"Do you think I can wear this?" In front of the bronze mirror in the side hall of Changsheng Palace, Changsheng walked back and forth like an ant on a hot pot for dozens of times, and Li Su was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch Holding a white piece in his hand, he was very happy to play chess with himself, and said without raising his head, "Yes, everything is fine."

Chang Sheng was wearing a bright aqua-blue gown, embroidered with a large number of dark patterns of auspicious clouds, and the half-fist-sized white jade on the jade belt around his waist looked like a nouveau riche's attire. In addition, in order to cater to the atmosphere, he would not The less colorful pendants were hung on both sides of the jade belt. After looking at the front of the mirror for a long time, I always felt that there was something dissatisfied, but I just didn't know what it was.

"Do you want me to hang the string of golden bells that Yin Kang sent from Donglu a few days ago? When I was a child, Changshengtian said that this thing can help me ward off evil spirits... hey, don't put it down. Chess game, look at me!"

Li Su finally raised his head from the chessboard, almost startled.

"...Changsheng, we're just going to congratulate the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. You don't want to be enthroned yourself, so you don't have to dress like this." Li Su tried his best to restrain the twitching corners of his mouth, and persuaded him gently.

Chang Sheng looked at himself in the mirror several times suspiciously, frowned and said, "Really? But I think this is the only time in Yin Ping's life for such an important day, so I can't be too shabby, right?" ?”

Li Su raised his forehead and said, "Actually, you don't need to hang so many colorful things on your body. Is your waist heavy?"

Chang Sheng sighed: "Hey, I just said that I always feel that something is weird." He said, took off all the ten strings of jade pendants on the jade belt, and said with a smile: "This is actually much better. ,Yes or no?"

Li Su walked over and stood beside him. He was dressed in a light blue gown and his black hair was tied up high. Compared with Chang Sheng's roe deer-like attire, he looked much more expensive, and said, "We're here It will take a month for Donglu, it's too early for you to worry about what to wear at the enthronement ceremony now."

Chang Sheng stared and said, "Is it early? Isn't it early? Yin Kang has already started preparing for the enthronement ceremony two months ago. A few days ago, he was worried about Zhao Yuqing's hair not growing. I lost face to Yin Ping, so I specifically asked Miracle Doctor Xue for a quick way to grow hair, but unfortunately it didn't work, Yin Kang didn't plan to let Zhao Yuqing show up on the day of the enthronement ceremony."

The corners of Li Su's eyes twitched twice: "...well, you brothers really...have deep feelings."

Chang Sheng smiled and said, "By the way, are all the congratulatory gifts ready?"

Li Suduo didn't want to look at him, turned around to drink tea, and said, "You have asked this question no less than a hundred times. Didn't you just check No.17 a few days ago?"

Chang Sheng ouched, and couldn't hold back the smile on the corner of his mouth: "Aren't I afraid that something might go wrong on the way? I have been in Zhongzhou for more than three months, and I always feel as if I just came here yesterday."

Li Su raised his eyebrows and said, "That's because the time with me always passes quickly."

Chang Sheng nodded: "That's true."

The palace servants suddenly walked to the door, bowed and reported: "My lord, General Liang is here to ask for an audience."

Li Su waved his hand: "Let him in."

Chang Sheng walked away from the mirror very consciously, and sat down on the chair at the side in an orderly manner. Li Su glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help laughing, thinking: It's quite like pretending.

Liang Xiao: "My lord, all the congratulatory gifts have been loaded into the car, and the personnel and horses are also ready. When are we going to leave?"

Li Su turned his head to look at Chang Sheng, and saw that he was drinking tea from a cup while deaf to his ears, with an attitude of 'don't ask me', and said to Liang Xiao, "I will order Ruan Qiusong to enter the palace in a while. just go."

Liang Xiao asked: "My lord, there are less than 80 generals, soldiers and servants accompanying us this time, and nearly [-] people will be needed just to guard the congratulatory gifts. Do we need to send more people?"

Li Su pondered for a while, then looked at Chang Sheng, and found that the latter was still drinking tea, and said, "No need, just follow the rules set by the Ministry of Rites at the beginning."

Liang Xiao: "Yes, that minister will retire now."

Li Su remembered something and stopped him: "Wait a minute."

Liang Xiao stopped to wait for orders.

Li Su twisted his cuffs with his hands, and said calmly: "I heard that you sold your house a few days ago?"

Liang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, his black face flushed immediately, and he said hesitantly, "How can the king know about such trivial matters?"

Li Su asked: "Is it possible that the salary this king gave you is not enough for you to spend?"

Liang Xiao was startled, and quickly knelt down and said: "The king has saved my life, and the salary is so much that I can't spend it all, minister, minister..."

"Then what house are you selling so well? I heard that you gave all the money to your little servant?" Chang Sheng interrupted him suddenly, Liang Xiao suddenly raised his head, and found that Chang Sheng was watching with a smile on his face. His face, which was already a little red, was even more messed up.

"I, I'm not, and I'm not giving flowers to her." Liang Xiao was so nervous that he was almost speechless.

Chang Sheng said with deep meaning: "Yo yo yo, a little slave is willing to let our general sell the whole house for him, what kind of relationship is it, General Liang, then you are not without it now Is there a place to live?"

Liang Xiao scratched his head and stammered: "Yes, yes, I usually live in the barracks, but now, I still live in the barracks."

Chang Sheng: "Does your little slave live in the barracks with you?"

Liang Xiao hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, she lives in the night court."

Li Su said inexplicably: "If my king remembers correctly, isn't the night court where the maids live?"

Liang Xiao was shocked, an expression as if he had said something terrible flashed across his face, and said: "Ah, yes, ah, I don't know, maybe, maybe I remembered it wrong, she Do not live in the night court."

Chang Sheng laughed and said, "Why is General Liang so nervous? We don't care where he lives? We just wonder why you want to sell the house?"

Liang Xiao held back for a long time, finally sighed and didn't speak.

Li Su said: "What? Is there something unspeakable?"

Liang Xiao: "Reporting to the king, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that it's about Ah Lu's reputation at this time. I really..."

Chang Sheng felt that his expression was very interesting, and wanted to hold on to him and tease him a few more words, but Li Su's gaze forced him to hold back.

Li Su said: "Understood, I just don't ask."

Liang Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "The minister, I'm leaving."

Li Su: "Wait a minute."

Liang Xiao tensed up again.

Li Su smiled softly: "You are a general, you can't always live in the barracks of the Queen's Court, and the house will be sold as soon as it is sold. If you don't have money to buy a new one, let the people from the household department allocate a few places later. , you pick one, it will be considered as a gift from the king.”

Liang Xiao instinctively wanted to refuse, Li Su waved his hand and said, "Go down, get ready, we will leave for Donglu in the near future."

When Liang Xiao stepped back, Chang Sheng finally couldn't help laughing, and said, "You know why he wants to sell the house, but you still want to see him make jokes, what are you doing!"

Li Su raised his eyebrows and said, "He insists on posting it himself, why don't people know about it?"

Chang Sheng said: "In the family of the little servant named Ah Lu, his elder brother is a gambler, his father is an alcoholic, and his mother still relies on his little money for medical treatment every month. , Liang Xiao sold the house to his father and brother to pay off the debts, this is not enough, but also to help him support his bedridden mother, do you think he is stupid?"

Li Su suddenly asked: "If I were that Ah Lu, would you treat me like Liang Xiao?"

Chang Sheng stared and said, "What kind of metaphor is this?"

Li Su got up and walked to sit next to him, and said perseveringly, "Tell me, will you?"

Chang Sheng thought for a while and said seriously, "No."

Li Su smiled and said: "Well, that's right, if you really love someone, how can you be willing to hurt him."

Chang Sheng sighed: "I mean, I will do more than Liang Xiao, because I have more than him."

Li Su paused and became interested: "Then what are you going to do?"

Chang Sheng said: "I don't know, I won't take care of a gambler brother and alcoholic father, at most I will pay off their debts for them, and advise them to take care of themselves in the future, and then I will give you everything I have and let you It's better, you know? It's everything." Chang Sheng repeated.

Li Su looked at him deeply, and after a while, suddenly said in a low voice: "Well, give me everything, including your own."

Chang Sheng was pulled into his arms by him, and struggled quickly: "It's in broad daylight!"

"Shh, no one dares to come in."

One and a half months later, King Dingxi's team came to Donglu. It was late summer and early autumn, but the weather was still unbearably hot. Mouth full of blisters.

More than four months ago, Yin Ping, the king of the Northern Territory, pushed the army of the Northern Territory into the king's domain. So far, he has held the largest part of the royal power in the Eastern Land. Later, after King Dingxi's Golden Armored Army withdrew from the Eastern Land, he handed over the Eastern Han Dynasty to Yin Ping. , and the Guangming Army of King Guangming went to Zhongzhou with Changsheng. The Eastern and Western Han Dynasty in those days have now been divided into one place, and the King of the Northern Territory is in charge of both.

Baihuang Calendar Eight | On September 27th, [-], Yin Ping, the king of the northern border, ascended the throne, merged the eastern and western Han, and shook hands with three-quarters of the eastern land. On the day of ascension to the throne, Qingjun, the most powerful ruler of Southern Chu, was appointed as the queen, and she was named "Yiyuan". She married the new queen with all the glory of the country. Chu, Northern Chu, and Dingxi Wang Yitong thanked, and listed Beilu as the spiritual seat of the great monarch in the past and moved it to Daxie.

When the young emperor stepped on the sky-reaching white marble steps to the top, Kyushu was settled, thousands of people surrendered, until the mellow bell stopped, and a more powerful voice sounded from above people's heads——

"Where the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, are all the land of Daxie!"

Thousands of salutes resounded through the sky, dazzling the mountains and rivers of Kyushu. In the crowd, Li Su suddenly stretched out his hand from under his sleeve to hold the Changsheng tightly, and said softly, "Let's get married."
