a long song

One.

It was early autumn of the coming year.

Xiao He came on a very clear morning.

When Han Xin left, Zhang Liang was reading a book by the window in the morning light, everyone in the world knew that Liuhou had already retired to the mountains and forests, and he had nothing to do with the affairs of the court.Therefore, even though it was a great event that Chen Xi Fuzhu and other officials congratulated, Liuhou still sat on his chair as stable as a mountain.

Although Han Xin felt a little disappointed that Zhang Liang did not accompany him.But thinking that since he had escaped from the annoying Weiyang Palace, it would be better not to get involved in anything. Thinking of this, Han Xin calmed down.

Before leaving, although Xiao He was present, it was inconvenient for Han Xin to be intimate with Zhang Liang, but when he thought that they might not meet each other until a day later, he couldn't help saying earnestly: "Ovary, wait for me to come back."

Zhang Liang's hand holding the bamboo slips squeezed the bamboo slip secretly, and he said "yes", but at the same time Han Xin turned around, he raised his eyes and met Xiao He's gaze.Those gazes were as fiery as torch, if there was substance, Xiao He felt his whole body was on fire for a while, and at the same time he felt that all the thoughts in his heart were seen by others.Under this gaze, he was a little embarrassed because of his guilty conscience, so he hurriedly lowered his eyes, clenched his fists in his sleeves, and turned around to avoid it.

That day Zhang Liang waited from morning till dusk, and from dark night until dawn, and finally asked him to wait for someone.

The man looked like a teenager, with thin feet, not tall, and quick-witted.He ran in and whispered to Liu Hou who was hiding in the shadow of the dawn, finally giving the man who was almost like a statue a little bit of life.

Zhang Liang tried to stand up while holding on to the table, but his legs were numb from sitting for too long, and he almost fell headfirst as soon as he got up.He Yi, who was on the side, quickly supported him with his eyes and hands, and screamed almost hoarsely: "Sir!"

Zhang Liang's complexion was almost bloodless, but his expression and demeanor were still calm, he said in a hoarse voice: "Prepare the carriage and go to Chang'an."

He Yi has been by his side for many years, and seeing his expression, he knew the situation thousands of miles away. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help scolding him anxiously: "Since the situation is not considered urgent, sir, eat your meal first, and then have a few sips of hot water." It’s not too late to leave after Shui Nuan warms up. The expression on Mr. Wang’s face is really worrying.”

But Zhang Liang seemed a little dazed, and looked over in a daze. His eyes were raised up, and the beautiful eyes that should have been shining were crystal clear at this moment, like a pool of water that was about to fall, and pleaded: "Let me go to Chang'an, he needs me now."

He Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized belatedly that the master's hand he was holding in his palm was trembling.He Yi may not be said to have participated in all the important periods in Liuhou's life from the past to the present, but he has also followed his husband for more than ten years.In more than ten years, today was the first time he felt his husband's hands trembling.

He Yi finally compromised.He softly helped Zhang Liang to sit down, and went to busy himself with some travel matters.He asked people to find a spacious and simple carriage, spread a thin mattress on the seat, and took a small blanket.Then he brewed a pot of hot weak tea on the small table, served some softer food, and then welcomed Zhang Liang into the carriage.

After everything was ready, He Yi said to the inside of the car, "Sir, you should use as much as you can on the small table. It will be midnight at the earliest to go to Chang'an, and the journey is long and bumpy. Can you, sir?" Sleep for a while. I remember my husband used to say that if you don’t take good care of your body, everything in the future will be out of the question. Although I also know that my husband is worried, if the condition of Huaiyinhou is not good at this time, then the next situation will definitely be It's for my husband to support me." Speaking of this, he knew that his husband should be able to hear it, so he also stopped talking.Sure enough, a tired voice came from inside the tent and said, "I see, you go."

Only then did He Yi sit on the front shaft, pulled the reins, and the carriage started slowly, carrying the two of them forward.

two.

Zhang Liang set off early in the morning and arrived in Chang'an only after dusk.Under the guidance of the messenger boy accompanying the carriage, He Yi drove the carriage into a winding alley, and stopped in front of a mansion that looked a little old.

When Zhang Liang opened the curtain, the first thing he saw was Lu Ze who came out to welcome him.He is the elder brother of the current empress, only a few years older than Zhang Liang, but his appearance is much older, with the shrewdness and arrogance that people in the court are used to.

Lu Ze stepped forward a few steps forward, with a very gentle and earnest attitude: "Don't worry, Marquis Liu, Marquis Huaiyin has only one serious injury, and it has been healed now. He was still burning last night and this morning, and just left in the afternoon. The doctor said it should have been done." It's okay, it's just that you may have to sleep for a day or two."

Zhang Liang nodded, and his tight lips relaxed a little.He followed Lu Ze into the courtyard and came to Han Xin's room.As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Liang smelled the very familiar smell of herbs that had accompanied him for many years.A little deeper into the room is the bed. Under the cover of the curtain, Zhang Liang can only see someone lying on the bed under the quilt, showing a little black hair.

He walked over quickly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and saw the face he was thinking about, with his eyes closed, his breathing was a little short but steady.Zhang Liang lifted up a corner of the quilt and looked, Han Xin's body was indeed as Lu Ze said, most of them were flesh wounds, only the left shoulder was wrapped with a white cloth, it seemed that the wound was deep.However, this is required for acting. Empress Lu was able to control Han Xin's injury to such a degree that it took a lot of effort. Zhang Liang is still very satisfied with her.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang put down the raised quilt and tucked it in for Han Xin.He stood up, nodded to Lu Ze who was standing a few feet away, and said softly, "Follow me when you are finished."

The two went to the next room together.

After Han Xin told Zhang Liang about Chen Xi, Zhang Liang felt that something was wrong.In the next few days, Zhang Liangsi thought about it, and felt that instead of letting Han Xin continue to sit and wait for death, he should take the initiative to settle the matter.So he picked an hour and went to Chang'an to meet Empress Lu who had wanted to discuss strategies with him many times before.

Lu Zhi himself also had hardships to speak of. The prince Liu Ying she gave birth to was gentle and kind, but his father thought he was weak and could be bullied, so he didn't like it.Today, he held Liu Ruyi, the child of Mrs. Qi, another favorite concubine, on his lap many times, thinking that this son was like him, and repeatedly expressed his desire to abolish the crown prince.Born in this palace, either you oppress me or I oppress you.If Liu Ying is abolished, Lu Zhi really doesn't know how many days she and her child will have a good life!

Zhang Liang knew that Lu Zhi wanted something from him, and he also wanted something from Lu Zhi.But he was used to scheming and always calm, so he didn't show his thoughts very much, so he held Lu Zhi in a few words and made an exchange with her.

Today, when he went to personally conquer Chen Xi, before he left, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed his desire to get rid of Han Xin.Lu Zhi got the wind, and immediately sent a messenger to inform Zhang Liang.Zhang Liang knew Han Xin's temper well, so he didn't reveal it to him at all, and directly performed a play of "cutting bells, drums and long music" with Lu Zhi.Han Xin who was knocked down was secretly knocked out, his face covered with blood.Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone in Changle Palace, and most importantly under Xiao He's eyes, Lu Zhi's cronies dragged him down, clearly saying that he would solve it on the spot, but in the end he was replaced by someone who was similar in stature and appearance to Huaiyinhou. He died for him with blood all over his face.

Lu Zhi has completed what he asked, so it is natural for him to repay the other party now.

Zhang Liang and Lu Ze sat down on the chairs.The mansion had been cleaned in a hurry before, and the room could be considered clean, but the time was really tight, and there was not even a piece of water on the table.

Zhang Liang thought that the other party probably didn't need these vain gifts, so he went straight to the point and said to him: "It's hard to argue with words about what the queen wants. If you want Jin Shang to give up the idea of ​​deposing the prince, you have to let Jin Shang give up the idea of ​​abolishing the crown prince." The emperor thinks that the crown prince is already full-fledged and unshakable. I heard that the emperor cannot invite sages who come here. There are four in the world. These four people are already old, and they all think that the emperor is arrogant to others, so I escaped and hid in the mountains, and refused to be my courtiers according to moral principles. But I respect these four people very much. If Queen Tong Jiancheng can lower his status, I sincerely ask these four people to come out of the mountain, and when they come, treat them as As distinguished guests, let them often follow the prince into the court, let Jinshang see them, then Jinshang should be able to change his mind."

three.

After sending Lu Ze away, Zhang Liang stayed by Han Xin's bed for the past few days.

These days Han Xin is always awake and not awake, even if he is awake, he is talking nonsense.Zhang Liang patiently fed him medicine and food, and sometimes helped him wipe and turn over. Every night before going to bed, he would watch him for a long time by the bedside.

Zhang Liang woke up unexpectedly early that day, and the sky outside the window was just dawning.After washing, I opened the door and went out. There should have been a light rain last night, and the air in the morning was moist and fresh, mixed with a little earthy smell.

In the past few days, Han Xin's illness has been weighing on his heart, and he has always been a little heavy.Walking around the yard now, I feel inexplicably more cheerful.Zhang Liang thought that nothing happened anyway, why not go to Han Xin's room to see, maybe he no longer has a low fever today.

When Zhang Liang pushed the door and went in, his heart beat faster for some reason.He looked at the curtain, and saw shadows inside, as if there was no difference from usual.Thinking of this, Zhang Liang walked over, and was about to quietly lift a corner, when his hand suddenly stopped.

A hand caught his.

Zhang Liang suddenly wanted to cry.

Han Xin raised the curtain and saw Zhang Liangmei seemed to have tears on his face. He forgot that he was wounded and got busy trying to coax him.

On the contrary, Zhang Liang chuckled, sat down beside him, and stared at him.

Han Xin looked a little embarrassed, so he asked, "Am I not dead?"

Zhang Liang briefly told Han Xin about his plan with Lv Zhi. At the end, he paused and asked tentatively, "Are you mad at me for not telling you in advance?"

Han Xin held the white fingers in his hand, brought them to his lips, kissed them lightly, and said, "I should feel guilty for making you worry so much."

Zhang Liang smiled in the morning light of the rising sun, and Han Xin lost his mind when he saw it: "It's okay, anyway, the future will be long, and it won't be too late for you to make up for me."

The sky outside the window is high and crisp, and the yellowing leaves are thickly spread on the ground.The blue sky, white clouds, yellow leaves, clear water, and the people busy harvesting in the fields, it is an interesting painting at a glance.

The two people in the room looked at each other and smiled, holding each other's hands cherishingly.

Anyway, it's a long time coming.
