Shuoyun Feidu

Beitang Rongdu tapped the cold gold handrail with his fingers, a trace of determination flashed in his cold eyes, and he said slowly: "You don't have to worry about this problem, Gu has already made preparations, father, he... Gu has his own ideas, if it weren't for him How can Gu be a reckless person if he has a perfect plan?" When he said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and he pursed his lips lightly, as if he couldn't hide a certain emotion in his heart, but his face still remained He had a peaceful expression, but the more so, the more this kind of weird contrast made people feel a slight chill in his heart. Yin Zhibai's thoughts suddenly changed, as if he had guessed a bit, and the brows that were furrowed for a while slowly relaxed, Then he slightly nodded with relief, and immediately said decisively: "Since this is the case, it has solved a big problem...but I worry too much." Beitang Rongdu exhaled lightly, and stood up from the throne room , he stood with his hands behind his back, and paced in the hall: "It's okay, you are all clear about your concerns, and I know that although there are people in Gu's hands, if it is true, there are many people in the army who followed the father. After all, most of them came out of Unsheltered Fort back then, they were old people in the fort, as long as Father is able to get away, he can quickly gather these people together in a short period of time and get their strong support."

At this moment when Beitang Rongdu said this, he didn't know if he was feeling emotional, but he suddenly felt that there was something weird about him, and for a moment he lightly raised the corners of his red lips, and said with some self-mockery: "But Gu has already made preparations." , Gu, a son, has never been a...hehe!" He spoke in an obscure, somewhat nonsensical manner, making it hard to understand what he meant, but Yin Zhibai seemed to understand it. What was contained in it, there was a strange look on the handsome face, which was fleeting, and the previously faintly worried eyes also turned into something inexplicable, and sighed: "Your Highness..."

Beitang Rongdu waved his hands casually, and walked a few steps on the smooth ground. His eyes passed through the not-so-bright candlelight, staring at the night outside the hall for a long time, staring at the distance under the night. In front of a person's most instinctive desires and desires, many things can only face the situation of either giving way or being crushed into mud. These things even include some things that I have always cherished in my heart. , It seems that there is always an irresistible destiny in this world, and there is always a hand manipulating something somewhere. Emotions are ugly, and so are desires... Beitang Rongdu said calmly: "This time I am determined to win, Either you win or you lose! If you lose, hehe...that can only be considered as a bad luck! If it happens, then..." Beitang Rongdu spoke slowly, his expression unpredictable, that delicate face In the morning, he had shed the youthfulness of his youth, and he did not know when it had become a little more difficult to guess. When he said these words, there was a flash of light in his two blue eyes. Yin Zhibai is not very familiar with a certain kind of crazy color, and the meaning is unclear.Suddenly, the young man's face flushed slightly, obviously a little excited, he coughed a little, and said: "If the matter fails, as for myself, I know it well, it's better to be a vassal king, and experience the wealth of the idler." The worst day in the world is to be deposed as a commoner and imprisoned...Father, he will not really want to die alone, but you..." Beitang Rongdu suddenly coughed violently, his cheeks were flushed, but fortunately Soon he stopped coughing, took out a snow-white brocade handkerchief from his arms and wiped his mouth, then looked at Yin Zhibai and Yin Zhibai casually, and said in a very flat tone: "But you, there will be no So lucky, at that time, all those who stand alone will be affected, of course, including your wealth, future, and even life, this is certain."

When Beitang Rongdu said this, his blue eyes almost imperceptibly became a little hollow and a little dazed. He seemed to be muttering something to himself, but soon he smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head. , but I heard Yin Zhibai say: "Since the ministers have already attached themselves to His Highness, their wealth and life have already been linked to His Highness. If His Highness goes further, everyone will naturally rise. If Your Highness... Hey! A risky thing?" If someone else were to ask such a heart-wrenching question, they might not dare to answer it truthfully, but at this moment, if Yin Zhibai didn't open up the words cleanly, then he was not worthy of it. He was valued by Beitang Rongdu and leaned on his arm. Now Yin Zhibai looked at Beitang Rongdu. The young man in front of him had a certain dark temperament than his father Beitang Zunyue. That person would give people a sense of heaviness. Beitang Rongdu is much more depressed and darker.

Yin Zhibai suddenly smiled, and then gave a slight salute to Beitang Rongdu: "...Since the time we met, I have always had confidence in Your Highness." Gu Xing also said in a deep voice: "...this time The leader of the matter has informed his subordinates, and everything is only obeying the orders of the Lord." Beitang Rongdu smiled lightly and said nothing, just kept pacing slowly, looking very strange, and it was completely impossible for outsiders to understand. Not very bright, just lit a few candles, and the candle flames hopped and hopped, faintly emitting light and heat, but Yin Zhibai suddenly said with worry on his face: "It's just the Imperial Guards and so on, the forces in Beijing may... ...There are not a few people who have always been loyal to the emperor. Not to mention the 3 Dongying guards stationed outside the capital, even in the capital, there are more than [-] guards. Take control." After hearing this, Beitang Rongdu returned to a calm expression, looked at Yin Zhibai and Gu Xing gently, and said with a slight smile: "Well, I have been prepared for this a long time ago, so there is no need to worry about it... just rest assured , these things are not a problem! Zhong Yu, since you are here, you can come out."

Before the words were finished, there seemed to be a voice in the small room behind the curtain, and soon, a young man wearing a crimson silk woven turtleneck robe came out of the shadows. This man's hair was black and shiny, gathered in a golden crown , with a solemn face, only when he looked at Beitang Rongdu in the palace, a strange expression flashed in his eyes. Yin Zhibai's eyes froze when he saw this person at first sight, and after a while, he let out a breath slowly, Obviously understood something, said: "Gong Jiahou?...So that's the case." Then, he smiled slightly at the man, cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that Lord Hou is also a person of the same way. If this is the case, then things will be much safer gone."

It was Zhong Yu who came, and he walked in slowly, seeing Yin Zhibai like this, he cupped his hands and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, you are welcome." Yin Zhibai was secretly amazed that Rongdu in Beitang was hiding so deeply, it turned out that his hands He still held such a hole card in his hands and never revealed it until the last moment. Even a cronies like himself didn't know it. Showing off his face, he turned to Beitang Rongdu and said: "...I was a little worried at first, but now it seems that His Highness has already planned, and Zhizhu is already in his hands." At this time Beitang Rongdu listened, and suddenly laughed After a while, he flicked his extremely delicately manicured nails lightly, his mind had returned to his previous state, and said: "Zhong Yu is in charge of the Imperial Army in Beijing, if he wasn't there, Gu would not have acted rashly. "Beitang Rongdu said these words lightly, then walked back to the throne and sat down again, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he didn't even have the last bit of hesitation, he looked at Zhong Yu and the others, Immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "I'll tell you, these things don't just sit here and talk casually. At that time..."

In the faint candlelight, Beitang Rongdu caressed the golden armrest, and said lightly: "... But don't overestimate those people, the father does have a lot of usable chess pieces, but don't forget, those Although people are loyal to their father, they are not united. There are conflicts of interests between them, and there are many hills. Of course, as long as the father is here, it is not difficult to suppress these people to death, but , as long as the father is not around, how can they cooperate sincerely? At that time, even if someone sends troops under the slogan of protecting the king, they will be in charge of their own families, and they will not be able to get together. , when the time comes when there is a card in the lone hand, the overall situation will be settled, and no one will be able to make any waves."

Zhong Yu suddenly said: "...What Your Highness said is very true. Although most of the generals who hold the military power are loyal to the emperor, if the emperor can't escape smoothly and summon the army in the name of King Qin, then I believe there will be no stubbornness Even if you take a step back and say that someone is really loyal to this point, it is hard to say whether the other party can come forward and successfully mobilize the troops in his hands... After all, if the overall situation is determined, no one is in charge. A reckless person who forcibly commits danger, even if there is a prestige general in the army, can he be able to accomplish things with a single call? At that time, the capital will be under the control of His Highness."

"...What's more, there are subordinates and others in His Highness' hands." Gu Xing, who had been silent all this time, also said solemnly: "His Highness has been working hard for many years. They have gathered experts one after another, and now there are 8000 people on standby in the capital. They will take action to deal with all emergencies when His Highness gives an order. Some local armed forces take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and want to take advantage of the changes in the capital to take advantage of the troubled waters, and they can be suppressed and wiped out immediately! The other secret agents who are lurking around the generals who lead troops to guard the various places have also received secret orders. Once the target has a different intention, If there is a sign of raising troops, immediately control the target to ensure the stability of the army and prevent chaos."

"Very good." Beitang Rongdu suddenly laughed, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he slapped the smooth handrail with his right hand, and his voice came out faintly: "Gu has spent so much effort for so many years. , How could it be in vain? After all, it comes in handy now!" In fact, apart from the power of the court, Beitang Rongdu also holds another card in his hand. The hole card that came out was that Beitang Rongdu had already started to build his own power since he left Unsheltered Fort. Now, after all these years, and Xu Ximei had already handed over all the staff of Moyue Sect in the Central Plains to him. Now it has developed into an extremely huge force, all in the hands of Beitang Rongdu, otherwise the business under Beitang Rongdu can be said to be all over the world, what does he need so much money for?Most of it is to support these people!

At present, the monarchs and ministers had a long time of secret talks in the hall, after which Yin Zhibai and the others resigned one after another, and went to make intensive preparations for their respective duties, only Beitang Rongdu was left sitting alone in the hall with his eyes closed, as if Feigning sleep, but seeing the faint candlelight, his face was cloudy and uncertain.Suddenly, a faint scent penetrated into the nostrils, Beitang Rongdu slowly opened his eyes, and said: "...Do you still want to persuade me? But you have clearly stated your position before, and you will fully support me This action, isn't it?"

The woman in front of her has a long skirt that reaches the floor, and she is very graceful, who else would it be if it wasn't Xu Ximei?At this time, she frowned slightly: "I just don't think you have to act like this, after all, that position will be yours after all, but..." Xu Ximei sighed lightly, and said calmly: "But I am your grandmother after all, Rongdu, no matter what you are going to do, grandma will always be by your side."

Beitang Rongdu's heart warmed slightly, and he was about to say something, but Xu Ximei said seriously: "Then, once the matter is settled, what are you going to do with Beitang Zunyue? This person..." Beitang Rongdu raised his head hand, interrupting Xu Ximei's words: "I already have a plan, anyway... After all, I am sorry for him." When Beitang Rongdu said this, it seemed that there was something hard to detect. , the snow-white cheeks trembled, sadness, joy, cold and heat, etc. These completely different complex emotions are intertwined, constantly changing in those eyes that are still as clear as spring water--people are humble and insignificant in this world. , longing for many things deep in my heart, but often can only be content with my own destiny, everyone will have a war of their own, many people will become weak when facing these, want to escape, or even send Looking at the unknown future, full of chances, but if a person really wants to become stronger, wants to control himself and other people, but he can only rely on himself to make decisions with actions, otherwise he is only worthy of being Fate is at the mercy of fate, and he, Beitang Rongdu, is naturally not reconciled to this. He wants to control his life and happiness.

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

In the early morning of the second day, Beitang Rongdu got up early to wash and change his clothes. While arranging his belt meticulously, he said to Cuiping next to him, "Gu won't come back at noon, and the cook doesn't need to fix things anymore." Cuiping said softly In response, Beitang Rongdu didn't ask anyone to prepare a car for a while, and he just rode a horse lightly and quickly towards the west gate of the palace, the sun was shining on his body, and it was warm.

Someone was already waiting there, and Beitang Zunyue waited quietly under a secluded wall, one person and one horse. At this time, the air was clear and the breeze was refreshing, and Beitang Rongdu took a long breath on the horseback , I just felt my heart clear for a while, and a bright smile appeared on my face. With my legs lightly clamping the horse's belly, I rode the horse and ran quickly, and said with a smile: "...have you been waiting for a long time? I am late Is it?" Beitang Zun Yue smiled slightly, adding a bit of charm: "I just came here, and you came at the right time."

"I also don't think I'm late. I woke up very early today." Beitang Rongdu reined in his horse, and the white horse stopped in front of Beitang Zunyue. Soft as a spring willow that has just pulled out a twig: "Let's go then, today we agreed to go shopping with you for a day." Beitang Zun Yue sneered, turned his horse's head and said: "I don't have a tael of silver on me. Take it." Beitang Rongdu was surprised when he suddenly said such a sentence, and then he laughed and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm treating you today." So the father and son walked out of the city talking and laughing all the way. , The warm wind is blowing, which makes people feel very comfortable.

It was the time of busy farming, and busy farmers could be seen everywhere in the fields in the suburbs of the capital. The two rode forward slowly on horseback. As father and son, they seldom go out of the city, but today they came out like this. Let's take a look, relax, and look at this busy and fulfilling scene all the way, but I am in a happy mood and very happy, so both sides have a relaxed look on their faces. In fact, this is Beitang Zhuangzi under Rongdu's name, at first glance, is full of fertile fields. Beitang Rongdu is also a little happy when he sees the farmers working hard. It seems that this year's harvest should not be bad. Beitang Zunyue and Beitang Rong It's easy for Du and Du to come out today. One has an ordinary appearance, the other is a little more handsome, and he is dressed like an ordinary rich man's son, and he doesn't attract much attention when he comes here. In the sky, Beitang Zunyue's eyes fell on the front, and he saw that the land was open and flat, and the fields were criss-crossed. From time to time, farmers walked by leading their cattle, which formed a beautiful picture of prosperity. I don't know how many rich and extravagant scenes I have seen, but I still can't help feeling relaxed and happy at this moment.

From time to time, some ducks and geese could be seen waddling by. Beitang Rongdu simply got off his horse and walked on foot with Beitang Zunyue, leading the horse. While talking, Beitang Zunyue walked leisurely, holding Holding the rein in his hand, he smiled contentedly and said, "I seldom come to this kind of place, and once in a while, it's a change of mood." Beitang Rongdu waved a golden fan, and the white horse followed him around. After listening to Beitang Zunyue's words, he turned his face to the man and said with a smile: "...This is not easy? When do you want to relax, then I will accompany you out of the palace, wherever you go. Good." As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, as if he was looking at Beitang Zunyue or himself: "I will always be with you... ..."

But Beitang Zunyue didn't realize it, he took Beitang Rongdu's soft palm with one hand, and said, "It's been so long since I've been out, it seems that it's almost noon, are you hungry?" Rubbing his belly, he smiled: "...Hey, isn't it! If you don't say anything, Dad, I don't think so much. I just came out to play with you, talking and laughing together, and I didn't feel hungry. , Now that you mention it like this, there will be a famine in this Wu Zang Temple." Beitang Zunyue's big hand rubbed the top of the young man's head, just like when he was a child, full of love, he smiled and said: "Then find Let’s take a rest somewhere, at least to fill your stomach.”

The two led the horses and walked slowly along the road, and finally stopped in front of a farm house. This family seemed to be richer and cleaner than ordinary farmers. Yinzi took a break at this farmhouse for a while.

The horses were taken to be fed. The owner of the house saw that although the two strangers who came to the door were very ordinary in appearance, they were clearly dressed as sons and daughters of a rich family. In the most spacious room, guests are invited to go in and rest. Beitang Zunyue and Beitang Rongdu entered the inner room. Although the room is simple, it is still clean. An eight or nine-year-old boy timidly brings in two cups of tea. , Beitang Rongdu casually took out a small plum-blossom silver box and handed it to him. The boy's eyes widened immediately, but he hesitated to accept it. The bag was put into the boy's hand, and the boy accepted it hesitantly, his eyes glowed with excitement, he thanked him immediately, and then trotted out happily.

Beitang Zunyue had already taken off his boots at this time, and was sitting on the kang wearing snow-white brocade socks. Seeing this scene, he casually smiled and said, "...you are generous enough." Beitang Rongdu also got on the kang, hearing Yan smiled slightly and said: "I suddenly thought, if I was born in such a family, I don't know what it would be like now? Maybe I would leave early and return late to work in the fields, and when I was young, I would help the family herd cattle. , drive ducks, hunt pigweeds, and when they grow up, seek a strong and capable wife who is a good hand inside and out, have a few children, and live a thrifty family life." Beitang Zunyue Slightly raising his eyebrows, he said with a light smile: "...why did you suddenly think of this?" Beitang Rongdu smiled, put down the fan in his hand, took tea and drank it, this kind of tea is naturally not good The object was very bitter, but Beitang Rongdu didn't dislike it, he drank it all in one go, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, I just think that things in this world are really wonderful, and often one reincarnation determines a lifetime. way."

The two talked slowly, and soon at noon, the host brought the food. After all, this is a farmer's family, and the father and son didn't expect them to make any good dishes, but when the food was on the table, they felt that it was too much. Not bad. Although the bamboo chopsticks and pottery bowls are rough, it can be seen that they are brand new and have not been used. Lunch is a bowl of old tofu mixed with vinegar soy sauce and pepper oil, sprinkled with some Ground coriander, exuding fragrant heat, next to it is a plate of gluten fried with fungus and green vegetables, two salted duck eggs cut with a knife, the egg whites are soft, the eggs are oily, and a fat and tender young hen is stewed , finely chopped green onions sprinkled on top, boiled cabbage and meatballs, a plate of pickled radish, a pot of white rice, all placed on the kang table, although crude, but it looks very appetizing, Beitang Zun Yue also knew that he couldn't get anything good here, and he was satisfied when he saw these delivered, so he scooped up some chicken soup for Beitang Rongdu and mixed it with the rice, saying: "...Eat it, although it can't compare to home, It might as well be done.”

Beitang Rongdu picked up his chopsticks and said with a smile: "This is enough, I'm not that picky." After saying that, the father and son began to eat. Although these dishes were just ordinary things and the cooking was not delicate, they were well cooked. It was barely delicious. Beitang Rongdu picked up the rice with chopsticks and ate it very sweetly. The more Beitang Zun saw that he was eating deliciously, his face showed a little kindness, and he tore off a chicken leg and put it on the table. Entering the Beitang Rongdu bowl, Beitang Rongdu raised his head and smiled, and also took a piece of chicken and sent it over: "...you eat too."

Until the sun was setting, the two men rode their horses back to the city at a leisurely pace. When they arrived at the west gate of the palace, Beitang Rongdu smiled at Beitang Zunyue: "Today is really very happy." Tang Zun turned the horse's head more and more, with a soft smile on his face: "...I am the same." Beitang Rongdu smiled brightly, waved to the man, then raised his whip, and rode the horse and disappeared into the sunset quickly inside.

Beitang Rongdu returned to the East Palace, and the sky gradually darkened in a blink of an eye, and palace lanterns were hung everywhere. After Beitang Rongdu changed his clothes, Yin Zhibai and other confidantes had been waiting in the side hall for a long time. After a private conversation, Then they took advantage of the night to disperse quietly, each in his own place, and for a while Rongdu sat in the imperial seat of the Beitang, but suddenly he opened his mouth and said to the last man who stepped out of the palace gate: "...Qinghan." Turning around, with a serious expression on his face, Beitang Rongdu moved his lips slightly, but suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say, paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "When that day comes, if someone takes advantage of the chaos to do something, I'm afraid It's also a problem."

As Beitang Rongdu said, his expression gradually became more serious, and he continued: "Father will not have the power to deal with it at that time, I'm just afraid that if something goes wrong... the outside of the palace depends on you to suppress, anyone You can kill them all, although you can't separate yourself, but you must send out a team to go to Qianying Palace to surround it and control the situation. You must ensure your father's safety.

Mu Qinghan's expression changed, his eyes were a little complicated, and then he nodded slightly: "...I know." Beitang Rongdu looked at him, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just raised his head slightly. hand, indicating that the other party can leave, and it was not until Mu Qinghan left that Beitang Rongdu sighed. Looking back at the time, he had mixed feelings for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

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

In a blink of an eye, it was the night before the court meeting, the moon was in the sky, the stars were sparse, it was getting late, there were only two palace lanterns left in the bedroom, and a large shadow was pulled out in the corner, Beitang Zunyue lay on the couch, There was a faint smell of alcohol all over his body, Beitang Rongdu sat in front of the bed, an exquisitely crafted sachet at his waist exuded a faint fragrance, permeating the air quietly, Beitang Rongdu took the man's thin After tucking in the quilt, Wen Yan said: "...It's getting late, I'm going back too, you should have a good rest."

Beitang Zunyue looked at the young man, suddenly raised his hand to caress the other's cheek, and said with a low smile, "... why don't you stay with me?" Slightly warm, as if a little sour, he hastily controlled himself secretly, and smiled as usual: "No, I will go to court tomorrow, and my court clothes are all in the East Palace... Besides, I will return tonight tonight." I have some things to deal with, so I need to go back, so you can rest." Beitang Zunyue listened, but he didn't insist, Beitang Rongdu felt unspeakable, leaned over and kissed Beitang Zunyue's lips lightly, Then he got up and put down the tent, and left Qianying Palace.

There was nothing to say all night, but it was full of nightmares. On the second day, Beitang Rongdu woke up early and was served by the palace servants to put on court clothes. At that moment, he stepped out of the palace. At this moment, the sky was bright, the sun was rising in the east, and the breeze was blowing. It is refreshing, but Beitang Rongdu is standing outside the hall, silent, just feel that everything is just like a dream. After today, many things will change, including his own destiny, the highest power in the world will be put aside. In front of you, so far in life, is it Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?

For a moment, Beitang Rongdu suddenly laughed softly, and strode towards the rising sun. In an instant, the whole Daqing, the whole world, seemed to be behind him.
