Turning on the horse, holding Meng Zhang around the waist, Zhong Kunyi urged the horse to move forward slowly.Passing through Heng'an City North City Street, there are many shops and people come here, which is very lively.

Because an official document was issued before, galloping horses on the market street is strictly prohibited, so the two of them passed by leisurely all the way.Passing by a rice shop, the shopkeeper brought a few apprentices Renyi to give porridge. There were many people in line, all dressed in shabby clothes, dragging their families with them, as if they had traveled a long distance.

Meng Zhang frowned: "Does Tianshu still have so many hungry people?"

Zhong Kunyi shook his head and said: "They were originally Tianji people. After the defeat of Susu, refugees flooded into Tianshu in the former land of Tianji. The household department has naturalized them, so they can be regarded as Tianshu people. Your Majesty, there is no need Worried. There will be no drought or waterlogging in spring and summer, and the autumn harvest will be good. They will definitely not be hungry. The uninhabited courtyard in Heng'an City has also been arranged for these people. It’s good to take the wages and exchange them for winter things.”

"I'm afraid this is not a long-term solution."

"I have sent people to negotiate with Tianxuan merchants. Tianxuan people need a lot of good wood for marriage, and the trees planted in my Tianshu Mountain Forest are most suitable for making furniture. When the time comes, I will arrange these people to go up the mountain to cut wood and work hard for two or three years. A few acres of fields and a few houses are more than enough.”

Only then did Meng Zhang feel relieved.He has always been sympathetic to public opinion, and he will ask Chung Kun Yi whenever he does not understand anything, and he will not stop until he is sure that it has been dealt with properly.When he likes the gadgets in the market, he will look at them a few more times, and he doesn't pay much attention to them. When he passes a kite-selling stall, he turns his head back again and again, his eyes lingering.

Zhong Kunyi reined in his horse and returned, turned over, and asked the old man who made the kite for an unfinished kite in the shape of an eagle. He picked up a brush and dipped it in the painting material. Qinglong.After paying the money, Zhong Kunyi turned around and handed the kite to Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and said: "Zhongqing should add wings to the eagle, why did you draw a green dragon?"

Zhong Kunyi smiled and said, "The wings are in my heart."

After getting on the horse and gradually leaving the crowd, seeing the north gate of the city approaching, Zhong Kunyi said softly: "The king is a green dragon, and I am willing to be an eagle to protect my king, soaring to ninety thousand miles, this life... I will never leave."

Meng Zhang suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhong Kunyi's side face, both moved and ashamed.He nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Zhong Kunyi's intentions.

In this room, Zhong Kunyi stared at the white back of his neck for a long time, smelled the fragrance of saponins emanating from his body, and tried her best to suppress the weird desire to "take a bite" in her heart.

Never offend the king.Zhong Kunyi warned herself again and again.Although he is young, he is superior and cannot be bullied.

After leaving the city gate, he rode his horse and galloped for more than ten li.Along the way, both the monarch and his ministers remembered the experience of riding a horse together when they escaped from the old capital of Tianshu, and each sighed, but never spoke.

They came to a flat valley.Seeing the swaying grass, colorful flowers, wild fruits and shrubs in the valley, Meng Zhang couldn't help sighing, "It's hard to find a place in the world, but this place is the only one that can be called amazing."

"It's really beautiful. No one lives here because the soil is not suitable for farming. However, grazing is very suitable. I have agreed with the guards of Heng'an City that this place will be used for grazing military horses in the future."

"Zhongqing will really spoil the scenery."

"Then I will not say more, so as not to disturb Wang Shang's pleasure. There is a stream deep in the valley, which is clear and sweet. I took the king up to have a look."

"Ok!"

The horse's hooves fluttered, and the green flashed all the way, the breeze brushed the hair sleeves of the two, and the green-clothed boy laughed heartily in the arms of the yellow-shirted youth, leaving laughter all the way.They are integrated with this beautiful scenery, like a couple of gods in the picture scroll.

Not long after, the creek arrived.The creek was only half a foot wide, and there were low shrubs growing on the side of the creek, with red fruits hanging on the shrubs. From time to time, birds with gray and brown feathers jumped out and flew away.There are several stones exposed by the stream, and a layer of moss grows on the stones. From time to time, a few small white flowers bloom, bees fly and butterflies dance, and a gray rabbit jumps from this bush to another place. clump.

Meng Zhang watched intently and laughed out loud from time to time.

Chung Kun Yi followed with a smile.

The horses kept on jumping over the creek and galloping deeper.There are mountains in the distance, and the valley is narrow and winding, and the path hidden in the clouds and mists cannot be seen.Zhong Kunyi told Meng Zhang where the boundary between Tianshu and Tianji is, how the envoys of the two countries used to fight each other for the furry land, how they fought each other for a mountain and a river, and how the customs of places that are only a few miles away are very different. , Meng Zhang was so fascinated by it that he didn't even notice that he had already circled deep in the valley.

Stopping by the stream, Zhong Kunyi helped Meng Zhang get off the horse, sat firmly on the horse's back, demonstrated the sitting posture, and carefully explained the points that need to be paid attention to when riding a horse, especially how to protect himself from falling off the horse .He was afraid that Meng Zhang would not remember, first he rode slowly for a while, then came back and galloped around Meng Zhang again and again.

Meng Zhang, who was trapped in the middle, held the kite with envy and eagerness on his face.

Zhong Kunyi had no choice but to admit defeat, stopped, got off the horse, took the kite from Meng Zhang's arms, and asked with a smile, "Does Your Majesty want to try it?"

Meng Zhang nodded with surprise on his face.He took the rein from Zhong Kunyi, held it firmly, kicked the horse's belly lightly, walked a few steps, and looked back.Zhong Kunyi was holding a kite and watching him with a smile on his lips.Meng Zhang only felt that his heart was broad-minded and a lot bolder. He urged the horse to gallop lightly, his green clothes fluttered, and he gradually blended into the green grass.Not long after, he came back and wanted to stop in front of Zhong Kunyi, but he reined in his horse a little too late and rushed forward a few feet.The horse raised its hooves and neighed, and he immediately hugged the saddle so as not to be thrown off.

After getting off the horse, Meng Zhang was unsteady and almost fell.Zhong Kunyi ran to his side to support him, and helped him straighten his hair that was blown by the wind.Meng Zhang had never been so indulgent before, sweating profusely from excitement.Zhong Kunyi raised her sleeve to wipe it for him, but her gaze fell on the bright red lips bitten by himself for a moment.

Meng Zhang's question interrupted Zhong Kunyi's charming thoughts.

"Zhongqing, is my king's riding skills okay?"

"The king is talented and intelligent, and the humble minister admires him."

"You, you can also say these flattering words - in fact, the king has learned it when he was young, but the horses he rides are all colts, which cannot be compared with the foot strength of such a thousand-mile horse." Meng Zhang sighed.He let go of the rein and let the horse drink by the stream.

Zhong Kunyi smiled, took out a big cloak from under the saddle, shook it out, put it on Meng Zhang, fastened the belt, and said: "The mountain is damp and cold, your majesty, don't freeze anymore."

Meng Zhang thought it was cumbersome, but saw that the cloak looked very familiar, so he didn't refuse.

Zhong Kunyi disassembled the kite lead and walked uphill while flying the kite.The mountain wind was not strong, and the kite swayed and took a long time to rise slowly.

Meng Zhang raised his head and stared intently.

Zhong Kunyi handed the wire to his finger.So the two monarchs and ministers walked uphill together, the kite flew higher and higher, and the lead wire was tightened. Zhong Kunyi was afraid that the thin thread would strangle Meng Zhang's fingers, so she hugged him in her arms and pinched the upper end of the lead wire.

The young man in green fits so well in his arms, Zhong Kunyi is reluctant to let him go.

The kite is getting smaller and smaller, and it looks like it is on the top of a mountain from a distance.The lead wires in the hands of the two of them were at the end, so they simply sat on the grass and enjoyed the spectacle of the paper eagle attracting several real eagles circling endlessly.

The uphill faces the sun, and the afternoon sun shrouds them, making them lazy and drowsy.

Meng Zhang leaned against Zhong Kunyi's chest and closed his eyes.By the time Zhong Kunyi took back the kite, he had fallen into a deep sleep.After all, it is still recovering from illness, easy to get tired and sleepy.

Gathering the cloak closer, he tilted his arm so that he fell into the crook of his arm, and held the kite in the other hand to block the dazzling light.Zhong Kunyi looked at his slightly green face, thinking about the matter of Tianshu moving back to the old capital, the matter of disintegrating the power of the aristocratic family, the matter of making the country rich and the people strong, and the matter of guarding against Tianquan and Tianxuan... unconsciously It was dusk.The sun shifted, the place where it was originally became shady, and the mountain wind was much stronger.

Zhong Kunyi woke up Meng Zhang softly, unexpectedly Meng Zhang opened his eyes, saw him, and blurted out a sentence that instantly chilled Zhong Kunyi's heart.

"This king just had a dream, dreaming of Zhongqing..."

Sitting sickly on the bed, clutching his heart, the sad-looking young man appeared in Zhong Kunyi's mind.

No, don't say that...that's in the past.Forget it, forget about Zhong Kunyi in the past... that Zhong Kunyi, I don't know how wonderful the king is...

Meng Zhang's next sentence dragged Zhong Kunyi out of panic and fear.

"I dreamed that the king was still young, and Zhongqing was the king's elder brother. He taught the king calligraphy, martial arts, horseback riding, and played with the king... If Zhong Qing was really the king's elder brother, then everything that the king owned would be handed over to him. ... In this way, if you are no longer afraid of being bullied, Tianshu will not be reduced to such a situation..."

Zhong Kunyi suddenly felt a raging fire ignited in his heart.

He smiled and pulled Meng Zhang up, took his hand and walked to the stream.The horses are flicking their tails by the stream, the stream reflects the sunset, the grass and shrubs are covered with a layer of golden, so beautiful that it makes people doubt that the dream is still there.

"I'm glad I'm not the king's elder brother in this life."

"Why?"

"The king is very good. It is enough for Tianshu to have the king. It is enough for the minister to have the king..."
