Song Emperor Jiangshan

After a while, a familiar voice came from inside: "I'm here to see you, Jiankang Commander Fourth Rank Loyalty General Xiao Shan!"

Xiao Shan took a deep breath, walked into the hall, and bowed to Zhao Yuan: "I have seen Your Majesty."

There was no special change in the voice of the person above, and the tone was steady: "Pingshen."

Xiao Shan raised his head slowly, and looked towards Zhao Yuan who was sitting on the dragon chair.The other party was wearing the crimson gauze gown with the Tongtian crown used by the emperor.The black hat was embellished with blue and white beads, and the two straps on the edge of the hat hung down softly, and the ears made of yellow jade were shaking gently beside his ears.The red gauze robe was embroidered with the pattern of Yunlong with gold thread, and the collar of the white jacket wrapped around his neck, making his complexion fair and rosy.Zhao Yuan's eyes were looking straight at Xiao Shan, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking extremely graceful and luxurious.

Xiao Shan had never seen this kind of attire before, the red robe would look a bit feminine when worn on some men, or ridiculous if worn on some burly men, but it was appropriate for Zhao Yuan.He stared blankly for a moment, forgetting to blink his eyes.

Zhao Yuan stood up from the throne, and smiled at Xiao Shan: "I haven't seen you for a year, and Xiao Qing is still handsome."

Xiao Shan also laughed, even though he knew that what he said next would be recorded by Qi Jilang, he still laughed and said: "I often see Your Majesty, but the person in the dream is much inferior to the person in front of me."

Zhao Yuan's face turned slightly red, and he stopped five steps away from Xiao Shan: "This time, stay a little longer before leaving, I have a lot to say to you."

Xiao Shan bowed and said, "Your Majesty obeys the order. I dare not disobey any order from Your Majesty."

There was a sly look in Zhao Yuan's eyes, and Xiao Shan's heart beat wildly when he saw this kind of expression in the usually calm man, and his breathing became a little short.

Zhao Yuan then asked Xiao Shan about the situation in the past year, because someone was following him, Xiao Shan only talked about the situation in the army and discussed official affairs, but his eyes kept falling on Zhao Yuan as if they had grown roots.

Zhao Yuan threw away the documents that had not been reviewed today, and invited Xiao Shan to visit the garden. The imperial palace is not big, and there is nothing to visit, so Zhao Yuan changed into a set of ordinary clothes, rode his horse and walked side by side with Xiao Shan, to the West Lake Jujing Garden.Xiao Shan saw that Zhao Yuan's desk was piled up like a hill, he was very worried that he would go out with him for a day, and he would be busy until midnight when he came back, so he said: "Your Majesty seems to have some official business to deal with, and I'm not in a hurry, It's okay to wait."

Zhao Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows: "These things happen a lot every day, every day. Xiao Qing can't be by my side every day."

Xiao Shan didn't say much more knowingly and interestingly, and traveled with Zhao Yuan.

Although it was said that they were going on tour in modest clothes, the guards and eunuchs behind them still followed a large group, and the living man did not follow, but only recorded: Shangxing Jujingyuan, Zhongwu General Xiao Shan accompanied.

A group of people came out from the Qingbo Gate in the south of the city. Outside the gate was the South Gate of the West Garden. Inside there were nearly twenty halls and pavilions, including Huifang Hall, Yingchun Hall, Lanyuan Hall, and Fanghua Pavilion. Xiaoshan saw the pavilions. The plaques were all written by Zhao Yuan, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty still has the mood to do these things?"

Zhao Yuan smiled: "The Supreme Emperor likes to come here, so he asked people to redecorate this place. I usually come here less often."

Stepping into the garden, Xiaoshan saw weeping willows and flowers around the embankment. An artificial river was dug to draw water from the West Lake in. The grass under the trees was delicious, and there were two stone bridges on the river.

Occasionally, eunuchs and maids would bow their knees to salute Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan seemed to be in a very good mood today.Xiao Shan felt that it was not appropriate to say something unsightly at this time, but he did not expect Zhao Yuan to bring it up by himself: "Although this place is beautiful, I want to go to Jiankang."

Xiao Shan had no choice but to say in an unwelcome way: "I just returned to Beijing today, and I was called by the Taishangguan's family to talk about this matter."

Zhao Yuan looked at Xiao Shan with a smile: "I know what he said, but Xiao Qing will definitely not object, will she?"

Xiao Shan said: "The minister and the Taishangguan family have the same idea. I'm afraid it's not a good time for Your Majesty to go to Jiankang now."

The smile on Zhao Yuan's face disappeared, and Xiao Shan explained his reasons: first, Jiankang didn't give Zhao Yuan a place to live; second, it was very dangerous to be close to the front line; Laboring and mobilizing many people consumes money and food.

After hearing what Xiao Shan said, Zhao Yuan just kept silent, Xiao Shan said something, and Zhao Yuan accepted a share of it with a smile, and when Xiao Shan finished speaking, the smile on Zhao Yuan's face was no longer visible.

Xiao Shan said: "Your Majesty, please think twice before acting."

Zhao Yuan said: "It's already noon, Xiao Qing hasn't eaten yet, right?" Xiao Shan said: "I received the weapons made by the Weapons Supervision, and it seems that there are some things that are not satisfactory. I'm going to have a look in the afternoon. Just buy some cooking cakes on the way. gone."

Zhao Yuan's face became even more ugly, he stared at Xiao Shan for a while, and said: "I thought you would support my idea, but I didn't expect you to have the same argument with the Supreme Emperor."

Xiao Shan apologized and said with a smile: "The concern of the Taishangguan family is also reasonable."

Zhao Yuan snorted, walked with his hands behind his back, lost interest in visiting the garden, and went straight out of the Jujing Garden, Xiao Shan followed closely behind him, the two came to the willow tree where Zhang Xianyue Yun's body was buried that day.Zhao Yuan stopped in his tracks, and said to the eunuchs and guards around him in a somewhat hostile tone, "You all stand down!"

The eunuchs and guards did not dare to disobey the emperor's words, so they all walked away and formed a circle around them.

When Zhao Yuan saw that the people around him could no longer hear what he said, he no longer had to hesitate, pointing to the place where the bones were buried and said: "Since I buried the bones of the two generals with you, there is not a day when I don't think about it." Zhongliang needs to be buried again. Jiankang has no place to live, it’s just that the palace is not gorgeous enough, and the residence is not suitable enough! Besides, Yan Liang can personally lead the six armies to invade the south, so I will be afraid of him. In your heart, I am timid and fearful people?"

Xiao Shan noticed that Zhao Yuan had been the emperor for a year, and he would never accidentally say "I" when speaking, but always use "Zhen".

Xiao Shan said: "I don't mean that, it's just that Jiankang is really too dangerous. Besides, if His Majesty wants to move the capital, the court ministers will also move with him, and their families are all in Lin'an..."

Zhao Yuan interrupted Xiao Shan's words, saying: "Back then when Tuoba Gui moved the capital, he encountered even greater difficulties. I will never compromise just because things are difficult!"

Xiao Shan saw Zhao Yuan's resolute attitude, he was not able to be persuaded for a while, and was about to speak, Zhao Yuan said: "Are you going to the Military Weapons Supervision this afternoon? I want to go with you!"

Xiao Shan smiled, Zhao Yuan's tone seemed a little bit of anger.

Zhao Yuan glared at Xiao Shan, dissatisfied: "Why are you laughing?"

Xiao Shan didn't dare to joke with Zhao Yuan before, because the other party was serious, but now his tone was a bit flirtatious, so he laughed: "I laughed when I saw that Your Majesty was happy. You can’t make people laugh, right? Your Majesty is a little domineering.”

Zhao Yuan glared at Xiao Shan angrily, making Xiao Shan feel as if he was in the clouds, he didn't know where he was.

Although Xiao Shan said that it would be enough to buy two biscuits on the way, he was still persuaded by Zhao Yuan to stay and had a meal in the courtyard before leaving. But nothing.

After lunch, the two went to the Military Weapons Supervision. The scale of the Military Weapons Supervision was much larger than that of Jiankang. Hundreds of blacksmiths were making armored bows and arrows, and more than a dozen were working on firearms there. The land covers hundreds of square meters, and Xiao Shan stood by the iron furnace and expressed his thoughts to Zhao Yuan: Most of the ore needed to make firearms is within the territory of the Kingdom of Jin. Weapons are not something that happens overnight, and large-scale use will take time to get used to.Wan Yanliang's coming is fierce, I'm afraid it will be a little insufficient to only focus on improving technology. It is best to mobilize the whole people and recruit soldiers to join the army.

When Zhao Yuan asked this question, his brows were knit together, and he said: "Since I became the throne, I have realized that the tax revenue over the years is not enough to cover the military expenditure. If we recruit more people, the money will be very tight. But if there are not enough soldiers, I am afraid It is also difficult to resist the million-dollar army of the Jin people. I can't finish Yan Liang's job of killing chickens and taking eggs, and collecting taxes in advance for five years."

Xiao Shan said: "Nowadays there are too many vacancies in the army, which is very serious. If your Majesty wants to rejuvenate, the first important thing is to check these vacant salaries, which will definitely save a lot of money. The mobilization of the whole people does not necessarily mean wide collection Taxation is mainly to let everyone in the world know why His Majesty is fighting, give full support, have money, have power, and have people. Only when the whole country is united can it be possible to win a military victory. "

Zhao Yuan nodded, he was thinking about this day and night, but when it came to the details, there were many things that he couldn't implement.For example, for the mobilization of the whole people, Zhao Yuan has already issued many edicts, but when those edicts reached the local area, they had little impact.It is also necessary to investigate the embezzlement of military salaries by officers, but because there are many people involved, I am afraid that the scope of involvement will be too wide. Instead of achieving the expected effect, it will go in the opposite direction. kind of thing.

Xiao Shan and Zhao Yuan talked about these issues for a while in the weapon supervisor, when they came out, it was already dark, Xiao Shan was going to the posthouse because he had no place to live, but was stopped by Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan said: "The old Qin's oil shop has been taken over by others since father Qin left. I know you have no place to live when you come back, so I sent someone to buy that place and take you to see it?"

Xiao Shan nodded, and the group turned to the oil shop not far from the imperial palace. Xiao Shan still picked out a trick when he saw the outside, but the big "Qin" character before was replaced with "Xiao" character.

The door was ajar, Xiao Shan pushed it open, he couldn't help being surprised.

He remembered that when he left Lin'an that day, it was already a mess inside, and after it was taken over by another family, all the furnishings inside had changed, but now, everything has returned to its original state.There was a row of oil drums on the shop outside, and a servant at the door stood up quickly to salute when he saw the crowd coming.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Shan was in a trance, as if his adoptive father was sitting here to cheer someone up.He also hasn't seen Qin Chong and Wang Meiniang for almost half a year. It's not that he doesn't want to visit the two elders, but it's just that the question of marriage will be raised as soon as he goes, which makes him very headache, and he doesn't know how to answer it.

Xiao Shan walked through the outer shop and entered the courtyard. The sycamore tree in the courtyard has grown thicker now. There are still sticks on it that he used to practice pull-ups. A low stool for use.

Xiao Shan walked into his room, the wardrobe and bedding were the same, although he had only lived here for a few days, he was still very moved when he saw the usual furnishings.He turned to look at Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan was standing behind him, looking at him with a smile on his face: "I think you probably like the furnishings when you were young, so you made a set according to the appearance in your memory. I don't know how it looks like. Not like."

Xiao Shan walked slowly to the door, closed the door with his hand, nodded and said: "I like it very much, I can't help you."

As soon as the door was closed, there were only two people left in the room. The oil lamp by the bedside was not too bright, and circles of dim yellow light spread out, covering the whole room under the halo.

Until this time, Zhao Yuan looked at Xiao Shan unscrupulously, his chest heaved a little.

Xiao Shan didn't say anything, just leaned against the door, opened his arms, Zhao Yuan stepped forward, and the two hugged each other tightly.

It wasn't until Xiao Shan hugged Zhao Yuan that he felt that he had lost a lot of energy, the person who made people dream of was in his arms, all the lovesickness of a year broke out at this moment, and the two kissed behind the door.

After being separated for a long time, the silver thread on his lips remained intact, Xiao Shan sighed softly: "Yuan Yuan, I miss you..."

Zhao Yuan kissed her again, with a trembling voice: "I miss you too, I don't know how I got through this year..."

Xiao Shan dragged Zhao Yuan towards the bed, he didn't know how he got through this year, the two hugged tightly, and couldn't bear to part for a moment.

Xiao Shan eagerly wanted to untie Zhao Yuan's clothes, but was held down by Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan panted slightly: "Don't mess up the clothes..."

Xiao Shan picked up Zhao Yuan's waist, lifted up the robe he was wearing, and pulled his trousers up to his knees. It was inconvenient for him to take off his clothes, so he just took off his trousers and kissed him casually, and he couldn't wait to take off his clothes. A hard object that was already hard and painful pierced in.

Zhao Yuan snorted in a low voice, his expression was a little distorted, Xiao Shan realized that he was anxious again.He took out the rose ointment from Gan Min that he brought with him, took out a large lump, and applied all of it in Zhao Yuan's small hole, and when he felt that the other's inside was getting wet, he stepped in and started to move.

Both of them didn't sit on the bed, Zhao Yuan was standing in the room with his hands on the table, Xiao Shan hugged him tightly from behind, but he lost it after only two or three twitches.

Zhao Yuan's front was still straight, obviously he didn't get any satisfaction.Xiao Shan helped him make it with his hands, and kissed him again.

Zhao Yuan ejaculated quickly, turned around and smiled at Xiao Shan, "You are too fast, aren't you?"

Xiao Shan was made hard again by his words, he bit Zhao Yuan's lips fiercely: "I was so excited just now, I haven't done it for a year, how can I bear it? How about you try again?" , I promise you to beg for mercy this time..."

As he spoke, he moved his hand towards Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan's face was flushed, but he quickly pressed Xiao Shan's hand: "No...no more...the palace gate will be closed soon, I can't..."

Xiao Shan felt that what he was doing was a bit like an affair, when he did it last time, he was in the dark.This time it was a bit brighter, but... I also blamed myself for not having enough concentration.He finally couldn't help but said: "Let's stay tonight, if you won't go all night, are you afraid that the sky will be turned upside down?"

There was some hesitation in Zhao Yuan's gaze, he also held back for a year, the point just now was not enough, but he had to go back.

Zhao Yuan looked at Xiao Shan, and kissed him gently: "Amao, if I go to Jiankang, I can see you every day."

Xiao Shan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhao Yuan to mention such a thing at this time.He let go of his hand with some entanglement: "You don't insist on going to Jiankang for this reason, do you?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head: "Of course not, the main reason is that Jiankang is located on the front line, and the imperial court can respond immediately to any incident. The emperor will personally go to the front line to supervise the battle, and the soldiers will definitely use a hundred times their strength." After a while, Zhao Yuan lowered his voice again. Said: "I miss you too... Why is it not good to do multiple things with one stroke?"

Xiao Shan originally wanted to persuade Zhao Yuan, but now he is persuaded by Zhao Yuan.He nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, no matter what, I will stand by your side! It's not too appropriate to move the capital, you can conquer it yourself."

Zhao Yuan smiled: "I never thought of moving the capital. If I really wanted to move, I would also move to Bianjing City! It's just that, if you relax a little at that time, the resistance from the court will be less."

Xiao Shan looked at Zhao Yuan helplessly, Zhao Yuan was already lifting his pants.

Xiao Shan also took the handkerchief in the room and wiped it carelessly by himself, and said: "A man once said that the Chinese people value compromises. For example, if you want to open a window on the wall, everyone will definitely oppose it. If you insist on If the wall is torn down entirely, the crowd may offer to open a window first."

Zhao Yuan laughed loudly, when Xiao Shan was about to go out, he found that the bottom half of Zhao Yuan's robe was still crumpled by himself, so he stretched out his hand to straighten his robe, and sent Zhao Yuan away.

Xiao Shan's house is not far from the imperial palace, the two of them did not ride horses, they walked slowly on the street, a group of guards followed behind them.After a short walk, he had already arrived at the gate of the palace, Xiao Shan was a little bit reluctant to let go, he watched Zhao Yuan's figure disappear into the depths of the palace, and then returned.

When he returned to his oil shop, he realized that in the whole shop, Zhao Yuan had only arranged for him a rough servant, and the huge yard was somewhat empty.

He opened the door of his room, the smell of joy inside had not dissipated, and the oil lamp was still on and off.

Xiao Shan lay on his bed, wanting to recall the situation just now, but found that Zhao Yuan only stayed in his room for more than ten minutes just now.It seems that I can't even be Zhao Yuan's concubine, at most I can be regarded as a wild cannon...
