

Feng Cong's expression was deeper and more cautious.

The queen mother actually showed an appreciative smile, and she said: "You will be crowned king soon, and you will be an adult in the future. After returning to the capital, you can no longer follow your own temper like before. If you want to go to school, you can still go to Taizhou after you become queen. You can study, or ask the teacher to enter the palace. I will not hold you any longer, you can go wherever you want, but if you do it as you like, I will never go around lightly, even if you are not punished, I will never let you go. People pamper you."

A dangerous gleam flashed across Feng Cong's eyes, and quickly disappeared. He said, "Got it."

The Wang family strongly supported Feng Cong as the king, and strongly recommended him out of the town of Shangyun. Feng Cong changed from a heir of the former prince who was avoided by everyone to a hot figure, and many families began to make friends with Feng Cong.

As Feng Cong's attendant, Yuan Tang followed suit, and the number of posts delivered to the Yuan family's capital mansion increased sharply, and some who could not find a way to get through had to be forwarded to others.

Su Zicong, who had already joined the Chinese army and was assigned as a palace guard, helped someone to hand over several posts to Yuantang.

Knowing what He Lifang did in Changgui, Su Zicong had broken off friendship with He Lifang. According to Su Zicong, after He Lifang returned to Beijing, he was soon recommended by Xiao Shanzhi to the Huizhou Military Mansion.

When mentioning Huizhou Yuantang, I remembered: "My cousin is also in the Huizhou Army, so he wrote to me saying that he has been promoted to a centurion recently."

Huizhou is in the upper reaches of the river, and there are no counties and counties connected to Beicheng. The military command is not as large as Caizhou and Beisanzhou. Because it is close to Gyeonggi and embedded between Caizhou and Gyeonggi Xiangzhou, Huizhou's location is also very important, so Only then was the military government established.

Su Zicong also said: "General Xu Shiji of the Huizhou Army is a veteran of the three dynasties. He is smooth, like a tumbler. He does not help anyone and does not rely on anyone. He Lifang will not get the support of Xiao's party there. Hey, Since your cousin is already acquainted there, why don't you write a letter to ask him to take care of you so that you can avenge you. I met He Lifang and thought he was a friend, but I didn't expect him to be a villain behind the scenes .”

Only after returning to Yuantang, the capital city, did he realize that Su Zicong's father had probably already joined the Queen Mother's faction, and that He Lifang's family had entered Beijing in the early years and might have belonged to the Xiao family. The water in the capital city was much deeper than he had imagined.

Yuan Tang had no feelings for He Lifang, since Feng Cong avenged him anyway.

On the day of Chongyang, Wang Qu invited Feng Cong to a banquet again, this time it was not a small banquet, Wang Qu invited the children of various families in Beijing to climb up to drink.

Seeing that the Xiuyuan is full of clothes and hats, it is full of romance, and scholars write poems in Qushui, so it is very lively.Wang Qu enshrined Feng Cong on the throne, and showed great respect to Feng Cong, which further confirmed the determination of the Wang family to recommend Feng Cong.

The guests followed the master, and everyone vaguely regarded Feng Cong as the center of the banquet. There were endless waves of people who were toasting Feng Cong, and the spilled wine soaked through the carpet in front of Feng Cong's seat.

Shen Jingxuan was also dressed in snow clothes and sat among the guests, he looked coldly at everyone in the seat and did not come to toast.Yuan Tang could not drink alcohol, nor did he toast.

Fortunately, Feng Cong's capacity for alcohol is very good, everyone went into battle again and again, but everyone could drink more than him.However, it was annoying when there were too many people toasting. Before noon, Feng Cong said he was too tired to leave the table. He was the host and guest, and his identities were very different now, so everyone could only rely on him.

Wang Que also arranged for them to rest in the last hut. The flower windows at the back of the hut have been built into walls and murals have been painted.

Yuan Tang: ...

Not long after they arrived at the hut, Shen Jingxuan knocked on the door.

"It's really boring." Shen Jingxuan sighed.
