Fragrance in the wind

The white snow in the yard is gradually melting, the sun shines on the snow with golden light, and the soil on the ground is full of vitality because of the humidity. The Spring Festival has just passed, and spring seems to be impatiently coming, and a rare visitor comes along with it.

Shan Junyuan knelt on the collapsed brocade pier, staring blankly at His Highness the Sixth Highness leaning on the cushion, his face was pale, his long hair was leaning to his side, his eyes lost all the radiance of the past, he couldn't help but droop his eyes, and felt a pang in his chest. It was a pity that I didn't say a word for a long time.

He heard a lot about what happened in the court after he returned to the capital. He had expected that His Highness would be hit because of it, but he never thought it would be so serious. It was sour, swallowed it vigorously, and it was even more difficult to speak.

"When did you come back?" Zizhou pretended not to notice the sympathy of others.

Shan Junyuan coughed in a low voice, his voice was as strong and powerful as ever: "I returned to Chao the day before yesterday!"

"Seeing your actions and actions, you seem to be much calmer than before. It must be that you have improved a lot after this battle."

Shan Junyuan scratched his head, and smiled blushingly: "I was lucky. It was my first time to fight under the care of His Highness Xin De and General Wu, and I was able to achieve impressive military achievements."

"Yi Guo, what does Emperor Father plan to do with it?"

Shan Junyuan said straightly, "After Zhamuduo was captured, the king of Yi Kingdom went out of the city and surrendered. Although the current Yi Kingdom retains its original customs and appearance, it has been renamed Yi County and assigned to Xi County."

"Go out of the city and surrender?" Zizhou was a little surprised, and his first reaction was to blurt out and ask: "What are the conditions?"

"Back to Zamuduo!"

"One life for one country? What is the plan of the monarch of Yi country?" Zizhou's haggard face flashed a bit of coldness, "Could it be that he still wants to restore the country?"

"I'm definitely thinking about it, but I'm afraid it's because of my lack of power. Your Majesty adopted the policy of admonishing the doctor, 'showing promotion, but actually taking it as a pledge' to summon the royal children of Yi Kingdom to Xijun, and give them official positions according to their talents. Place them on the left and right." Speaking of this, Shan Junyuan did not show a trace of joy in victory, but he sighed and said: "In addition, Zamuduo was seriously injured in the battle with General Wu, I am afraid that time is running out. Even if he has the power to recover, he probably won't even be able to sit up in his life."

Zhamuduo is notoriously cunning and cunning, but he was beaten so badly. It is conceivable how much General Wu, who is over fifty years old, has to pay. Zizhou lowered his head and thought for a long time, his eyes condensed slightly, "General Wu How is he?"

Shan Junyuan held his hands tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his eyes were filled with grief. Whenever he recalled that bloody battle, he couldn't help but tremble.When Zi Zhou saw it, his heart became clear, and he turned his gaze out of the window, confused and worried, "General Wu...is he still alive?"

Hearing His Highness's question, Shan Junyuan quickly restrained his grief, regretting that he should have said too much and caused His Highness to worry, so he said in a deep voice: "General Wu is still here, and His Majesty sent several imperial doctors to the Imperial Hospital to guard day and night, Your Highness is weak, don't worry about it."

Zizhou lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking, so he didn't answer.

The two were silent for a while, both of them seemed to be preoccupied, or maybe it was just pure grief. In order to break the gloomy and low-pressure atmosphere, Shan Junyuan said slowly at the moment: "It won't be long before your subordinates may lead the army to fight. Your Majesty has Worship your subordinates as General Zhenxi, and when the canal is completed, lead the Shence Army to train the water army on the canal."

"It turns out that the purpose of building the canal is really here." Zizhou asked in confusion: "The Shence Army frequently leaves the capital to fight, so he is not afraid of turmoil on the northern border?"

"The northern border seems to be Bai, and the Dong Er family is in charge. In fact, the military power was secretly dispersed by the newly implemented military reform six or seven years ago. There is no threat at all. I heard that Bai, the Dong Er family has already reported to His Majesty. Please resign and return to the field, His Majesty has also agreed."

It took Chunyufeng seven years to destroy the Zi family, and 17 years to eradicate the cancerous tumors of the four major clans.It moves like a fire and doesn't move like a mountain. Once the fire ignites, it will inevitably hurt the innocent. No wonder the master always said that the father was cruel and ruthless.

"Then who will fill the vacancy on the northern border?"

"The second prince asked himself to be stationed at the border as an apology, and most of the troops guarding the northern border have already been brought under the command of a general named Guixin."

Speaking of the current Chunyu Gurui, his mood is very complicated. Although he once harmed him, and watched the irrational Concubine Yi fall into the cold palace with cold eyes, in the final analysis, he was only targeting the Gu family. He is innocent, after all, Gu's betrayal of Zi's, he was still so young.As for the death of the two imperial brothers and the collaborating with the enemy, regardless of whether he participated or not, the Gu family has already paid a heavy price.But now that he is alone, and has been plotted and injured by his mother and concubine, Zizhou finds that he is not as disgusted with him as before. Maybe he is the son of the same clan and has the same fate as him. The hatred has been reduced a lot, but more. Some of the feelings of the same people who have fallen in the end of the world.

"It's getting late! Don't delay His Highness's rest. I'll come to see Your Highness when I have some free time." Shan Junyuan was a neat person, and he stood up as he spoke.

Zizhou summoned Su Le to see off the guests, Shan Junyuan took a step outside, turned his head to look at Zizhou, with some hesitation between his brows, "As a subordinate, you shouldn't talk too much, but every time you think of the first meeting in the martial arts field, six The prince stood in the middle of the field, with an outstanding and captivating demeanor, I really can't bear to see His Highness give up on himself like this, I think His Majesty is the same, otherwise he..." Speaking of this, the emperor's words when he came suddenly appeared in his mind. Looking into His Highness's eyes, he swallowed the rest of the words, and he bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Hearing his persuasion, Zizhou's hand trembled suddenly, and his fingertips pressed hard on the bed, trying to relieve some of the pain in his heart.

Those who know me say that I am worried; those who do not know me say what I want.They didn't understand, they all thought that the relationship between him and his father was just an ordinary father-son relationship.But even if the blood relationship is put aside, how many lives are between them, and Chunyufeng's attitude of hesitating to speak many times, he has long realized that neither of them can truly accept each other calmly.

After Shan Junyuan left, Zizhou proposed to Chunyufeng the idea of ​​visiting General Wu, and Chunyufeng agreed.

Three days later, at noon on a clear day, Zizhou was wrapped up like a rice dumpling by Su Le, with only two phoenix eyes exposed. Accompanied by Chun Yufeng, he arrived at the General's Mansion in an ordinary carriage. Seeing that it was Fu Zhi driving the car, he immediately summoned someone to report, and at the same time stepped forward to bow down.

The two got out of the carriage and were led into the General's Mansion by the servants.At this time, the chief of the general's mansion also rushed over, nodding and bowing to follow the left and right, and the servants along the way saw this posture and bowed all the way.

"How is the old general?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the master's spirit is much better than when he returned to court!"

"If you need any medication, just tell the imperial physicians."

"Yes!" The master said with tears in his eyes, "This old servant is here to thank His Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the master."

While answering, everyone had already arrived at the master bedroom. They had heard from the servants that His Majesty and His Highness the Sixth Highness were here early in the morning. Wu Guang gritted his teeth and refused to listen to the imperial physician's dissuasion. Holy ride.

When Chunyufeng saw him, he frowned slightly. The old general was famous for his fierce temper, so he didn't say anything, but turned his head and ordered the servants beside him to help Wu Guang up.

Fu Zhi took off their cloaks for the two of them. During this period, all the servants in the house bustled around in panic. Those who brought tea served tea, those who set up seats set up seats, those who added coal added coal, and the spacious bedroom in the past seemed very spacious. The outside is small.

Wu Guang was lying halfway between the beds, his gray eyes wandering unconsciously over the two people on the opposite side, exhausted and vicissitudes, it took half a cup of tea to calm down, and said slowly: "The old minister heard that His Highness is also sick. , why did such a cold day come here suddenly?"

After Wu Guang's words fell, Chun Yufeng's eyes fell on Zizhou again, and he was much softer unconsciously. He heard him say: "For the first time in the battle, General Wu has been protecting the left and right with all his heart. I am always grateful for the friendship of Robe Ze."

Whenever someone mentions the word battlefield, his eyes will flash a sharp light, even if he is dying on the bed, there is no exception, "This old man has been fighting with the young emperor since he was ten years old, watching with his own eyes, The three kings are complete, the four seas are one, the people live a stable life, no longer suffer from the pain of separatist regimes and melee, this life has no regrets!" He said in a calm mood.

Chunyufeng's eyes were slightly concentrated, and the past flashed through his mind instantly. He looked at the person in front of him, within reach, and suddenly found that what he wanted was so simple, and what should be so natural had now become his extravagant wish.

"If you say that the only one who feels regret is the old man's wife and children. It has become a lifelong miss because of a careless mistake. The kind of regret that wants to make up but is not there often pops up suddenly inadvertently. Come out and break your heart." Wu Guang gathered his five fingers and grasped his front, tears streaming down uncontrollably, whether it was relief or sadness, until now it is impossible to distinguish.

"If you say that you don't have any regrets in your heart? Those are all young and energetic words. Day after day, you realize that the love of the old minister for his wife and children is no less than that of your majesty for his highness. The only one left is Endless pain and suffering."

Hearing what the other party said about the miss of a lifetime, Zizhou felt a little sad, and hurriedly closed his eyes to adjust secretly.He understood the meaning of General Wu's words, and also understood Chunyufeng's painstaking efforts to keep him.

"So we must treat every parting with caution. The world is unpredictable, and the world is not benevolent. Maybe the meeting between you and me today will be the last farewell in this life."

"The old general is weak now, so why add to the sentimentality?" Chun Yufeng sighed, his sharp-edged face was as stern as ever.

"When a person is about to die, his words are good." Wu Guang let out a long sigh, causing a cough, and after he calmed down, he stroked Chunyufeng's clothes with his hand, his eyes were serious, "The old minister still has worries. Your Majesty's temper, Your Majesty must remember that if you are happy, you will reward indiscriminately, and if you are angry, you will kill indiscriminately without guilt. The world is in chaos, and this is the source. Even if it is for the Sixth Highness, you must accept your temper!" said Finished, before the other party responded, he withdrew his hand and put it on the side of the bed, speaking from the bottom of his heart consumed too much energy.
