love palace

Standing on the Wan'an Bridge where people come and go, Hong Liu closed her eyes and tried her best to calm down the feeling of strong heart palpitations, but she didn't know if it was because she ran too fast or for too long, but her heartbeat became more violent.

Why did you make such a rash move?He even kissed General Ke... He has no face to go back!

Even if you like it very much, you can't do such a disrespectful thing. What would General Ke think?How disappointed should he be with himself? !

"What should I do...?" Hong Liu slowly opened her wet eyes, looking at the rushing river under the bridge, she really had the urge to give up.

No!

Hong Liu shook his head vigorously, how could he commit suicide before his revenge was avenged? !But now, is there any other way to choose?

If he put aside his selfishness and lured General Ke to embark on the road of rebellion step by step, then General Ke's future life must be very painful.

Because for Ke Weiqing, crusade against the emperor is not only treason, but also a matter of life and death!

As the so-called "bystanders are clear", Hong Liu understood that Ke Weiqing was very loyal to Emperor Dayan, or in other words, he was as good to that emperor as he wanted.

He is obviously not a person who likes to make great achievements, but he is willing to become the Hussar General and Minister of the Ministry of War.Those who go out and enter the prime minister are only to assist the emperor in unifying the country.

There are obviously many excellent women who admire him. In the past three years, dozens of good people proposed marriage to General Ke, but Ke Weiqing decided not to marry for the sake of the emperor. don't care.

In his heart, he probably couldn't hold another person anymore.

Even so, Hong Liu still hopes that in General Ke's heart, even if it's just a small corner, she has her own place.

If he had been born a few years earlier, he would have been able to guard General Ke earlier and keep him away from the emperor...

"Bang, bang!"

A few urchins set off firecrackers at the bridge, Hong Liu came back to his senses in shock, the wide stone bridge was full of excitement, Hong Liu remembered that today is the day for the market.Farmers carrying baskets of fruits and vegetables, and herdsmen driving ox carts all came to the city.

Although he was in a hurry, his face was filled with a joyful look of a comfortable life.

This is not seen in other countries.Emperor Dayan's iron-fisted rule made the folks rich and the fields prosperous.In Hong Liu's eyes, these scenes were filled with jealousy and hatred.No matter how glamorous and beautiful it is, it can't hide the bloody hands and tyrannical nature of the Dayan royal family.

Their throne was built on the tragedy of the Wuque Clan's extermination!

In order to conceal his identity and prevent the world from knowing his identity, Emperor Wen went on a killing spree, killing innocent people indiscriminately, even infants. The blood of the Wuque clan dyed the Zhuque River red. How can we not avenge this bloody feud? ? !

Hong Liu immediately clenched her fists and took a deep breath.He couldn't go back to General Ke's side for the time being.Because as long as he stayed by Ke Weiqing's side, he would be strongly shaken, hesitant to take revenge, but this was not something he should consider at all.

One day, General Ke will understand his painstaking efforts and why he has to leave now.Because the day we meet again may not be too far away.

Hong Liu regained her composure and got lost in the crowd.He is going to find Yonglin, although there are some differences from the original plan, but he will definitely get revenge.

※※※

Ke Weiqing stayed at home restlessly until evening, but he didn't wait for Hongliu to appear. He had asked Qing Fou and Qing Yun to go out and look for it.

Qing Yun didn't know what happened, so he just thought it was a child throwing a temper tantrum, so he smiled and said that when he was hungry, he would come back naturally.

Ke Weiqing was speechless.Hong Liu is a smart, sensible and precocious child, but she has a very stubborn personality.Sometimes, it was even a little tricky. Ke Weiqing was afraid that if he refused to come back, he would suffer hardship if he wandered outside penniless.

However, just when it was getting dark and Ke Weiqing wanted to go out to look for it, the imperial court issued an imperial decree, announcing that Ke Weiqing would enter the palace to meet him.

Ke Weiqing changed into court clothes and entered the palace in a hurry, but saw red lights hanging high in the square in front of the palace, elite soldiers lined up, and chariots lined up, the momentum was terrifying!

What's going on here?Could it be a coup between North Korea and China? !

Ke Weiqing anxiously walked through the Qinzheng Hall and came to the brightly lit and heavily guarded imperial study room, but saw Huang Ye in black iron armor with a solemn expression, discussing something with the prime minister.

"The last general will see the emperor!" No matter how impatient and puzzled, etiquette still cannot be avoided, Ke Weiqing knelt and kowtowed, loud and clear.

"Ke Aiqing, you are here." Huang Ye showed a smile, waved his hand, and told the Prime Minister to retreat, and the maidservants also retreated. Once the palace door was closed, only the two of them were left.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Ke Weiqing asked anxiously, frowning.

"There is a big event. I want to go on a personal expedition, and I will set off tonight." Huang Ye said in a calm and authentic tone, and it didn't seem like a sudden decision.

"Ah? Where are you fighting?" Now that the world is peaceful and there is no war, Ke Weiqing doesn't understand anymore.

"Nan Lie." Huang Ye said, with a sharp light in his black eyes, "This time, I will definitely take it!"

"But your majesty, didn't you sign a covenant of non-aggression with Qi Chu?" Ke Weiqing asked in amazement, there was no sign of this!

"Hmph, that's just a tactic to delay the attack." Huang Ye sneered and said, "That old thief Qi Chu is very cunning, so he won't abide by any covenant. He just wants to stabilize Dayan temporarily. I want him to take it lightly and When it’s too late to hoard armaments, kill him by surprise!”

"Your Majesty, it's good to send troops to attack unexpectedly, but it's not good for your reputation if the troops come out of nowhere."

The whole world knows that Dayan and Nan Lie have been friends for a hundred years, how could they break the contract suddenly?It will do harm to the prestige and reputation of the Dayan Empire, but not any benefit!

"Don't worry about that, I have already received information that Qi Chu had a secret appointment with the emperor of the Feiyi Kingdom, and he successfully received 20 reinforcements from the Feiyi Kingdom. First, I sent out soldiers." Huang Ye said confidently.

Ke Weiqing suddenly realized why Huang Yehui uncharacteristically "agreed" to the peace talks.I remember when Huang Ye taught him the art of war when he was a child, he once said, "In the art of using war, the whole country is the first, and the second is to destroy the country..."

In other words, from the very beginning, Huang Yeda decided to completely occupy Nanlie's territory, not just half of the country.

But what Ke Weiqing didn't understand was, why did Huang Ye carry out such an important plan without telling him?And to ask him to seriously plan the peace talks, no, this is not only a concealment, but also a suspicion of "deception".

Huang Ye also allowed him to bring back the documents of the peace talks in person. This was probably to relax Qi Chu's vigilance. Even the "General" left the military important place and returned to the court to listen to the appreciation, so the peace talks must be real.

Needless to say, the several days of rewarding conferences and royal banquets were all just ecstasy formations set up to confuse the enemy's eyes and ears, to make the other party believe further that Emperor Dayan would never go to war again.

Ke Weiqing's lips lost their color, and his heart seemed to be filed back and forth with a knife.The two have been together for so long, does Huang Ye still not trust him?How could such an important matter not be revealed to him at all?Leave him defenseless.

Or is it that Huang Ye has already noticed his unruly intentions towards Huang Ye, so that's why he doesn't want to trust him? !

"What's the matter? Wei Qing." Sensing Ke Weiqing's gloomy expression, Huang Ye reached out and squeezed his jaw, "Don't worry about me, I will definitely return triumphant."

"Your majesty... why don't you let the last general lead the army?" Even though Huang Ye deceived him, Ke Weiqing was still worried about Huang Ye's safety, "The last general can..."

"You've been on the expedition for a long time, it's time to go home and take a rest, not to mention the affairs of the court, you need to come to sit in charge."

The so-called "kindness does not command soldiers", Huang Ye knew very well that Ke Weiqing's nature was extremely kind, and the next battle would be very tragic and might destroy the entire city, so he wanted Ke Weiqing to stay.

"emperor!"

"Okay, it's almost time, I have to get ready to go, otherwise, I will miss the job." Huang Ye let go of Ke Weiqing, and announced the prime minister and six deputy generals to come in to listen to the order.

Ke Weiqing had no choice but to kneel down, and Huang Ye also had a task for him, let him assist the prime minister and handle internal affairs, don't let those dark forces take advantage of it!

Just like Dayan has spies sent abroad, other countries have also thrown many spies in Dayan, waiting for opportunities to cause chaos. We should not take it lightly just because the current domestic situation is stable.

After explaining the matter, Huang Ye, accompanied by the lieutenant general, mounted his horse and set off.This time, there was no grandiose troop counting ceremony, and no civil and military officials chanted long live.The army methodically, like moving black clouds, quickly and quietly left the southern palace gate.

"The last general sends my emperor respectfully! Long live, long live, long live!" Ke Weiqing knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his hoarse voice was trembling all the time.

Huang Ye left, and while leading thousands of troops to the battlefield, he also took away Ke Weiqing's infinite concerns.

"Your majesty, I'm not afraid of being used or deceived by you, I'm afraid that I'm useless to you..." Therefore, no matter how Huang Ye treats himself, he has no complaints.

However, no matter how much he gave, in Huang Ye's eyes, it was as insignificant as sand and dust.

Because there is no shortage of loyal and courageous ministers around Huang Ye, and there is no shortage of people who warm the bed.Ke Weiqing couldn't help thinking, if he died in battle, would he leave a little trace in Huang Ye's heart?

But if that's the case, will we never see Huang Ye again?

Ke Weiqing was very contradictory and painful, his tears flowed silently in his heart, no one knew how much he loved Huang Ye...

※※※

In the desert in the morning, there was a severe chill. A vulture hovered in the gray sky for a long time, but couldn't find any prey. It made people feel that the world was vast, desolate and lonely.

Yonglin stood with his hands behind his back in the gray-white tarpaulin tent, looking at the morning glow and the soaring solitary eagle through the rolled-up cloth.In the past, he would splash ink with great interest to draw this natural scene, and add poems to have fun while suffering.

But now he can only think about whether he can train this ferocious eagle to serve as an outpost for the Witch Sparrow Army.

"My lord, you are up."

The door curtain was lifted, and Hong Liu, wearing coarse clothes and ponytail, walked in.He was quite tanned, but his eyes were sharper.

"Liu'er, didn't I tell you that you are now the leader of the Wuque Army, so you shouldn't dress like this."

Yong Lin frowned. He spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy thousands of good horses and cast iron weighing ten thousand catties. The righteous man intends to raise his troops to revolt.

However, he will not send troops in the name of "Prince Muren", that is to seek power and usurp the throne, and no one will respond.The name of his rebellion is to rehabilitate the Wuque clan and revive the refugees in the world.

The Wuque people are descendants of gods, so both men and women can give birth to life.This secret was widely circulated in the land of Dayan a hundred years ago, but later, especially in recent decades, with the demise of the Wuque clan, it became little known.

However, as long as he stirs up the flames, the rumors of the reappearance of this fairy clan will be known to everyone.Even the gods come forward to crusade against Chunyu Huangye, then the world is doomed to change hands, and the hearts of the people and the army will be shaken!

Although Yonglin has never fought a war, he also knows that the human heart is the most powerful weapon. As long as he has this, he will not be afraid of fighting with fewer enemies, and there will always be a chance of winning!

Of course, the time is not yet ripe. Although there is an extremely intelligent Hong Liu in the position of commander, if there is a real fight, only Ke Weiqing can command the entire army and compete with Dayan's elite soldiers.

Not only does Ke Weiqing hold a lot of military power, but he is also highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in the art of war. He also knows Chunyu Huangye very well, that is, knowing himself and the enemy, he can win a hundred battles without danger.

No matter what, Ke Weiqing must be brought here quickly, but he can't be too hasty.This will startle the snake, Huang Ye is not someone who is easily fooled, this is one of the reasons why Yonglin feels anxious, so when he looks at Hong Liu who has worked hard to lead the troops, he can still pick out the thorns.

"My lord, no matter how neatly dressed you are in this desert, you will be ashamed when the wind and sand blow." Hong Liu couldn't help but argue, "What's more, I'm also a temporary substitute. As long as General Ke comes, I will immediately put the The position was given to him."

"Oh, that's all." Yong Lin knew that Hong Liu was right, so he turned his face away and looked out of the window again.

"My lord, if it's okay, I'll lead the troops to practice first." Hong Liu would come here every morning to discuss some things with Yong Lin, but sometimes, the two of them didn't have much conversation.

"Wei Qing..." Yong Lin said suddenly, "He knows you are doing well, right?"

"Yes, I have already sent someone to bring a message to him, saying that we are with you, and we are still in Gaizhou." Leaving without saying goodbye made Ke Weiqing very worried. Hong Liu didn't know what to do, so Yong Lin asked him to send a message back. .

Soon, he received a reply from Ke Weiqing, saying that he was finally relieved, and apologized to Prince Muren for not taking good care of Liu'er, and also brought four pairs of shoes and socks, and a bag of silver taels.

All these things were sent to Gaizhou, and then moved here. Hong Liu said happily that the thick soles were all made by General Ke himself. The fine and solid sewing skills can be seen at a glance.

Yonglin is also very happy, which shows that Ke Weiqing's affection for Hongliu is already very deep, which makes him more moved.

After that, the Prince's Mansion in Gaizhou received letters and packages from Ke Weiqing from time to time.In the letter, he asked about Hong Liu's recent situation, and also asked the prince to pay more attention to his health. Although his childhood asthma had been cured, he couldn't ignore it completely.

There are also a few prescriptions sent with the letter, which are decocted for Yonglin. This kindness and consideration also made Yonglin want to see Ke Weiqing even more.

And Huang Ye is not worthy of having Ke Weiqing, Yonglin is very clear that in the eyes of the emperor brother, any beautiful things and intentions are empty, only the throne and power are the most important things.

These things, Yonglin is not rare, but he must first get them before he can get Ke Weiqing.

Yong Lin always felt that Ke Weiqing's loyalty to Huang Ye was only out of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, because Ke Weiqing was such an honest person, and he would not exceed the rules a little bit.

Thinking of this, Yonglin felt distressed, Ke Weiqing should have received the best treatment, not just the emperor's pawn and pet.

Therefore, he is now asking about things he already knows, but he just wants to get some comfort from those letters.

"Yes," Hong Liu didn't know this. He thought that Yonglin cared so much about Ke Weiqing and just wanted him to be General Wu Que earlier, and said, "It's still the same as before. General Ke thinks that we are living in Gaizhou. good."

"Well, that's good." Yonglin nodded. He is also a Wuque person, and Hongliu's appearance is also very outstanding, but he just can't like him. He just regards Hongliu as an important tool to get Ke Weiqing.

This may be a bit cruel to Hong Liu, but the relationship between the two parties is to take advantage of each other, so there is no need to worry about it.

"Then I'll retire first." Hong Liu turned and went out, thinking that he had to step up training and grow up quickly. He wanted Ke Weiqing to be surprised and overjoyed when he saw him again!

※※※

Nanlie Kingdom was completely merged into Dayan's territory. Qi Chu's defeat in battle took place in two months of the following year, and in March when the drizzle was falling, Emperor Dayan returned to the imperial court.

Ke Weiqing, the prime minister, and ministers of civil and military affairs went out of the city [-] miles to meet him, and then prepared a grand palace banquet to clean up the dust for the emperor and celebrate the victory!

At the banquet, the three most favored ladies in the harem, headed by Shuo Lan, let go of their dignified identities, and together with a thousand maids, arranged a magnificent and very beautiful feather fan dance, and sang the eternal hymn of the Great Yan together. The ostentation of the banquet reached an unprecedented grandeur.

Amidst the chiming of bells and drums, Chunyu Huangye suddenly announced that he would go on a spring trip on the fifth day of April, when the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

The Trip to Spring, also known as the Flower Festival, was supposed to be a grand garden tour held on February [-], but due to the war, it couldn't be held this year as scheduled. Huang Ye moved it to the present, which is naturally a happy event.

And "the flowers move towards the moon and the night, who can bear to miss each other without seeing each other", this festival full of laughter and laughter has been set up for "birth" since ancient times.

The God of Flowers is in charge of birth and birth in the world, and "early birth" and "multiple births" are not only the earnest hopes of ordinary people, but also the top priority of the royal family!

The emperor even took the initiative to bring up the spring festival and make up for the Flower Festival. This also shows that he finally has the idea of ​​having an heir. The ministers were all elated and responded one after another.

At this time, Concubine Lan Gui put on a low-key and shy look, she knew that Huang Ye would definitely appoint her to accompany her.

Sure enough, Huang Ye said that he would go to the newly built hot spring palace Yangchun Palace to spend this festival, and ordered Concubine Lan, Concubine Jin, and Concubine Li to accompany them.

He also asked Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to design and manufacture a large flower court sedan chair, so that the ladies can not only enjoy the scenery along the way together, but also avoid people's eyes and ears.

After thanking Long En, the ladies began to think about how to dress, how to attract the emperor, and how to suppress their opponents...

As the night gradually fell, Ke Weiqing still had military affairs to deal with, so he got up and left the table, asking the emperor to leave first.

"Come here," Huang Ye took his hand, ignoring the ambiguous gazes of others, leaned close to Ke Weiqing's ear, and whispered a few words.

Ke Weiqing froze, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and shook his head, as if politely rejecting the emperor, but the emperor did not let go. After a stalemate between the two sides for a while, Ke Weiqing had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Okay, you go down first." Huang Ye said with a smile, looking in a good mood.

"I will not resign," Ke Weiqing bowed and exited, but her heart was beating non-stop.Because Huang Ye just said that he really wanted to drive everyone away, and then make love with him in this hall.

Ke Weiqing naturally couldn't agree, and thought Huang Ye was drunk to say such bold words, Huang Ye said again, then let's give up tonight, but he must be on call during the Huachao Festival.

Thinking that the ladies will also go, Huang Ye may not have time to spend with her when she arrives, so Ke Weiqing agreed.It's not that I don't want to go to bed, but I'm afraid that every time I go to bed, I will only get regrets.

During the days when he was separated from Huang Ye, Ke Weiqing repeatedly suppressed his heart, he was afraid that Huang Ye would find out more secrets, that he, like the concubine, had a crazy jealous heart...

※※※

On the fifth day of April, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the willows spit green. On the way to Nanshan Yangchun Palace, azaleas are in full bloom, and birds are singing and flowers are fragrant everywhere. The spring is full of spring and the scenery is picturesque.

However, no matter how beautiful the surrounding scenery is, it is not as good as the emperor's procession. Teams of Luanyi guards held high the red lacquer and gold signboards, and walked in the front with their heads held high.

Then there is a pioneering band composed of large and small bronze horns and large and small bronze drums. The melodious melody is extremely beautiful. Behind the musicians in purple robes are elite infantry with long knives and bows. There are about 300 people, and their marching steps are extremely neat.

Behind is the team of eunuchs and palace maids, numbering 2000, each holding royal utensils, such as gold cups, gold bowls, gold fans, etc., or seasonal fruits used to sacrifice to the flower god.

The colorful and luxurious guard of honor stretches from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.The emperor and concubine's special carriage had just set foot on Nanshan Mountain, and behind them, there were three hundred armored cavalry.

This was the simplest ostentation when the emperor went out on a parade in the city. Originally, 2 people were required to accompany them, but they were all spared by Huang Ye.

The two Huachao sedan chairs are exquisitely and luxuriously made. The vermilion pillars and sedan walls are carved with patterns of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness. The eyes are inlaid with emerald gems, and the claws are made of jade. The workmanship is exquisite and lifelike.

The roof of the sedan chair is tall and imposing, and there are three openworked wheel windows, all of which are hung with pink gauze curtains.The inside cannot be seen from the outside, but those sitting in the sedan chair can clearly see the scenery of the mountains and fields.

These two big sedan chairs moved forward slowly one after the other. The front one was a glittering gold-topped sedan chair, pulled by eight horses. Naturally, it was the imperial chariot of the emperor; They are three well-dressed ladies.

They didn't talk to each other, they were looking at a window, but they were not looking at the scenery, they were just thinking about when they could go to the Yangchun Palace so that they could serve the emperor, or get summoned to sit in the same sedan chair with the emperor...

"—Ugh!"

When a gasp came out of his throat, Ke Weiqing's fingertips turned white, and he grabbed the yellow brocade pillow embroidered with dragon patterns even harder.

"No...!" Ke Weiqing snorted immediately, then opened his mouth and bit his bent knuckles, suppressing his panting.

"What's wrong? You can scream out." Huang Ye lay sideways behind Ke Weiqing, one arm was bent, supporting the upper body, and the other hand was stretched behind Ke Weiqing's buttocks, because it was covered by the wide sleeves, His movements became very subtle.

"...!"

Ke Weiqing shook his head and said no again. His ink-splashed long hair was lightly covered on his clean bare back, and like black brocade, it hung straight to his muscular waist and buttocks.

Compared with the emperor wearing a brocade robe embroidered with golden dragons on a black background, Ke Weiqing has been stripped naked, but there are still a pair of white cotton socks on his feet, and as he folded his knees, he moved forward impatiently , the socks kept rubbing against the golden upholstered car surface.

"Why do you think I want a band to accompany me?" Huang Ye whispered with a smile, looking over Ke Weiqing's handsome and flushed side face over the trembling shoulders.

"Hmm...?" The sound of drum music drifted with the wind from time to time, so it was like this, so that it could cover up the ear-warming sound in the sedan chair.

"If you understand, then call out loudly, I love to hear your call." Huang Ye moved her wrist again as she said, her sleeves pressed closer to her tight buttocks, Ke Weiqing's thick eyelashes trembled violently, There is some mist.

"No more... Your Majesty...!"

How did this happen? Ke Weiqing's head became confused, because he promised Huang Yehui to be "on call", so he has been riding Chiying, walking on the side of the golden-topped sedan chair.However, not long after leaving the imperial city, a beautiful window was gently pushed open, and Huang Ye ordered him to go up, saying that he wanted to play chess with him to relieve boredom.

Ke Weiqing ordered the chariot to stop, and after handing over the red shadow to a knight, he boarded the luxury sedan filled with incense.
