wait for another year

On November [-]th, Deng Xiang, who had only been emperor for half a year, died under the knife of an unknown soldier. It is said that before he died, he was still struggling to get up with his sword, and finally died standing up.

When hearing the news, Xuanyuan Hui had no joy on his face, and said coldly: "I only hate that Bandit Deng is not lost in my hands."

On that day, all the city gates of Chang'an were closed, and the soldiers searched from house to house. Finally, Deng Chengfeng, who had lost his soul, was found in a brothel, and he was escorted to Xuanyuan's dark tent.

"Marquis Wuyang, King Zhao, and Prince, are you safe and sound?" Xuanyuan Hui sneered aloofly.

Deng Chengfeng seemed to have calmed down at this time, and even put on a somewhat arrogant demeanor, "Since it has fallen into the hands of Zhu Zi, why do you need to say more!"

Xuanyuan Hui curled his lips into a smile, "It's true that there is no need to say more, come and put this thief in death row, and wait until the auspicious day of the zodiac, and then show his head to the public and sacrifice my ancestors!"

Deng Chengfeng was a cowardly person, and he was flustered when he heard this, "Wait a minute, don't you want to know the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager, Princess Xiaohui and others?"

Xuanyuan Hui turned to look at him, and said with surprise on his face: "However, women and children, if they escape, they will escape. How can it be worth your life, King Zhao? What's more, there are no kings in the world, so where can they escape? I just didn't expect that King Zhao would be so incompetent in war, and be so shameless as a man!"

Regardless of Deng Chengfeng's reaction, Xuanyuan Hui ordered directly, "Why don't you take him down quickly and keep the disgusting people?"

The battle had subsided, and the noisy battlefield was silent for a moment. Xuanyuan Hui stood alone beside the scorched earth, with a confused expression on his face.

"My lord, except for more than a thousand soldiers, the rest of the soldiers have withdrawn from the city, and they have done nothing to the common people."

Xuanyuan Hui nodded, looking at the already mottled nine-fold palace not far away, he suddenly felt a little timid, "Imitate the story of the three chapters of the Han Emperor Gaozu, you have done a good job. Let the sons rest and rest today, and let the Huotou army make some good wine. dishes, we will count the number of people tomorrow.”

"Yes!"

"By the way, announce the good news to the princess, and then invite him into the city."

As soon as Zhao Xu entered the tent, he was staggered by the huge monster that rushed over.

"My lord, are you going to murder your husband?"

Xuanyuan Hui didn't speak, Zhao Xu glanced over, and sure enough, he caught a glimpse of the will and daily life notes on the case, as if they had been read many times.

"I don't want to enter the palace," Xuanyuan Hui said in a hoarse voice, "It seems that I can deceive myself and others by pretending that my father is still in the palace waiting for me to return... I don't have to worry about the big and small things in Jiuzhou Wanfang, I can be careless Don't hesitate to be my Prince Taiping..."

Zhao Xu let out a long sigh, and sat on the couch with his arms around him, "The spirit of the late emperor is in the sky. Seeing today's grand scene, he will definitely be happy for the prince. As for the matter of Prince Taiping, with all due respect, even if the late emperor is still alive, King Fen is still there too. With the late emperor's love for the lord and the lord's ambition of Kunpeng, the leisurely life of flying eagles and running dogs, drunken life and dreaming of death, the lord should not think about it, I am afraid you are just a life of worrying about hard work."

Xuanyuan Hui seemed to feel better in his heart, still lying on his shoulder, sullen, "I thought that once I entered the palace city, I would never hear a word of truth or see any sincerity, and suddenly felt that what the emperor did was meaningless." Interesting. Seeing Deng Xiang’s dead body today, do you know what I’m thinking? Will one day I be as self-willed and self-righteous as him, and in the end, everyone will betray their relatives, and the country will not be safe?”

"With me here, you won't." Zhao Xu rubbed the top of his hair.

Xuanyuan muffled: "When will you leave? At least wait until after my enthronement ceremony?"

Zhao Xu laughed, "That's natural, no matter what, I have to cheat the position of Empress Yuan, and then go wandering around the rivers and lakes with the imperial court's honor?"

"By the way," Xuanyuan Hui took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Xu, "The national teacher came here today to edit the letter, and said that the Khan would send envoys here. Since the end of Renzong's reign, Huihe has called me a courtier. Paying tribute will not be enough until the Deng Party takes power. Unfortunately, things have changed now, and even today I have to borrow more power from Huihe, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate to let others become a minister with a shy face."

Zhao Xu said silently: "The current situation is like this, there is nothing you can do, my lord. Let's say in a few years, when the national power of the Central Plains is prosperous, why don't you worry about foreign feudal vassals coming one after another? Can the national teacher say something else?"

Xuanyuan Hui put the letter back into his sleeve, and said casually: "But it's nothing important to ask about your health."

Thinking about it was a matter of fate, Zhao Xu knew it well and didn't point it out, only felt that Xuanyuan Hui was sometimes treacherous and sometimes cutely stupid, "What is the prince's plan tomorrow?"

"There are so many things, I can't explain them clearly at the moment. How about the princess help me share some?"

Zhao Xu thought for a while, "Forget it, the most important thing right now is the city defense and military affairs. After all, there are still some members of the Deng party who are still stubbornly resisting. It is better for the prince to cut off the troubles. The second is to clean up the government. No one can be promoted and come out, otherwise no one will even do the enthronement ceremony.”

"Originally, I have asked someone to check out the roster of the old officials of the Deng Party. Why don't you ask the concubine Wang and Master Shen to work hard."

"Dare not to follow orders." Zhao Xu responded with a smile.

Xuanyuan Hui bit his earlobe, and said in a low voice: "Look, you are about to abandon me, and you won't be able to see each other for a few months, can't you let me go tonight?"

"Let you?" Zhao Xu laughed, "I just want to ask one question, is it possible that the prince's world is handed over by others? Everyone depends on their ability."

Xuanyuan Hui sneered, "Today, the king will let you know what it means for a husband to guide his wife!"

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Xu put on his clothes and crouched at the desk to review the official documents, Xuanyuan was lying in the quilt with sweat, and played with Zhao Xu's jade pendant that was hanging around his waist with one hand, "Oh, I have a sore back and a sore back, I really can't work It’s in the copybook, and I ask the concubine to take pity on it... Yes, there are more than a dozen copies over there, and you also approved them for me."

Zhao Xu was so angry that he laughed out loud, "I used to worry that the prince was too upright and would be deceived by the officials in the future, but now it seems that it is really mediocre."

Xuanyuan Hui languidly smiled, "Where, the princess is the one who understands the essence of 36 tricks."

Zhao Xu paused for a moment and raised her eyebrows, "My 'walking is the best trick' is not as subtle as the prince's 'beauty trick'."

Smiling lightly, Xuanyuan Hui didn't speak any more, just stared blankly at Zhao Xu's pen.

Zhao Xu's heart felt sour when he saw him, and finally she put down her pen, returned to the couch, and embraced him in her arms.

The two embraced each other, and the cold night in the early winter seemed to be warmed by this love and the warmth afterwards.

Everyone knows that when the Golden Crow first ascends, the world will be turned upside down, and there will be many obstacles in the way ahead.

But no one has spoken the oath, and no oath is needed anymore.

When the love is deep, you don't want to give up, let alone give up.
