The last Chiyou

Chapter 12 Prince

As the commander of the army, Li Chun was naturally very busy as the commander, while Feng Ji came and left alone. From the beginning to the end, the only people in the army who knew that he had been here were probably only a few people around Li Chun.The place where the army was stationed was in a valley, it was September, and the morning in the southwestern mountains was already a bit chilly. Fengji was alone, wrapped in a robe and hooded, riding a big green horse that was not eye-catching, and walked slowly through the valley. Walked out, but was stopped by a person at the entrance of the valley.

Tall, with a thin face, black close-fitting clothes, covered with chain mail, riding a tall black Dawan horse, with a fierce momentum, the whole person is like a knife out of its sheath.

Feng Ji sighed, pushed the hood with the hard handle of the horsewhip, looked up at Gu Twelve Lang who was blocking the way, and asked, "What is this for?"

Gu Twelve Lang obviously suppressed his anger, and said, "I should ask you this question."

Feng Ji smiled slightly and said, "You don't know what I did."

Gu Twelve Lang said angrily: "Of course I know what you did, but why did you do that! King Guangping has thousands of good things. If you do what you do now, a well-behaved court official will not be able to do it, and you will be expelled from the clan." , my father has spent years painstakingly nurturing you and put all his hard work into water, but he is still willing to be a lowly businessman. From now on, I am afraid that he will never be able to enter the temple again, and your talents in governing the world will be buried forever. Is it worth it?"

Fengji was silent for a moment, then said indifferently: "It's just a body."

Gu Twelve Lang was furious at Feng Ji's cold answer, he reached out to touch the knife at his waist, his fingers touched the shark skin sheath, but the familiar touch suddenly made him calm down again, he took a deep breath In a low tone, he said again: "Ziyu, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, tell the truth, are you and King Guangping planning to seize the throne?"

Feng Ji didn't move, but said calmly: "If you seize the heir, can I understand it like this? Twelve Lang, your heart has changed."

A gust of cold wind blew past, and countless sand and dust were blown up. The rough sand hit Gu Twelve Lang's face and body, rustling. Great talent, those rumors are all wrong. He is much better than today."

Feng Ji lowered his head and stroked the reins in his hand, but didn't speak.

Gu Twelve Lang suddenly said loudly: "Don't ask me, you really want to win the heir with King Guangping, why don't you just assist him, but do this deceitful way?"

Fengji raised his head very slowly, his eyes were cold, he looked directly at Gu Twelve Lang, and said, "Did you ask this question, or King Guangping?"

Gu Twelve Lang was stunned immediately, and couldn't help but look away.

Feng Ji smiled slightly, and said: "The mouth of the valley where the army is stationed is so important, but there are no soldiers guarding it; the seizure of the throne is such a big matter, but you don't worry about the ears behind the wall; only the King of Guangping knows my whereabouts, and you are careless. But the calculation is so precise. Twelve Lang, who said that you are not from the King of Guangping, and that you were not sent by him this time, who would believe it? Since you are asking for His Highness, I naturally have something to answer him, but it is not now." He paused After a pause, he stretched out his hand to straighten his hood, as if he could not withstand the wind and sand, but covered his eyes, "Twelve Lang, no matter what, please, please save the lives of Wang Xiping and Lu Xiaolang."

After finishing speaking, he swung his whip and rode his horse, bypassed Gu Twelve Lang who was standing there dumbfounded, and walked away.

That sentence was not said after all.

Once it has started, there is no turning back. How much flesh and blood will be trampled on this road, I can't care about it. What I can look forward to is only the heart.

In a blink of an eye, more than a year passed, and with the support of Fengji's water-splashing money, King Guangping married eunuchs inside and Fufan Town outside, and there was a faint tendency to fight against Xiang Gu in the court.The most pleasing thing for the saint is that Li Chun is filial to the emperor and respects the saint everywhere. He is infinitely cuter than Gu Xiang, who overwhelms the emperor. As long as everything is handed over to this son, the saint will sit back and relax. I don’t know how strong he is, and the saint has not taken care of himself these past few years, his spirit has become worse and worse, and he is impatient with the disturbances of state affairs, so he insists on going his own way regardless of the opposition of the ministers in the court. As the prince, he is in the East Palace and supervises the country.

The crown prince supervised the country for more than a month, and the sage had a stroke again while drinking a banquet. The medicine, stone and gold needle were ineffective for a while, and died in Xingqing Palace. Li Chun was the emperor. Mausoleum.

Shun, virtuous and gentle, said Shun, the former emperor had a spirit in heaven, I don't know how he would feel.

After Li Chun came to the throne, his tactics were fierce. The eldest brother of the emperor, King Jianning, was changed to King Ning and banned.Gu Haiyan dismissed his prime minister and bestowed him with death, ransacked his family and exterminated his family, but Gu Shierang was exempted from being in the army, and on the contrary got a promotion.The disciples of Gu Xianggong's family were quite connected. In the Shunzong Dynasty, several young talents who were like flowers blooming brocade and cooking oil with fire were dismissed one after another. Among them, Wang Xiping had the highest position and was sentenced to be sent to Huizhou and banned for life.The Lu family has deep roots, and has a friendship with the new emperor as a son-in-law. Lu Dalang was able to succeed him, and served the new emperor conscientiously, not daring to neglect him in the slightest.Only Mr. Lu Xiaolang, at this time, asked for an edict to honor Princess Yidu, and then resigned from office and left the court, sailed across the ocean, and never went to China again.

Back then, in the outskirts of Chang'an, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the feast of four young men in their prime was never possible again.One day, for some people, it is forever.

When the world was shocked/changed, Liu Fengji was not in Beijing.

At that time, Tao Xuan, Shuofang Jiedu envoy, was won over by the theory of dividing the world equally. Now that the general situation is certain, it is time for Tao Xuan to be pulled out.Fengji has been secretly operating in Shuofang for many years. At this time, he cooperates with Baizhi Deli Yingwai to capture Tao Xuan in one fell swoop and escort him to Jingzhong.It's a pity that Tao Xuan is still dreaming of dividing the world equally, and only God's will allows him to be imprisoned in a prison car.

Feng Ji was talking in Bai Zhide's tent at this time, discussing how to deal with the aftermath of Tao Xuan's arrest.Tao Xuan has been operating in Shuofang for many years, and has a solid foundation. Once he was captured, his trilogy is still there, so how to appease the persecution is really troublesome.The two of them were having a headache, and it happened that Beijing sent a residence report. Bai Zhide took it and opened it and looked at it. His face changed drastically, and he read it again carefully. Now, it’s a big matter, I have to go and arrange it. Tao Xuan is making a lot of noise, Mr. Liu, go and have a look, you are better at dealing with this kind of people.”

Feng Ji took the mansion newspaper, glanced at it in a hurry, and saw that the new emperor ascended the throne stylishly and calmly, but was stunned by the words "Gu Xiangci" below him, his throat was choked up, he was speechless, his eyes looked out , a blur.

Give death.It turned out to be death.

The teacher's kindness is deep, and the farewell between Beijing and China is actually an eternal farewell.

I thought that the seat owner is upright and honest, and his disciples are all over the world. Even if he loses power, he will not be punished for his crimes. Moreover, there is Twelve Lang working under Li Chun, so how could he just watch the seat owner be given to death?On the day of parting, he mentioned Wang Xiping and Lu Shaolian, but he didn't mention the seat lord. He thought it was needless to say, but who knows... he misread Shi Shilang, and even Li Chun.

The soldiers who came to report how to deal with Tao Xuan waited for a long time, and saw Feng Ji staring at the rough hemp paper in his hand, motionless like a clay sculpture or wood carving. Xuan is so noisy, carefully turn around and say something unpleasant, how can we deal with it?"

Fengji was startled: "What did you say?"

The soldier repeated it again patiently, Fengji managed to regain his composure, put the residence report into his sleeve pocket, got up and straightened his clothes, followed the soldier to see Tao Xuan's prison cell, only to see Tao Xuan was wearing plain clothes , with disheveled hair, was grabbing the cage and shouting: "Call Li Chun to see me! How dare he lie to me! How dare he lie to me!"

Feng Ji saw that he looked a bit haggard, and he was no longer the arrogant and high-spirited look he used to be when he was proud, so he sighed, and asked Tao Xuan to be brought into the quiet room, sat opposite him, and toasted him with a glass of wine. , said: "The governor is wrong, it's not His Highness who deceived you, but I, Liu Fengji, who deceived you."

"You are not a good person!" Tao Xuan didn't pick up the wine cup, and said with a sneer, "He was still smiling and joking with me, but in a blink of an eye, he turned his face faster than turning a book. It's really a natural match with Li Chun. I just don't like it." I understand, how could Lao Tao, the first hero, be defeated by you and Li Chun, two yellow-mouthed children!"

Fengji looked at Tao Xuan, and slowly said: "The governor is not reconciled, but he still thinks about the prophecy about the union of the phoenix and the union of peaches and plums?"

Tao Xuan's expression changed drastically: "How do you know!"

Feng Ji sighed: "The governor knows that I also made that prophecy."

Seeing that Tao Xuan didn't speak, he didn't seem to believe him, so he said in a low voice: "There is a little boy beside Fengji, who is born with supernatural powers, do you remember the governor?" This seal character is exactly the prophecy back then.Tao Xuan got the stone tablet back then and hid it with constipation, and he often took it out to look at it when no one was there. It is an extremely rare nine-fold seal script.

Tao Xuan's heart was clear, his eyes were miserable, he felt a ball of fire bumping back and forth in his chest, as if he was about to break through something and rush out, but after a long time, it was extinguished silently.

If there is destiny, he, Tao, can refuse to accept it, but if not, there is no benefit in losing his temper with this Liu Fengji now.

He looked up at Fengji, but smiled: "It turned out to be you." He said, "Why are you to blame, winner and loser, if he doesn't do something, Lao Tao will turn against him sooner or later, but I didn't expect it Until Li Chun strikes so fast."

Feng Ji smiled slightly: "What the Dudu said is true, but after all, Fengji lied first, and the Dudu didn't take responsibility, which shows his heart. It's a pity that such a hero can't stand side by side with His Highness, so he will suffer this disaster. If there is an afterlife, the Dudu will rise up again To compete in the Central Plains, Feng Ji will be driven under the tent of the governor."

Tao Xuan sneered: "It's good to say that, who knows what will happen in the next life, if you really feel sorry for my old Tao, just tell Li Chun, one person does things and one person is responsible, don't implicate your family, I will accept you when I go underground. Affection."

Feng Ji pondered for a moment, and said: "The governor is a sensible person, and the safety of the Tao family of more than a hundred people is already impossible, but if only the mother and child are safe, Feng Ji can do it."

Tao Xuan gritted his teeth, and said again: "Those women in the mansion have been raised so delicately all these years, and if they are sent to wear armor as slaves, they are afraid that life will be worse than death, so they will kill them, but my youngest son has just turned three years old this year, you should keep it anyway. Let his mother and child live, take care of one and two, so as not to die of cold and starvation, is it feasible?"

Feng Ji said solemnly: "You should obey your fate, and you will never hesitate to die."

Once Tao Xuan's mind was over, he made up his mind, but felt happy. He stretched out his hand to grab the wine pot, and took a big mouthful from the spout. The wine dripped down and spilled on his body. The shackles on his wrists sounded, and he glanced at Feng Ji. , and said again: "You are determined to work for him. Li Chun is a cold-hearted person by nature, and he is a repeated villain. But sharing adversity may not necessarily lead to sharing wealth, are you not afraid that one day he will kill you too?"

Fengji said in a low voice: "It's just a body."

Tao Xuan was stunned, and said: "No wonder you want to ruin your reputation for this. But what are you trying to do?"

Feng Ji looked a bit dazed, raised the wine cup and drank it down, said: "I was planning something, I thought I could do it, but it turned out I couldn't."

He thought he could control the world with his own talents, turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain, pull this down and push up that other, and make this world change as he expected, but he forgot that people's hearts will change. of.

The entire army has all been mourned for the late emperor, and the mansion newspapers from the capital came one after another, as well as the informative reports sent by Fengji's subordinates, either in detail or abbreviated, gradually giving a general outline of what happened in the capital these days Outlined.

The careless and upright Twelve Lang of the Gu family has changed. He betrayed his old father and devoted himself to assisting Li Chun.

He won the trust of the military power and the new emperor.

The bright and open-minded second prince has changed. He wins over eunuchs to appease the feudal town, tries his best to centralize power, and is ambitious to be the second Taizong.He forced to death his father, forced to death Mr. Gu who was loyal to the Li Tang world, and betrayed the agreement with Fengji.

He has won the world.

Some people have not changed.

Wang Xiping assisted Li Chun a lot in winning the heir apparent. The new emperor should have received a great reward, but he actually wrote a letter to plead for Mr. Gu, saying that Mr. Gu was old and hoped to use himself as his mentor.

He lost his official position and was sent to the frontier barren, and he could not be hired for life.

Mr. Lu Xiaolang had been friends with Li Chun since he was a child, and he had repeatedly made great contributions in Li Chun's conquest of the heir apparent. The new emperor ascended the throne, and his Lu family was in a prosperous period, but at this time he actually invited Princess Yidu. Stay away from the temple.Yidu is the only sister of King Wei who failed to compete with Shunzong for the position back then. No one cares about her life at this time, and her life in the palace is the best ending. It seems that this gamer will never grow up. Mr. Lu Xiaolang married her because of a joke he said about marriage back then.

He lost his homeland.

Li Chun promised him four lives, so there should be no worries about the lives of the four people, Gu Xianggong, Shi Shilang, Wang Xiping, and Lu Xiaolang.

But he killed Gu Xianggong.Kill Fengji's mentor, kill the old man who is worthy of heaven, worthy of the community, and worthy of what he has learned.

Feng Ji was at a loss for the first time in his life.What is the reason for his various schemes all these years?He originally thought that he could assist the Lord Ming to establish a real Datong world.When traveling on the great road, the world is for the public, but in Li Chun's heart, after all, the great road is hidden, and the world is his home.

He was still too naive.

Saying goodbye to Tao Xuan sadly, and returning to his own room, Yongjia jumped up happily, and asked happily: "It's over! Let's go now! It's so boring here!"

That's right, Bai Zhide has seen Yongjia before, and Yongjia hasn't grown up in recent years, so naturally he can't see such a weirdness, he hides in the house all day long, and he is inevitably depressed.Feng Jiqiang smiled and said: "Yes, it's over, we will leave here tomorrow."

But Yongjia suddenly stared into Fengji's eyes, and asked curiously, "What are you unhappy about?"

Feng Ji suddenly felt sore, turned his head away, two lines of tears flowed down.

Yongjia touched his face on tiptoe, there was warm water, as Xiuniang had taught him, it was tears.

It turns out that when you are sad, you will really cry.

Yongjia was apprehensive in his heart, carefully rubbed into Fengji's arms, and asked, "What are you sad about?"

Fengji reached out and hugged Yongjia's warm little body, put his head on top of his head, and said in a low voice: "My teacher was killed by Li Chun, so I'm sad."

Yongjia patted Fengji's shoulder reassuringly, and said, "It must be sad. When I saw the death of my fourth brother, I also felt sad."

Feng Ji shook his head slightly, and said: "Not only that, I seem to have done something wrong, misjudged a person, but now it is irreparable."

Yongjia opened his eyes wide and wondered, "Wrong person? Who is it?"

Fengji didn't answer, Yongjia tilted his head to look at him, and comforted him: "What are you afraid of if you make a mistake, let's ignore him from now on."

Feng Ji shook his head: "Ignore it and it won't work, there are some things that can only be done by him."

Yongjia rolled his eyes, and said: "There is nothing wrong with him, he is a bad person, kill him and replace him with that seat."

Feng Ji shook his head and sighed: "It can't be killed, it's even worse to kill."

Yongjia blinked, curled his lips and said: "You're talking about Li Chun, I knew that guy was a bad guy! He should have been killed long ago!" Seeing Feng Ji's disapproval, he thought for a while and said, "But If you say you can’t kill him, then don’t kill him. Let’s ask him if he’s willing to correct himself. I used to be mischievous and did bad things, but my fourth brother couldn’t bear to beat me. He always asked me if I admit my mistakes? Still a good boy."

Feng Ji couldn't help laughing, and said: "You're so clever, you guessed it was him, but it's a pity that Li Chun is no longer a child." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell into deep thought, and after a while, said, "But it may not be impossible to change, maybe What's hidden in it?"

He looked refreshed, stretched out his hand to pinch Yongjia's face, and said with a smile, "You're still smart."

Yongjia was very proud: "That's natural. My old man has traveled more bridges than you, so naturally he understands better than you." He rolled his eyes and quickly added, "I helped you this time. Well, what are you going to thank me for?"

Finally Fengji couldn't help laughing, hugged Yongjia and kissed his forehead, said: "Good boy, come with me to the capital, I want to talk to Li Chun again."

Yongjia curled his lips and said: "I'm afraid that we won't be able to agree, he's still his emperor, your hard work is in vain. Do you want me to help you catch him out of the palace, put a knife on his neck and force him to write a document, just like you said Do?"

Feng Ji shook his head slightly, and said: "It's useless, we can't stand by his side all the time and force him with a knife, if he refuses in his heart, it will always be useless."

Yongjia said disappointedly: "Then why go to the capital! Just ignore him, let's go live elsewhere! I can't follow you all the time when I go to the capital, it's so boring."

Feng Ji smiled and said: "Mr. Lu Xiaolang is going abroad with his family, and he may not be able to carry all those treasures with him, but they still stay in the old house of Lu's family in the capital. Why don't you go and have a look?"

Yongjia was overjoyed, and immediately put all the unhappiness behind him, and changed his words: "Okay! I'll go with you!"

Fengji looked at Yongjia's innocent appearance, and smiled slightly, but a hint of ominousness flashed in his heart.Going to the capital now, I don't know what is going on. Li Chun has already started killing people, so he won't care about killing one or two more. If...

He let out a little breath, fortunately, there is also Yongjia, even if they can't reach an agreement, thinking about it, the two of them will always be able to escape safely.

The author has something to say: (Shang said that the courtier said: "If I stand in Thailand, the position of the prince can be managed. Since now the prince has lost his way, and those who are watched by the vassal king are both abandoned, passed on to all descendants, and will be forever Post-law. And if Tai is established, neither the inheritance of Qian nor the governance is complete; the governance is established, then both the inheritance of Qian and Tai will be safe." - "Zizhi Tongjian"

Fighting for the reserve has been a terrible thing since ancient times. Taizong worried that Li Tai would be established because of his ability, so that his descendants would not learn well, so Li Chengqian and Li Tai were deposed, and Li Zhi was established. Unfortunately, his descendants still did not learn well. The throne, sincerely can do anything. )

(The journey of the great way also means that the world is public. The great way is hidden, and the world is home. ——These two sentences are from "Book of Rites? Datong Chapter")

(Nine-fold seal script is a very popular official seal character since the Song Dynasty, and it is still in use today. The handwriting is twisted and circled, and the strokes are evenly folded. The stroke layout is square and fills the printed surface. The number of folds depends on the complexity of the strokes. There are more than ten folds, nine folds is just a description of the number of folds, not the exact nine folds. There are different opinions about when the nine folds of seal script originated. Some say it is Han and Tang, and some say it is Song. It was very popular at least until the Song Dynasty, but when it first started, there is no conclusion.

Many museums have ancient seals with nine-fold seals on display. Some seals are extremely small, and the nine-fold seals have complicated strokes, but the printed text is still clear and full, which shows that the skills are extraordinary. When I first learned seal cutting, I overestimated my abilities and tried it. The failure was a mess, and I have remembered this kind of writing since then, and I couldn't help but want to show it, so I just assumed that this kind of writing existed in the Tang Dynasty, and there were still people under Da Lao Shu Tao Xuan who could recognize it. )

Looking back after more than a year, the writing was very messy, and I was sweating profusely, but I should fill it out, otherwise I will always miss it.

After posting last time, I found that it was only 3000 words, which was too different from the previous chapters, so I changed it and added it to more than 5000 words to finish. Obsessive-compulsive disorder, there is no way
