Shuoyun Feidu

Seeing Xu Ximei leave, Beitang Rongdu heaved a sigh of relief, relaxed his mind, and allowed himself to slowly paralyze his body, as if his entire spine had been taken out by someone, his whole body was so weak that he couldn't lift any strength , only the mind was still as clear as water. At this time, a long sigh came from the ear, a pair of strong arms hugged Beitang Rongdu tightly, supported his softened body, and let him lean in his arms. Tang Zun's gentle and complex eyes locked on Beitang Rongdu, and said softly: "...Okay, it's okay, I'm here, you don't have to worry about anything, don't think about anything , eh? Obediently, listen to daddy."

It wasn't cold in the study, but Beitang Rongdu shrank for no reason, as if the thin robe on his body was not enough to keep him warm, even his fingertips were cold, and he unconsciously snuggled up to Beitang. In Tang Zunyue's arms, Beitang Zunyue seemed to feel something, and hugged Beitang Rongdu tightly. He was wearing a thick, soft and light coat, which was warm, and Beitang Rongdu was wrapped in it. Expensive ambergris smelled from his clothes, and Beitang Rongdu leaned in front of the man. Only then did he feel that he was gradually warming up.

Beitang Zunyue's embrace was very warm and reliable, and at the same time exuded a faint good smell from the man, vaguely confusing. Beitang Rongdu didn't know why, but felt that he was very safe at the moment, and just about to speak, But suddenly he couldn't help coughing twice, Beitang Venerable Yue saw this, and stretched out his hand to pat him on the back, feeling annoyed and distressed at the same time, but because he was hindering Beitang Rongdu's affection, he had to suppress his anger , said: "...that woman is so presumptuous and bold. Could it be that she thinks that she is your elder, so she can admonish you casually? Although you are indeed her grandson, you are my Prince Daqing. Apart from me, who else is worthy to touch you? Even I myself was so angry that I hit you once or twice, how dare she touch you!"

As Beitang Zunyue said, his chest filled with anger, and he wanted to lift Beitang Rongdu's face for a closer look, but Beitang Rongdu subconsciously lowered his head and struggled gently in the man's arms. Then he turned around slightly, refused to look at Beitang Zunyue again, just turned his back to this person, knowing that the other person was behind him, but he didn't know why he suddenly didn't want to meet Beitang Zunyue at this moment, There seemed to be something in the mouth of the throat, which was uncomfortably blocked, and the sigh and grievance in his eyes could not be concealed any longer. The Beitang Venerable was startled, and then he surrounded Beitang Rongdu from behind, and comforted him very softly. : "... Changsheng, what's wrong?"

Such an intimate and friendly tone, such a title that only one person is qualified to call, people will fall into it if they don't pay attention, and they will never be able to climb ashore again... Beitang Rongdu's nose twitched slightly, and his nose Sour, no matter how much he tried to hide the sense of disappointment in his voice, he couldn't hide it, so he just whispered: "I have nothing... nothing wrong." Putting one hand on Beitang Rongdu's shoulder, the other hand was gently stroking Beitang Rongdu's hair. The shiny black hair was as soft as black satin, hanging behind him, slender by Beitang Zunyue. His five fingers were combed as smoothly as water, and Beitang Zunyue's voice was very gentle, with a bit of annoyance in it, he said: "...just now you just refused to be with me, and insisted on talking with that woman alone, Don’t you want to take advantage of yourself? If I’m by your side, how can she move a single hair of yours!” As he spoke, he held Beitang Rongdu’s shoulders with both hands, and with a single effort, his body was forced to the ground Pulling it over, Beitang Rongdu had to face himself, and then held Beitang Rongdu's face with his hands, annoyed and pitying: "Let me take a closer look and see how that wicked woman put you How did you get beaten... this inexplicable shrew."

Beitang Rongdu was unilaterally hooped by Beitang Zunyue, and a powerful big hand held his face half-forcibly, preventing him from avoiding it, so he could only remain silent, Ren Beitang Zunyue looked carefully, Beitang Zunyue The sharper eyes lingered on Beitang Rongdu's face, and saw a clear slap mark on one side of the originally white face, which was very red, and a line was cut by a fingernail. Although the wound was not too deep, it still oozes a little blood, Beitang Zunyue saw this, his eyes were full of hostility, and he said coldly: "...this wicked woman is merciless , aren't you her grandson, you can do it!" After that, he was half distressed and half blamed, and lightly reprimanded: "And you, could it be that you are a fool, she wants to beat you, don't you Just let her beat you upright? Even if you don't want to fight her, can't you even dodge her?"

But Master Beitang cursed more and more, his son still felt sorry for him after all, holding Beitang Rongdu's beaten face, sticking out his scarlet tongue, earnestly licking away some blood on the wound, which also wet the scratched face With broken skin, in an instant, Beitang Zun let go of Beitang Rongdu in his arms, and shook his lover's hand. All the infinite anger and hostility were forcibly suppressed, and he said in a pitiful tone: "It's my fault, Letting you be beaten by others... is because she is your grandmother, otherwise how can I let it go?"

The smell of ambergris came from the man's body, and Beitang Rongdu paused for a moment in a daze, looking at Beitang Zunyue in front of him. Compared with before, this man hardly changed in appearance, only The corners of the eyes added a bit of majesty, and the eyes became deeper. With the snap of the fingers, the time they spent together has passed for several years, and the passing years have changed their appearance and thoughts. The boy has grown into the young man he is now, and the only thing that remains the same is Beitang Zunyue, who is still the same as before, but the identities of each other have also undergone earth-shaking changes. I never believed that I would really fall in love with anyone , but the hand of time is so miraculous, from the hesitation when we joined hands at the beginning, to the ignorance and unconsciousness that people gradually entered into the heart, until today, the identity of Beitang Zunyue has also been unknown from the beginning. The Lord of the Fortress transitioned to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and at the same time, there was an invisible gap between the two due to many external factors.

Beitang Rongdu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand slightly to caress Beitang Zunyue's face. He knew that this person was the emperor and the son of heaven. It is determined by the character and the status you are in, but I always care about it in my heart, and I can't let it go. Such contradictory moods and obsessions leave me with no other way to go, and I can't find it. If there is a better way, some people may think that his power in Beitang Rongdu has reached such a height now, what is there to be dissatisfied with, but only God knows, he is not really eager to get to that position , but wants to use that position to get rid of the long-standing heavy burden--only this man is what he really wants!

Beitang Rongdu's outstretched hand touched the man's face, Beitang Zunyue paused slightly, then firmly grasped the hand, pressed it against his cheek, letting the soft palm feel intimate with him Contact, Beitang Rongdu frowned slightly at this time, like a child who has been greatly wronged, and pressed his thin lips tightly, the more Beitang Zun saw this, the anger disappeared without a trace , gently stroking Beitang Rongdu's shoulder with one hand, and sighed lowly: "...It's my fault, I made you wronged, huh? I promise, there will be no next time in the future, and I will not allow it again No one is allowed to embarrass you because of this matter." Beitang Zunyue said, staring at his lover for a while, and asked: "Did that woman hit you just now? Show me...be obedient. Beitang Rongdu shook his head slightly, and said: "No... I'm fine." Even so, the corners of his eyes were still red, and he silently leaned on Beitang Zunyue's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "...grandmother said , there is no man in the Beitang family who is in love forever, if I am obsessed with my obsession, I will be the only one who will suffer in the end." Beitang Zun listened more and unexpectedly did not open his mouth to refute Xu Ximei's words , but with a slight force of arms, he wrapped his arms around Beitang Rongdu's waist, preventing him from leaving even a bit, and said: "Then, I just ask you, Changsheng, can you trust me?" Beitang Rongdu slowly closed his eyes. Eyes, with an inexplicable delicate mood, I just feel that many worries are unnecessary, and there is no reason to restrain myself, and said: "I believe in you, and I also believe in myself."

Beitang Zun Yue heard the words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the meaning of satisfaction could be discerned in that inconspicuous smile. He gently hugged Beitang Rongdu with his arms, kissed that smooth cheek, and earnestly told Said: "Let's ignore others, let others say whatever they want, let them go, only you and I are together is true." For a moment, as if thinking of something again, he held up Beitang Rongdu Pressing his thumb on the other's rosy lips and slowly rubbing his rosy lips, his eyes became more and more affectionate, and he said: "When I came over just now, I vaguely heard you saying to that woman, if you can't stay with me If you grow old, you will never be happy in your life...Since you have such a heart, how can I be willing to let you down." Beitang Rongdu was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he lowered his eyes and remained silent, so speechless and confused Seeing this, Beitang Zunyue lightly pecked his lips twice, and said in a low voice: "For your sake, I don't care about what happened with her today, you Don't take this matter to heart, huh? Can you hear me clearly?" Beitang Rongdu slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "I'm already such a big person, there is nothing I haven't seen What else would I care about after suffering? I wouldn’t take it all to my heart...don’t worry.”

Beitang Rongdu said, caressing Beitang Zunyue's strong arm, he obviously didn't care much about other people's eyes, but he was reprimanded by someone close to him, his own grandmother, but there was still a little bit of sadness in his heart Twitching pain, but still maintained a calm expression on his face, and said slowly: "...even if others do, I will do it for you even if it is not for myself. I will never listen to anyone who says or does anything." Li, I will do what I promised you, Erlang, you don’t have to worry.” He coughed twice as soon as he finished speaking, Beitang Zun Yue patted him on the back lightly, Said: "Let's go, I will give you medicine when you go back, your face is a little swollen." Beitang Rongdu touched his still hot cheek, nodded, and followed Beitang Zunyue back to the bedroom.

After a long while, there was a slight smell of medicine in the hall. Beitang Zunyue sat in front of the bed, holding a porcelain bowl full of dark medicine juice in his hand, and was feeding Beitang the hot soup with a silver spoon. Tang Rongdu drank it, and Beitang Rongdu had already applied the ointment for reducing swelling and pain on his face at this time, and his hot cheeks felt much cooler. He sat leaning against the head of the bed, frowning and swallowed a spoonful of the ointment that was handed to him in front of him. The medicinal juice, warm liquid flowed from the throat into the abdomen, and immediately said: "Bitter..." Beitang Zunyue's face was extremely gentle, and he said patiently: "I have a cough problem, don't you know, good medicine tastes bitter, Finish it soon." Beitang Rongdu didn't say anything else, he drank the soup in one gulp, Beitang Zunyue reached out and took a silk to wipe the corner of his mouth, said: "...the medicine has soothing effect Something for meditation, do you want to lie down for a while?" Beitang Rongdu grabbed a corner of the other party's sleeve, looked at Beitang Zunyue: "Then you stay here with me..."

"I won't go anywhere." Beitang Zunyue put down the empty bowl, and covered Beitang Rongdu with a quilt: "...Lie down well, and I will talk with you." Beitang Rongdu hummed, and the two were quiet In contrast, there was silence for a while, except for the bright sunlight outside the hall and the occasional sound of wind.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

The winter snow was falling lightly, covering the entire majestic imperial city. Inside and outside of Shangjing, there was a snow-covered world, a world covered in silver makeup.

After going down to court, Master Beitang went back to the palace and changed into casual clothes. After eating a few pieces of snacks, he began to review the official documents. Snowflakes fell outside, like shredded cotton, falling silently, and there were not many left in the pavilion. Of the people serving at the side, only Beitang Rongdu was still wearing heavy court clothes, pouring tea and grinding ink for Beitang Zunyue, and doing some chores. The two of them were quietly together, which was considered comfortable.

At this time, the room is heating, and the earth dragon in the warm pavilion is too hot, and the whole pavilion is full of heat. Beitang Rongdu is wearing a complicated and luxurious robe, almost sweating, rubbing ink on his hands As soon as he let go of his things, he fanned his face with his hand and said, "...it's too hot here, it's no worse than the weather in June." Beitang Zun Yue raised his eyes when he heard the words, and smiled dumbly, Slowly sipping tea, he tilted his head and said to him: "That's because you were wearing too much clothes, so you just took them off?" Beitang Rongdu rubbed his face, frowned and said, "I don't want to take off, This layer of clothes is layer upon layer, and it’s so troublesome to wear, I’d rather keep myself warm.” After saying that, he went to soak a towel in water, twisted it, and wiped his face again, but suddenly Beitang Zunyue Said: "...you come here, I want to wipe it too." Beitang Rongdu heard this, turned around and glanced at the other party, and could only mutter: "I'm not the one to serve you, why do you want me to serve you? Hypocritical. "

Beitang Rongdu rewound the wet towel, walked back and passed it to Beitang Zunyue to wipe his face, but Beitang Zunyue didn't move at all, he didn't have the slightest sense of self-consciousness, just sat upright like a mountain, Shi Shiran ordered: "...you come." Beitang Rongdu couldn't help laughing, pursed his lips and said: "You have hands and feet, forget about being lazy." Then, he took a towel and wiped the other party carefully Turning his face, Beitang Venerable shook his hand more, and only smiled with a 'chi', and said: "You unfilial thing, you started complaining before I asked you to feed and water."

Sandalwood was burning in the big cauldron in the corner, and it diffused into the surrounding air faintly. When it was heated by the heat, it turned into an intoxicating warm fragrance. After passing it all over, Beitang Rongdu lightly picked the man's nails, lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, and said, "If you get sick one day, I will naturally feed you and take care of you, but the problem is, Your body is as strong as a cow, so it's no wonder you can get sick." Beitang Zunyue raised his hand and knocked Beitang Rongdu on the forehead, and said with a smile: "...you dare to compare me with a beast On the same level?" Beitang Rongdu raised his head, covered his forehead, and said angrily: "I'm not a child anymore, you are not allowed to knock on my forehead, hit me on the head and so on, until now I haven't grown up. You are so tall, it must be because you always like to hit me on the head, so you grow slowly." Beitang Zunyue looked at Beitang Rongdu with a smile on his face, and said with a light smile: "...Nonsense, this is not related to me. It doesn't matter, it must be because you are picky eaters and don't like to eat, you deserve it."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, Beitang Rongdu stood in front of the case, and sorted out the official documents he had read for Beitang Zunyue. He caught a glimpse of the contents of an open booklet and smiled: "This year is indeed It's a bit cold, and this soup kitchen should build a few more places to help some poor people overcome their difficulties." Beitang Zunyue smiled slightly, pinched Beitang Rongdu's fingers, and teased: "In the final analysis, you are actually the The rich man, I’m afraid he’s richer than me, so I’ll leave things like gruel and relief to you.” Beitang Rongdu didn’t care, and responded casually, and Beitang Zunyue continued to deal with official duties for a while. , Beitang Rongdu walked under the south window, fed a red-billed parrot, and while teasing the bird with his hands, he said: "What do you think of what was said at the court meeting today? According to me, it should be the same gone."

Buddhism is very popular nowadays, but it was not in the past. Now that the Daqing founding of the People's Republic of China, people's lives are gradually becoming more comfortable, and more people are willing to burn incense and worship Buddha. Some dignitaries also donate incense to temples from time to time. Many Buddhist temples have their own The land and property also attracted many poor people to return to their own families, making them rely on farming the land of the temple for a living. During the period, the temple would also train monks. In the hall, there were ministers who gave a tribute, and because the temples occupy a vast area and have accumulated military power and wealth, they suggested that Beitang Zunyue suppress them, otherwise disasters may happen in the future.

"...I don't have a good impression of those bald monks. There are thousands of Buddhist temples across the country, more than [-] monks, and millions of believers. As the Son of Heaven, how can I allow this kind of power to develop?" Beitang Zunyue put down his pen and wiped his hands with a wet towel: "It is imperative for me to free up my hands now to suppress these people, otherwise how can I let them have soldiers in the temple and develop believers... so, what It’s not to plant a hidden danger for myself.” At this time, Beitang Rongdu in front of the window was pinching a few melon seeds and teasing the parrot to peck at them. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and said, “I know you have always hated monks, but it’s been so many years Could it be that you haven’t forgotten that incident?” The incident that Beitang Rongdu was referring to was the old incident that the monk Kongzhen of Poluo Temple wanted to imprison him on the mountain. However, Beitang Zunyue was furious, and broke into the Boluo Temple alone, not only killed the monks in the temple, but also abolished Kongzhen's cultivation, captured him alive and returned to Wushe Castle, and locked him in the dungeon. How much favor.

"...I have always held grudges, so why would I forget so easily." Beitang Zunyue got up and walked behind Beitang Rongdu, and put his arms around his lover's waist: "...if the old monk really succeeded, he would put you under house arrest , then I am not alone now, where can I find you?" As he spoke, as if thinking of something, he asked: "By the way, how is this bald donkey now? If you didn't say that he was just a victim If someone instigated him, and there was no need to hurt his life, I would have finished this meddling old guy with a palm." Beitang Rongdu turned his head, glanced at Beitang Zunyue, and said: "Last summer, Kongzhen passed away in prison, he is already so old, his life span is over." Bei Tangzun listened more, raised his eyebrows, and snorted: "...It's good for him."

Beitang Rongdu smiled and said: "Okay, actually he's not a villain, it's just that he has a different standpoint, he's just an old monk who has passed away, why are you still talking about the past?" Tang Zunyue asked, "Now that you've come to this point, what are you going to do? Now that the world has not been stable for a long time, it is really not suitable for any kind of fighting. Although it is inevitable to suppress these monks, there is no need to get bloody." , besides, those are all from the Buddhist sect, so it’s better to leave some leeway.” Beitang Zun Yue lightly bit his lover’s lips, and said with a half-smile: “I’m not a bloodthirsty person. Is it possible to kill people?... I have already thought about it, these monasteries must limit the land. Since they are monks, the four natures are naturally empty, and it is enough to leave them with self-sufficient land that is enough to eat, and let them farm the land themselves. Go, the rest, all the books will be allocated to the poor according to the head, and pilgrims are not allowed to donate land and property, only the money of sesame oil is allowed, how about it? In this way, these monks can no longer live freely, even if some people want to evade corvee taxes in the future How many monks can they accept? I'm not afraid of not having enough food!" After hearing this, Beitang Rongdu couldn't help laughing and said, "You are really bad... However, many monasteries have They have accumulated a lot of property, although the fields have decreased, it may not be affected much for a period of time, so I have an idea, what do you think."

Beitang Rongdu's eyes turned slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "In the past, it was very easy to become a monk. Almost anyone can do it. Then, in the future, we will set a limit for them. Anyone who wants to become a monk must set up a unified examination. There are special personnel to check whether these people understand the Buddhist scriptures. The questions must be of a certain degree of difficulty. If you find out, you will be arrested and enslaved immediately." These words have basically cut off more than [-]% of the source of monks. A person who is familiar with Buddhist scriptures is naturally literate and has read certain books. People already have the qualifications to take the imperial examinations. If so, how many people want to become monks?

Beitang Zunyue heard his lover's idea, he couldn't help laughing, raised his hand to scratch the bridge of Beitang Rongdu's nose, and said teasingly: "You said I'm bad enough, isn't it possible that you are much worse than me? I am just clearly restricting, but you are using a soft knife to draw the bottom line." Beitang Rongdu sneered, and said: "I learned from you, you are my father, so naturally you put I was born like this." The two chatted and laughed for a while, and at noon, Beitang Rongdu and Beitang Zunyue had lunch before returning to the East Palace.

The snow had stopped in the afternoon, Beitang Rongdu got up after taking a nap, and started to deal with official documents. After the sun gradually set and the sky darkened, he asked someone to hold a lamp in his hand, and for a while Beitang Rongdu stood in front of the long window , Seeing that there were sporadic snowflakes falling outside again, he stretched out his hand, and soon some snowflakes fell into the palm of his white palm, and immediately melted into water droplets. The serving eunuch said: "...Is there any Qing Han on duty today?" The eunuch bowed slightly, and replied respectfully: "If you go back to Your Highness, Master Mu is indeed on duty today." Said: "In this case, you go and let him come here. It's cold and snowing now, let the kitchen set up a hot pot, let him eat here, and warm his body."

The eunuch agreed, and immediately turned around and went out. After a while, Mu Qinghan came in from the outside wrapped in a black fox cloak. Beitang Rongdu pointed at the steaming pot on the table and smiled. He laughed and said: "It's cold, so it's most comfortable to eat some hot pot. Gu has already had someone boil a pot of wine for you. You can drink some later. As for Gu himself, it's not suitable to drink in winter, so I won't drink with you." With a smile on Mu Qinghan's face, he said: "...Okay." The two immediately divided their priorities and sat down.

The snow fell quietly outside the window, and the fine silver charcoal in the charcoal basin was burning until it was steaming. Combined with the steam from the hot pot, it made the warm pavilion very hot. Beitang Rongdu was wearing a homely flat satin tuanlong robe, looking more and more beautiful. They looked like crowns of jade, and the two chatted happily while eating. At this moment, there was only a sound of hurried footsteps approaching outside. Gu Xing opened the curtain and came in without notification, and said in a deep voice: "... Lord, just now there is news that the man has appeared, and the eyeliner planted at the foothold is watching the movement, waiting for the Lord to make a decision."

As soon as this remark came out, the chopsticks in Beitang Rongdu's hand suddenly stopped, and then his eyes shone brightly, he sneered and said: "Very well, this person is like a stick in the throat to Yu Gu, if you don't get rid of it... tonight, Just go and meet him for a while."
