Wanli Fenghou Road in the past

The battlefield was changing rapidly. Tang Wei and Han Yunqing did achieve a short-term victory when they first arrived in Nanshao, but they fell into a stalemate immediately, and there was no progress in a month.

Tang Yu's letters are all the same every time. The battle is smooth, the body is healthy, and there is no serious problem. Please rest assured, Your Majesty.

In comparison, Han Yunqing's letter has more points to read, from three meals a day, the meat and vegetables, the distribution of officials' residences, and even who robbed whose quilts are all detailed descriptions, each with three or four pages.

Mi Qingwan's pregnancy is close to full term, and she may give birth at any time, making Zheng Che'an's life very chaotic, the war in Nanshao is tense, and the construction of the dam in Jiangzhou has come to an end. A big problem facing Zheng Che'an.

On the third watch day, Zheng Chean was walking back and forth in the study room, and the memorials that he could never finish reading were still piled high into a hill. He numbly watched Min'er come in for the third time to change the new tea, and sighed for no apparent reason.

"Your Majesty, in the past month or so, you have sighed more than in the whole year before. Are you really alright?" Min'er worried.

"Really?" Zheng Che'an didn't take it seriously: "I've become an emperor, after all, it's different from when I was a prince."

"Is it because of Mr. Tang?" Min'er seemed to be joking: "When Mr. Tang left, you didn't see the expression on your face at that time. You looked devastated. This servant has never looked so sad about you."

Zheng Che'an was a little dazed: "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true," Min'er said brightly, "You treat Mr. Tang very differently, we can all see that."

Zheng Che'an felt even more at a loss when he heard Min'er's words. He really seemed to have a somewhat different feeling for Tang Wei. He couldn't tell exactly what it was, but at least he could be sure that this kind of feeling was absolutely different from the feeling he felt when he was called a brother and brother with Han Yunqing. It's two different things.

"By the way, Your Majesty," Min'er mysteriously took out something and put it in front of Zheng Che'an: "This is what this servant saw when cleaning up the warehouse this morning. Why hasn't His Majesty brought it before?"

Zheng Chean glanced at it. It was a small piece of jade pendant. Because it hadn't been nursed for a long time, the chain was a little open. There were four words engraved on the jade pendant: Prosperous Chang'an.

Zheng Che'an frowned, and thought about it seriously: "Ah... this is a birthday gift from the year I was 14 years old." This jade pendant was too ordinary and didn't fit his status as the prince at that time, so it was thrown into it within a few days In the warehouse, quickly forgotten.

"Your Majesty! How can you just accept such things!" Min'er blushed, "Do you know what this is?"

"Jade pendant!" Zheng Che'an looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see why.

"Have you ever heard a poem? Fanqin wrote it!"

"Which song?" Zheng Che'an was a little at a loss.

"I went out for a tour of the east gate, and I met Cheng Qingchen. Thinking of the king is a quiet room, serving the bed and holding the clothes towel. There is no mulberry in the middle of the time, forcing people on the side of the road. I am charming to the king, and the king is also pleasing to my face. Why is it so Fist? Double gold rings on the arms. Why is it courteous? It refers to a pair of silver. Why is it so mere? Two pearls in the ears. Why is it knocked? Grace? Beautiful jade with tassels..."

Min'er didn't know anything about poetry, and Zheng Che'an was a little relieved to recite so much all of a sudden, but the more he listened to it, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did he form a friendship?Beautiful jade with tassels, what an obvious sentence, he looked at the chain of tassels on the jade pendant again, and suddenly became confused.

If I remember correctly... this piece of jade was given by Tang Yu...

"Your Majesty! People must be embarrassed to tell you directly, so they came up with such a subtle way. You are kind, just put the jade pendant in the warehouse! It's really chilling!" Min'er pouted: "I really don't know Which girl is it, what a wonderful way she thought of...it's a pity..."

"You said...he gave me the jade pendant because he loves me?"

"For sure!" Min'er said: "And you accepted it! What does this mean? It means that he is already yours!"

Zheng Che'an became even more confused: So... Tang Yu actually... likes me?

"She must love you very much," Min'er thought with happiness on her face: "It's really enviable! What about yours? Do you love her?"

like?Do you love Tang Yu?Zheng Che'an frowned, Tang Yu was gentle and elegant, and he was also very beautiful. If it was a girl, I should like him very much!

Zheng Che'an doesn't dislike masculinity, and has also seen the situation where a rich man keeps a small restaurant, but Tang Yu...is like a dazzling star, like hiding him and never being found...

Is this love?It seems that Tang Yu's every frown and smile are deeply imprinted in his mind, and he will feel angry when he is wronged, and feel shocked when he is hurt... Thinking about it, Zheng Che'an couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine—as if he really I fell in love with this person...

He looked at Min'er in a daze, but it startled Min'er: "Your Majesty, did this servant say something wrong?"

"No, maybe you're right." Zheng Che'an, who wanted to understand, suddenly laughed heartily, expressing his joy from the bottom of his heart.

Tang Yu...the person I fell in love with...can't escape...

Zheng Che'an's eyes flashed, he seemed to have no other feelings for Mi Qingwan other than the joy of reuniting after a long absence...

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Xu came in to salute, "His Royal Highness, please see me."

"Han Yunqing is back?" Zheng Che'an frowned: "What's going on?"

Han Yunqing walked in with a deep expression, not at all the playful smile he used to, which surprised Zheng Che'an.

"I have seen Your Majesty." Han Yunqing stepped forward to salute in a busy manner, with a tired face.

"Did you rush back overnight?" Zheng Chean stepped forward to support him and said, "What's the matter? Did something happen to Nan Shao?"

Han Yunqing took out a letter from his coat and handed it to Zheng Che'an, with a hoarse voice: "The army was suddenly attacked by Nanshao the day before yesterday. Our army was not prepared at all and lost two cities in one night. The official report should be released tomorrow morning." Entering Beijing, please... atone for your sin." After speaking, he knelt on his knees.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists." Although Zheng Che'an was shocked by the loss of two cities, he still had reason and knew that it would be useless to say more at this moment: "What is this letter?"

"Master Tang's..." Han Yunqing clenched his hands tightly: "Master Tang wrote all the reports before, but he got a scratch on his right arm the night before yesterday, and his pen trembled a little. The format required for the report is too cumbersome. , This time it was written by someone else, and I was afraid that I could not write clearly, so I wrote some letters from home."

"Is he all right?" Zheng Che'an was startled: "Isn't he a civil servant? What are the guards around me doing?"

"Your Majesty is fine, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Han Yunqing replied, "You should read the letter! Your Majesty Tang should have written clearly!"

The letter written by Tang Wei is neat and tidy, but Zheng Che'an can still feel that the font is too light, and many places are filled with strokes later. Zheng Che'an's heart aches when he sees it. Tang Wei will always put the government first. Don't care about your body at all.

The general idea of ​​the letter is concise and clear, just to explain one thing: there are ghosts in the army.

Zheng Che'an frowned, is it a ghost?I haven't paid much attention to it, so I should look it up... There are two sheets of letter paper, and Zheng Che'an couldn't help being stunned when he turned to the second sheet. There were only three words written on it: I'm sorry.

sorry?What's the meaning?Zheng Che'an fell into deep thought, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Han Yunqing by the collar, and lifted him up directly: "What's wrong with Tang Yu!"

Han Yunqing was so strangled that he couldn't breathe, and subconsciously grabbed Zheng Che'an's arm with both hands: "Your Majesty...cough cough, Mr. Tang...very good, really..."

As soon as Zheng Chean let go, Han Yunqing sat on the ground gasping for breath, and knelt down again after a while: "Your Majesty, I met two people on the way. They hoped to see His Majesty, and I brought them in..."

Zheng Che'an was still immersed in the emotions just now, and there was a sense of uneasiness spreading all over his body. Why did Tang Wei write sorry to him?Because of the loss of two cities?Maybe, but Zheng Che'an always felt that Tang Wei must not only want to express this aspect of emotion.

"Caomin, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor."

Only then did Zheng Che'an come to his senses. There was a man and a woman kneeling in front of him. Judging from their clothes, they should be ordinary people. The woman wore a veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly. over this person.

"This is?" Zheng Che'an frowned.

"Little girl salutes Your Majesty." The woman saluted respectfully, she was a lady who had seen the world, she slowly knelt up straight, and gently took off her veil.

Zheng Che'an and Min'er who were present were startled, and almost said in unison: "Miss Su!"
