White Feather Huaisha

——— Thousand Miles——

Swaggering to the northwest, Tianhan leans to the southeast.After many years, Beiji sent his troops south again, devouring the map, and arrived at Dajingmen. As a result, in the south of Liangzhou and north of Dajingmen, there were large areas of scorched earth and bones, blood-soaked skulls, yellow dust, and the sun was blurred.

And this range is still expanding.Spread out the map and draw a line connecting the cities and towns looted by Beiji, and you will find that the wind sent by Beiji's sword is about to poke the throat of this weak dynasty.

The golden powder of the capital is shrouded in the cold and damp water vapor, only a few branches of old plums are cloaked horizontally and vertically, and the oblique thorns pierced the morning light, and a few sparse red flowers bloomed.

The city of Jinling was in chaos, and the whole city was in chaos. Most of the business letters that could not be clearly attributed to whom were all thrown to the household department.

Heng Wang Xie Jiang endured for several days in a row, and finally spared half an hour at dawn to listen to the letter with his eyes closed.

Lin Chuanluo always felt that when he closed his eyes like this, his face suddenly became much sharper, somewhat resembling his elder brother who is the lone star of the gods, but fortunately he still has a pair of eyes that can make people angry.

Unexpectedly, the slap in the face came very quickly, Xie Jiang suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no anger in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Read it again."

Xie Jiang is a smiling tiger who is used to domineering, as long as he is awake, Lin Zhuluo has no reason to fall asleep, so this mainstay of the household department is sleepier than Xie Jiang.

Lin Chuluo, who was shrouded in drowsiness, was originally dull, so not only did he not feel the hesitation, but he also didn't know what he was reading at all. He recited the sentence just now in a dazed state, "The granary in the north of the city opened a granary to store grain. Encountered looting by the common people... Hey, my mother, isn’t this adding to the chaos, what kind of food is openly stored at this juncture. Have they reported it?”

Xie Jiang seemed not to hear, and stared at him, "The one in front."

Lin Zhuluo then turned back a page and yawned, "The Qingzhou Army's new commander Yan Yufei sent it... well, King Huai led the Longqing Second Army to break out of Liangzhou and head south today—"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Jiang suddenly stood up from the couch, took the page from his hand while putting on his clothes, "Get up, and enter the palace with the king."

Rare good news came from the north—the emperor's eldest son, King Huai, led the Second Longqing Army to break out of Liangzhou.

The cold wind was blowing hard on the long palace road, and Lin Zhuluo was woken up by the blow, and suddenly said: "Hey, Your Highness, I actually heard about this battle report last night."

Xie Jiang didn't know what he was thinking, the palace man handed him a hand warmer, and he handed it to Master Lin who was hunched over from the cold, "Have you heard anything?"

Lin Zhuluo was like a bare-skinned chicken soaked in ice water, while holding a hand warmer to cover his neck, he poured out gossip like beans.

It is said that King Huai, who has always used force to suppress the enemy, broke the siege of Liangzhou this time without mobilizing a single soldier. He just ransacked the pharmacies in the whole county - he didn't want the gold, silver and jewels of the people, but Croton.

It is also said that after King Huai set foot on the land of Liangzhou, the first sentence that Jinkou uttered was: "Tsk, this smell."

This siege was so stinking, it can be said to be the most flavorful battle in the history of the Great Zhou War.

Probably because of being kicked in the chest by King Huai three years ago, Lin Chuanluo was deliberately ignored by Xie Huai in recent years.After a short time with each other, the image of Xie Huai is very mysterious in Mr. Lin's concept, so Mr. Lin laughed while talking, "Crotou, how did you come up with it? I didn't realize that His Royal Highness Huai Wang is so weak..."

Xie Jiang stood still, licked his lips, looked at Lin Xuanluo sympathetically and shook his head, "I'm afraid you will have a bad life."

Lin Xuanluo reacted for a long time, and raised his foot to chase after him, "What do you mean?... Your Highness, Your Highness, King Huai, he won't be picking up that old trouble-maker again, right?!"

Xie Jiang smiled and tilted his head, and said, "Master Lin."

Only then did Lin Chuanluo realize that he had arrived at the place, so he quickly silenced, and even made a redundant "shh".

The emperor's spring and autumn are late, and he was already seriously ill before winter.This time, there is no need for an imperial physician to diagnose and treat him. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this old man with gray beard and hair is dying.

Empress Li didn't care about Xie Xi's fate any more, and finally floated back from the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha in a gloomy mood, intending to send the emperor off for the last time—of course, in a very reserved way, bringing along the uncle, the father, and the family, all of them. , holding a pen and ink in front of his eyes all day long, and finally shaking the emperor who was known as "I knew it well" remembered the matter of Li Chu.

The iron horses were clanging on the porch, I hadn't seen him for a few months, Xie Luan had already lost his stature, wearing a big cloak trimmed with red fox fur, standing there in a daze with his slender arms in his arms.From a distance, it looks like a rough jade, about to turn into a dense pine.

After a long time, Xie Luan was nodded by the attendant, turned around and greeted quickly, "Second Brother!"

The second brother is the "brother emperor", and the elder brother is the "big brother", Xie Luan has always been very clear about the distinction.

The copper door of the main hall was closed tightly, not a breath of wind could enter.Xie Jiang couldn't even enter the door, so he asked for a chair and sat down at the door, patted his robe, and said, "Why is King Rong standing here?"

Xie Luan shook his head, "My queen told me to wait here."

Lin Xuanluo glanced at Xie Jiang, but hesitated to speak.Xie Jiang seemed to be able to hear the nagging in his heart, turned his head and glanced at him lightly, Lin Zhuluo swallowed the words back again.

Xie Luan is a clever child, his homework is better than those of the attendants selected from the rich and powerful families, and he was hung on Xie Huai's lap and spent half of his youth in the army.Such a vision and a broad mind are something ordinary people can only hope for.Although Xie Luan looks like a child now, he is probably quite different from his peers in the inside.

It is not surprising that the emperor wants to make Xie Luan the crown prince.Using the standard horizontal and vertical ratios in the sage books, such an emperor would be a blessing to the common people no matter what.

But there is no need for others to remind, Xie Luan knows it himself.

Unexpectedly, Xie Luan stood with his hands down for a long while, and said abruptly, "Second Brother, why does everyone want to be the emperor?"

Xie Jiang knew who he was asking, so he deliberately went around in circles and said with a smile, "It's not like everyone wants to be that."

Xie Luan was blown by the wind for a while, probably caught a little cold, sniffed, and said with a smile: "I know, the second brother doesn't want to be."

That's a little outspoken.Lin Xuanluo hurriedly went to see Xie Jiang, but Xie Jiang actually raised his lips and smiled, "Mmm".

Xie Jiang has a perverse temper since he was a child, and no one likes him very much.

I hate empress Gu and the emperor's quarrel, so I hate going to say hello.I find his elder brother's eyebrows and eyebrows annoying, and I hate learning riding and archery with him.Still feeling annoyed by the palace people buzzing around him, when he was old enough to hold a pen, he dragged his nose and bedroll to sit at the gate of the Imperial Academy, lingering in a strange manner.

When the concubines in the palace talked about the second prince, they all said that he had a strange temper, maybe it was because of subtle influences——Since Xie Jiang was born, he had never seen the emperor and Queen Gu have a good day, and Xie Huai had such a good face. The big brother who was so angry, even a good boy would be spoiled.

Xie Jiang also suspected that those three violent tempers made him like this in the early days, but when he read more books and spent more time alone, Xie Jiang became more and more aware that no one could blame, and there was no need to "blame" , he is such a person.

Some people are born to be Xie Huai with a face full of emotions, some are born to be stupid and enthusiastic Xie Xi, and some are born to be Xie Luan who attracts the attention of the world, so naturally there should be some people who are born to be too cold when they see the sky, and dirty when they see the earth. See Xie Jiang, who is lifeless in the world.

There's nothing right or wrong, it's just nature.

He can't see anything, he doesn't like anything, no matter how good things are put in front of him, he can pick out the bad ones.

For others, being an official who is overwhelmed by the scalp, for him is a knife and pen official who bury his old papers; The unstoppable throne.

A vat of historical dust is buried with Xia Ding Qin Bridge and Famous Rein Li Suo.

No fun, no fun.

A gust of cold wind changed the direction of the wind and passed through the corridor, Xie Luan pressed the fiery red fox fur collar with thin white fingers, "...but not everyone is the second emperor brother."

People are different from each other, their temperaments are very different, and their situations are even more different.

Xie Jiang hated everything, so he was thrown into the household department where there was a pile of chicken feathers waiting to be picked up; Xie Huai wanted the vat of dust, so much that he wished to stain the court clothes with blood, but the emperor didn't want to give it to anyone.And Xie Luan didn't do anything, just be his happy little Rong Wang, everything he yearned for was at his fingertips.

It didn't matter what the emperor thought, though.The Son of Heaven's golden mouth speaks eloquently, but even if a sentence is covered with two taels of gold and white jade, it is only a sentence that will be blown away in the wind.

In the final analysis, the "emperor" is just a chair of rare materials, and the number of people who hold the chair underneath is willing to continue to support it.

Just like today’s Xie Luan—there are thousands of figures standing behind Empress Li, family members, nobles, imperial merchants, foreign relatives, and even Western businessmen and missionaries connected to Nanyang ports. Thousands of greedy mouths are eager for gold, silver, fame and glory It is full, and it is urgent to select a new one. Xie Luan, who is still young and immature, is the best choice.

As for Xie Huai——Xie Huai may be able to use his iron fist to open up a wider territory and a stronger backbone, but who knows whether the same iron fist will break the already crumbling golden wall?

They are as afraid of Xie Huai as they are afraid of those unfounded monsters in Shan Hai Jing and Lie Yi Zhuan, and even more disgusted.

Xie Luan spent one-third of his life among those people, and he knew the answer after the door opened.Then what did he want Xie Jiang to say?

Xie Jiang was a little annoyed by the question, although his face was still full of spring and tranquility, but Lin Zhuluo saw his temper more often, and he coughed lightly when he saw the virtue of disgusting others, reminding him not to follow him. The future little emperor put on a face, otherwise the Ministry of Household Affairs would have to sell everything and fail to pay the salary.

A long-winded cough landed on the ground, Xie Jiang's face turned pale, and he turned his gaze back to the young boy's face, his expression was almost gentle, "What about that little emperor in Beiji? Aluan, do you think he wants to be such an emperor?" ?”
