Haiyan

After finishing the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Daxie, when everything finally settled down, it was late autumn. During this period, Chang Sheng took Lao Huang and his group to Jiuyi Mountain to visit Wei Shuyou several times, and hurried back to In Zhongzhou, golden phoenix leaves had already covered Hanzhou City.

"Li Su is auspicious, Li Su is auspicious."

Chang Sheng was nestling on the soft couch in the Nuan Pavilion teasing Lao Huang's little bird. When he looked up, he saw Li Su just stepped down and walked in. A Cheng behind him was holding a large pile of books, and sat up hurriedly and asked: "What are those things you took?"

Ah Cheng put the things down on the table, turned around and smiled at Chang Sheng: "Young Master Sheng, let's ask our master."

Uncle Fu came in with a few palace servants and took off Li Su's court clothes. Chang Sheng walked over and flipped through a few times. There was a pile of densely packed words. At the first glance, he couldn't bear to read, "What are these?"

Li Su said: "I asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare the things and some etiquette for the big wedding. They are all there. I will read it to you when I read it later."

Chang Sheng was puzzled: "Great wedding, who is getting married?"

As soon as the words were finished, Uncle Fu and a few servants involuntarily looked at him. Chang Sheng was taken aback, and then glanced at Li Su. There was a 'thump' in my heart, and I realized what was going on.

At that time when Li Su said to him, "Let's get married", Chang Sheng only thought that he said it casually. After all, two big men, no matter what happened in private, he didn't care, but once this matter came to the fore, It's another matter. Li Su is now the king of Zhongzhou, in charge of all the rights west of the strait. If the lord gets married, he must announce it to the world. He only stabilized the power of Zhongzhou more than a year ago. Not long ago, the court There are still quite a few ambitious old ministers waiting to catch him. Originally, the obscure relationship between the two of them was often brought up by those so-called scribes for chatting at the beginning. Sheng became the target of attack and spread a lot of nasty gossip. Chang Sheng naturally didn't care about these things. Although Li Su didn't say anything, he didn't hear those nasty words after a few days. The gang of gossiping scribes all disappeared inexplicably. Chang Sheng knew that Li Su must have solved this matter in private, so he didn't bother to ask, he just felt that those people deserved it.

But the monarch is married, and the queen is actually a man. If this matter gets out, it will definitely become a black spot that King Dingxi will never erase in his life. At least Chang Sheng thinks so. It is impossible for Li Su to marry a woman. He is not afraid of being criticized by others, but if in the future, or even a hundred years later, the subjects of Zhongzhou use this matter to poke Li Su's back, Chang Sheng will never allow it.

"Ah!" Chang Sheng sighed, and when Uncle Fu's gang retreated, he sat down beside Li Su. He pressed down the pages he had turned up.

Li Su looked at him: "?"

Chang Sheng asked: "Are you serious?"

Li Su narrowed his eyes: "Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Chang Sheng said seriously: "I don't think it's necessary."

Li Su raised his eyebrows: "Could it be possible that you still want Hong Xing to have sex with you in the future?"

Chang Sheng kicked him lightly, and said: "What nonsense, I just think it's good for us now, I don't want to make some messy things."

Li Su was a little annoyed and said, "Do you think marrying this king is a mess?"

Chang Sheng quickly explained: "No, I just think so, the two of us, big men, don't we?" He said with a little embarrassment: "I'm not jealous of worldly views, but I'm afraid that you will be criticized by others in the future. Don't you think so?"

Li Su snorted coldly: "In Zhongzhou, who else would dare to criticize me except you?"

Chang Sheng shook his head and said: "Actually, according to the logic, you should marry a young lady from a noble family to be your queen, and then in order to win over the ministers, you should also recruit many concubines to fill your harem. You can choose the most desirable son among them to be the crown prince, and he will inherit your throne in the future. This is the life an emperor should have, but there will definitely be no such things now, but in the end, it is all because of me Because, no matter what you and I do in private, they dare not say anything now anyway, but once this matter is made known to the world, it will be obvious that your throne will not be able to continue in the next few decades, and those gangs have two hearts The elders have to press every step of the way, even if they can't make any big waves, they will shake the situation after all, why should we make these troubles for ourselves, what do you think?"

Li Su looked at him expressionlessly, and asked, "In the end, it's because you don't want to, is it?"

Chang Sheng hurriedly said: "No way, why would I not want to!"

Li Su: "Then why are you worried so much?"

Chang Sheng worried: "It's not for your sake."

As he spoke, he leaned towards Li Su, then stretched out his arms to hug him, and said, "Actually, I don't care about form at all. As long as we are both by each other's side, that's enough. Besides, I A big man, if people mention my name, they will say that it is the 'Prince Concubine' of King Dingxi, I don't want such a girly title."

Li Su was amused by him, and asked, "Then what do you want to be called by others?"

Chang Sheng said bluntly: "Whatever you do, you have to call 'Ms. Wang'! But it seems that I have climbed on top of you. There is no reason for people to think that King Dingxi is afraid of guilt!"

Li Su said: "You are the concubine of this king, why are you ashamed?"

Chang Sheng said with disgust: "I don't want to be your princess, let alone your wife, I'm a man!"

Li Su smiled and said: "Oh, yes, but I think you enjoy the treatment of your wife every night."

Chang Sheng: "..."

He pushed Li Su away and said sharply, "There's nothing to say, right?"

Li Su held his hand and said gently: "I know what you think in your heart. If you really don't want to, I won't force you. Changsheng, I want to marry you. I don't care what others think. I just don't want to be wronged. you."

Chang Sheng said: "No grievances, what's wrong with you? I'm the younger brother of Emperor Taishi, who dares to get angry with me?"

Li Su knocked on his forehead, but finally said nothing.

The matter of getting married was overturned 'for the time being', at least Li Su didn't mention it again for a long time.

It will soon enter mid-December, and the winter in Zhongzhou does not seem to be very cold. Many flowers have not bloomed, and golden phoenix trees are everywhere. Early this morning, Chang Sheng brought Zhong Bo Lao Huang and that little bird went to Hanzhou City to buy things. In fact, there were everything in the palace, but few people were willing to ask for it. First, the things that Li Su rewarded were too expensive for them to use. Second, After all, I have to leave completely, and I may not have a chance to come to Zhongzhou again in the future, so I went to Hanzhou City for a stroll before leaving, and there is nothing to miss in the future.

At the beginning of May, after Lao Huang took Wei Qing and Zhong Bo off from Jiuyi Mountain to send Wei Shuyou off, he went to the Eastern Han Dynasty to find Chang Sheng. Chang Sheng killed Liu Fei, and Lao Huang and the others took Liu Fei's head to Wei Shuyou apologized to him in front of the grave, and later Changsheng wanted to bring the Guangming Army back to Zhongzhou with Li Su, and several of them followed, and they stayed until now, finally preparing to leave.

"I can't stay for a few more months. Isn't it the same to go back to Jiuyi Mountain after the New Year?" On the way, Chang Sheng's face was not very happy. Zhong Bo, Lao Huang and the others all watched Chang Sheng grow up. , in Changsheng's heart, they are his relatives just like the old prince and Wei Shuyou.

Lao Huang is in his seventies this year, probably because he has practiced martial arts all the year round, but he looks much younger than Zhong Bo, who just passed sixty. He twitched his white beard and said, "Come on, when will you go back? Going back, you have to go sooner or later, it’s better to go early, go back in time for the New Year, and spend the New Year with that kid Shuyou.”

Zhong Bo smiled and said: "Master Yu, you stay in Zhongzhou, we all see that King Dingxi treats you well, no matter what time you are, there is always someone by your side, but the prince, if we don't go , there is no one around him, and Jiang Xing and Guan Chong's gang of children can't always let them go there often. After all, they are still young and have a lot of things to do. Following King Dingxi, they will be the ones who will be enshrined in the future. The lord would not want to see them delaying his future because of him, Wei Qing alone, he didn't want to stay in Zhongzhou, he had to go to Jiuyi Mountain to accompany the lord, there was no other way, but there could be no more Otherwise, if Wang Yequan knows, he will not live in peace."

Chang Sheng closed his eyes before saying: "It's because I didn't think well."

Lao Huang smiled, stretched out his hand to hug Chang Sheng's neck, and said loudly: "Okay, you little donkey, don't think about it, come to Jiuyi Mountain to see us if you have time, isn't your elder brother Yin Kang now?" Did you go back to Jiuyi Mountain? He has a very good relationship with that kid Shuyou, if the two of us are gone in the future, we will leave the job of accompanying Wei Shuyou to Yin Kang, you just go and play more."

Chang Sheng couldn't stand his realistic pathos. He was afraid that if Lao Huang continued to speak, he would cry out for nothing. This place was on the street, and he didn't want to lose face in the crowd.

At noon the next day, Lao Huang, Zhong Bo and Wei Qing set off to set off. Chang Sheng brought several lieutenants of the Guangming Army to see them off. Before leaving, Lao Huang specially left the cheap bird for Chang Sheng, saying: "Master Huang has nothing valuable in his life, just a big knife and this bird. The big knife has been with me for five or sixty years, and you can't lift it even if I give it to you. This bird is okay, and it's not too cheap. Follow me I have been here for many years, we may not know when we will meet again in the future, I will leave it to you, remember to think about me if you have nothing to do."

Chang Sheng nodded, and brought the cheap bird over with the cage.

Old Huang sighed, and said in a deep voice: "It's been fifteen or sixteen years in a flash, how fast, I remember when the old prince brought you here to see me, you were only so old." Comparing the height of my waist, I sighed: "Time is really not a fun thing. If Shuyou is still there, I must see you at this moment... Hey, don't talk, little donkey, Remember to write to you often, Mr. Huang, remember!"

Chang Sheng reached out and hugged him tightly, and said, "Don't worry, I will visit you often."

Lao Huang said: "Although the old prince taught you the first time you learned the knife, in the final analysis, it was me who really made you learn it. Although the days will be peaceful in the future, don't forget me." Teach you those things, I may come to try you at any time, if you don't make progress by then, be careful I will come and beat you!"

Chang Sheng rubbed his nose and laughed.

"Okay, let's go, you go back, don't send it off." Several people got on their horses, and Lao Huang waved at him.

Chang Sheng raised his head and said, "I went to Jiuyi Mountain and told my elder brother that I miss him and will visit him often."

Old Huang said: "Understood, as long as you have the heart, it doesn't matter if you come or not."

Chang Sheng turned his head and said to the person on the other side: "Uncle Zhong, take care, the weather in Jiuyi Mountain is humid, remember to wear more pants when it rains, be careful of your legs, don't catch cold again, Wei Qing , take care of the two of them for me, and I will definitely visit you again."

Several lieutenants who followed behind stepped forward to say goodbye, and after a while, a few riders rolled away with sycamore leaves.

At this time, Jiuyi Mountain should have been covered with heavy snow like Donglu, but Changsheng felt that Zhongzhou seemed to have stopped in late autumn forever, just like those memories and longings that would never fade away.

He turned around and walked slowly step by step towards the palace gate behind him. Not long after, he saw a person wearing a blue long gown at the end not far away, standing there quietly staring at him, Chang Sheng looked at him With a smile, Li Su waved and said, "Come here."
