night snow full of clear branches

"The way of heaven is to make up for what is too much damage... It is the great governance of the country, and it is natural to follow the way of heaven. Today, everyone will talk about what is the way of governing the country." After reading a bunch of sentences that I don't know what they are, Looking at the princes and princesses present here.

"Second prince, let me tell you about the results of reading these few days first." The second prince Xunyang touched his chin and said, "Xunyang only understands the way of doing business, but he really doesn't know the way of governing the country."

This second prince has always liked to learn some miscellaneous subjects, and he understands the last three of scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce. In the words of the Taifu, he "doesn't go on the road".

The Taifu looked around again, and everyone was at a loss.A few days ago, he asked me to go back and look through the classics to think about what is the real way of governing the country, but after looking at it today, no one seems to be able to answer.

In the silence, Princess Zhaoyun stood up, and I knew that she would win the house again.

"The way to govern a country is to first enrich the people. Rich people are easy to govern, but poor people are difficult to govern.... Therefore, governing a country is always rich, and disordering a country is always poor. Those who run a country with kindness must first enrich the people and then govern it . " After she finished her long speech, I saw a light in Taifu's eyes that I had never seen before, as if a god or Buddha was alive.

The performance of Princess Zhaoyun Liang Weixue was later recorded in the annals of the Xuan Kingdom, but it was gradually blurred in my memory. I only remember that she was very pleasing to the eye. her.

It was only later that I realized what the Tai Tuo's gaze meant, because a person like her was bound to climb to the high platform of the ancestral temple.

Years later, the second prince, Xunyang, was granted the title of King Gong. His Majesty kindly granted him a fief not far from the capital. He will leave the palace on another day. Si Yong and I made an appointment to go together at that time, to visit his fief .

Si Yong, Wei Xue and others were all there when I sent Xunyang away from the palace that day.

"Xunyang, no, you should be called Prince Gong. You are fine, you can leave the palace now." I looked at him enviously.

"You're going to get married in the future, so you can leave." These days without tokens, thanks to him taking me out, now that he's leaving, it's reasonable for me to be reluctant.

"Marry?" I never thought that I would be even more unfree.

"Yes, to marry. Of course, if you are in a hurry to leave the palace, I don't mind asking my father to marry you now." Xunyang looked embarrassed.

I rolled my eyes at him, "Don't bother the prince."

Wei Xue also gave advice to Xunyang, "Brother Huang, anyone you marry is better than marrying her, they will only make trouble."

I don't agree with this statement, what does it mean to only make trouble, I grinned at Weixue out of dissatisfaction, she just looked at me with a smile, I couldn't figure it out.

Xunyang's fiefdom is Fu, thirty miles away from the capital, and Si Yong and I followed with a court lady.

Before leaving, Concubine Min repeatedly told me to be vigilant and protect Si Yong. I noticed that she was depressed recently, and when I asked what happened, she shook her head and only sighed "retribution".

"Do you know what happened to Concubine Min?" I asked Si Yong when I got on the carriage, thinking that as a daughter, she should know better than me.

Si Yong also shook her head, "I don't know, but she always goes to the empress's place recently, and every time she comes back, she is in a bad mood."

What a child who doesn't care about his mother, I thought.

The carriage stopped as soon as it left the capital, and when I lifted the curtain, I saw Wei Xue and Wei Yu coming on horseback riding the wind, and I wondered what she was doing here?

"Brother Huang, I happen to have something to do in Yidi, why don't we go together." As I said that, I looked towards the carriage, and I immediately put down the curtain.

It's such a coincidence that something will happen, I don't quite believe it.

Originally, I had hoped to ride a horse for a while, but because I didn't want to see Wei Xue at all, I stayed in the carriage for a long time.

Xun Yang has a good memory, so he asked me loudly outside, "Didn't you say you don't want to ride a carriage, you want to ride a horse? Why haven't you come out yet? It's almost time to die."

"Qingzhi probably doesn't want to ride now, so you can let her go." Wei Xue said again, you really understand me, I just don't want to ride at all now.

The wetland in early spring is a good place, the soft grass is flat and the sand is fresh after the rain, and the light sand is clean on the road. Si Yong said that if you want to find a place to retire in the future, this place is very suitable.

But I don't understand how old I am thinking about retirement.

"I heard from Brother Huang that there is a hot spring on Mount Yun, why don't we go and see it?" Si Yong wanted to go out for a walk after arriving at Prince Gong's Mansion for only half an hour.

"Okay!" It's not that I haven't soaked in hot springs before, it's just that my young mind feels fresh wherever I leave home.

Usually I was the one who yelled about where to go and where to play, but today it was Si Yong who opened the mouth first. She later told me that it was because she found out that I was not in a good mood, so she wanted to take me out for a walk.

What a considerate girl, compared to her, Wei Xue is not a person at all.

The hot springs of Yanshan Mountain are on the top of the mountain, but halfway through the climb, Si Yong shouted out of breath and asked me to go up alone. Xunyang sent someone to follow, so I let her go back without worry, and continued to climb to the top alone.

One of the great advantages of practicing martial arts is that you won't get tired easily like Si Yong, and it's easy for me to get to the top of the mountain.

But what happened later made me never want to go up this mountain again.

The mountains and rivers are filled with mist, and the dark green moss hangs between the branches and jungles. After taking a deep breath, I feel refreshed. This place feels a bit like Penglai Wonderland. Although I have never been to Penglai Wonderland, I also have this image.

The hot spring that Si Yong mentioned was right next to my feet, and it was still steaming. I unconsciously put my hand into the water, and a hot current hit me, making my whole body feel comfortable.

The hot spring lake is quite big. From a distance, the surface of the lake is covered with fog, which blocks the view and cannot see the other side. At this time, a dark red gradually spread in the fog.

Why did the lake water turn dark red?I was wondering, but I saw a person floating in the mist, and I immediately thought, what kind of lake is there, it is blood at all.

Who did it?I froze in place when I heard light footsteps in the woods behind me.

"Qing Zhi, why are you here?" It was Wei Xue's voice.

"I just want to come to play." She looked at me coldly, as if many silver needles were being shot.

"Oh—" she dragged on the word for a long time, which sounded weird to me.

As she spoke, she stood beside me, looked at the dead man floating over from the lake, and asked, "How long have you been up here?"

"Just came."

"Then go back quickly."

I felt my scalp tightening a little. Seeing the corpse on the lake so calmly that it made me suspicious, she said without thinking, "You didn't kill that person, did you?"

Wei Xue laughed again after hearing this, the more she laughed, the colder she became, "What do you think?"

"I... don't know." Forget it, I'd better get out of here quickly. After I finished speaking, I quickly turned around and raised my feet. There seemed to be more than one footsteps on the mountain road.

Weixue suddenly said "no", and grabbed my hand and poured it into the lake.She didn't forget to cover my mouth and nose when she pushed my head into the water.

When the group of masked men on the shore arrived, we had already hid under the corpse on the lake.

Through the misty lake surface, I could vaguely see five or six people standing on the shore, all masked and dressed like killers.

If I'm not mistaken, that group of people should be the same as the dead man on the lake.

When I wasn't paying attention, Wei Xue raised her right hand lightly, and in an instant, people on the bank fell to the ground one after another. Only then did I realize that Wei Xue's weapon was a poisonous needle, and they were all hidden in their sleeves.

"Wow!" Before I suffocated, I was finally able to emerge from the water and take a big breath of fresh air. Wei Xue was no better than me.

After calming down, Wei Xue said: "Those people were sent by the empress to kill me. I thought there were only two of them, but I underestimated them. There were so many of them just now. With the strength of the two of us, we can kill me." It's a formidable enemy." That's why he dived underwater and waited for the opportunity to move.

"Why did the queen kill you?"

Wei Xue gave me a deep look, but didn't answer.

After landing, the wet clothes were tightly attached to her body, which made her uncomfortable. In a blink of an eye, I saw that Wei Xue was also dripping water, and the wet clothes wrapped around her body, highlighting her beautiful curves.

The black hair also stuck to the cheeks and neck due to the soaking water, forming a beautiful line. At this time, I temporarily forgot that there were a group of dead people under our feet.

"Let's go back first, don't come here for the time being." In a few days, someone here will report the case, and the government will come to collect the corpse, but the case will always be an unsolved case.

On the way back, in order not to attract attention, we chose a small path. On the way, Weixue said that no one should know what happened today.

Perhaps seeing my worry, Wei Xue said again: "Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, don't say or do anything, I won't make things difficult for you."

"What if one day I accidentally say something wrong?" I believe I can do this kind of thing.

"You reminded me, why not." She stopped and looked at me, then raised her right hand again.

I rushed over and grabbed her arm, "My lord princess, just rest assured, I will never say anything about it."

Seeing that I was so greedy for life and afraid of death, she smiled knowingly, and the smile was different from usual, and I couldn't tell what was different.

Standing at the back door of Prince Gong's Mansion, she reached out and patted my head, "Here, go to my room to change and take a shower. If Si Yong sees you like this, he should ask questions."

I nodded, and suddenly realized that I was being patted on the head by her, like a dog in the water being pitied by the owner.

Wei Yu ordered people to boil hot water for Wei Xue and me, and soaked in the hot water, recalling the scene that happened today, wondering what kind of life Wei Xue had lived before, so she would kill someone without hesitation.

Look at my hands again, as a martial arts practitioner, they are clean and strong, but they have never been stained with blood. From this point of view, she and I are completely different types of people.

"This is my clothes, you can wear this set first." Wei Xue took the clothes and walked inside the screen.

At this time, she had already changed into clean clothes, only her hair was still wet on her shoulders.
