Shuoyun Feidu

... In the 17th year of Zhengji, Beitang Rongdu Yujia personally conquered Zhezhe.

At this time, the weather was already quite cold. After the city was broken, there were still some people resisting, and it took a day to calm down completely. Therefore, Beitang Rongdu led his own army into the city, and entered Zhezhe Palace for a while. Daqing is not allowed, but it is also full of palaces and royal style. Beitang Rongdu rides on a horse, wearing armor and wrapped in a thick scarlet cloak, surrounded by thousands of relatives behind him.

As soon as he walked through a palace gate, someone came forward to report: "Your Majesty, Emperor Zhezhe has never escaped, and is now surrounded by Huaiyue Palace." Beitang Rongdu heard the name of the palace clearly on horseback , the whole person suddenly seemed to pause slightly, but he is already an emperor, and what he pays attention to is not showing his emotions and anger, so after a pause, his expression remained as usual, and he just said indifferently: "...Lead the way ahead .”

When they arrived at Huaiyue Palace, the surroundings were surrounded by hundreds of cavalry. When everyone saw the emperor coming, they immediately bowed down in unison and shouted long live. They all stayed outside and walked in alone. The generals saw this, but they were not worried about the emperor's safety, because now with Beitang Rongdu's own cultivation level, although the world is big, there is nothing to do. It threatened Emperor Daqing, not to mention that only Emperor Zhezhe was left in the palace at the moment.

Beitang Rongdu walked into the Huaiyue Hall, the inside was empty, although the furnishings were gorgeous, but along the way, there was no one, and it was very cold. Seeing this scene, Beitang Rongdu was unmoved and walked around the corridor After that, he finally came to a gate, and with his cultivation, he could naturally feel that there was someone inside. Beitang Rongdu paused for a while, then pushed open the heavy door with one hand, and stepped into the hall.

The interior of the hall is quite large, and the decoration is very gorgeous and luxurious. On a book table, there are brushes, ink, paper and inkstones neatly arranged. Wearing a golden crown inlaid with seven-color gemstones, a head of brilliant blond hair was braided into countless thin braids hanging down, his face was resolute and tough, and he had a mustache on his lips. I also climbed up a few thin lines, but the blue eyes did not change much, just like the sky, the whole person erased a lot of things when I was young, but also precipitated stability and maturity. The prince has been on the throne for more than ten years now, and at the same time he has become the second and last master of Zhe Zhe, the current king of subjugation.

It was dusk now, the hall was lit with lamps, and there was no sound. Bi Dan sat still, with his hands on his knees, quietly sitting behind the desk, with a calm and calm face, and looked at the hall door at the same moment when the hall door was pushed open. In the past, as the door was slowly pushed open, a figure walked in without any hesitation. The man was wearing silver-white armor, and the scarlet cloak was like blood, reflecting the full majesty and solemnity. , really looks like an emperor, with black hair simply tied behind his head, without careful grooming, and without a single bit of broken hair for embellishment, only revealing the smooth and jade-like forehead, time has never given this handsome There is even a slight trace of imperceptible marks on his face, and his eyes are still as clear as water, with a faint light flowing, but it can be seen from the eyes that the man is not young anymore, and the two long black eyebrows seem to be With the growth of age, it became more and more fierce, slanting straight into the temples, and the slender phoenix eyes seemed to be half-open, showing a look of contempt and arrogance. After so many years, it was still as if it was yesterday.

The face of this person is so strange yet so familiar. Facing the light, he has a slender figure and white skin. He has not seen him for more than ten years. This scene is so real. His mind was blank, and he just stared at the other party so firmly, unable to say a word for a while, as if he saw the man standing in front of him back then, only the candle flames danced slightly around him, accompanied by the deep sound of his heart beating. When it came to his ears, Bi Dan suddenly clenched the hem of his robe on his knees. Many years ago, in the same winter, that person had such a dignified demeanor, but after a long time passed, this appearance only It can be imprinted in my mind, but I can’t see it in reality anymore... I don’t know why for a while, Bi Dan suddenly felt hot and astringent in his eyes, and something was spinning in his eyes, but as a king, he didn’t want to be in this place. I lost my composure in front of people, so I endured it with difficulty, but I finally came to my senses, knowing that this person is not that person, no matter how similar they are, they are not the same person after all, so I took a deep breath, suppressed my emotions, and said in a deep voice : "Emperor Daqing...you and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

This slightly hoarse voice broke the silence in the hall. Beitang Rongdu looked at Bi Dan, nodded slightly, and said, "...It's been a long time indeed." Bi Dan was still sitting, but he looked over carefully through the light , as if wanting to see something else from Beitang Zunyue, only to see that under the lamplight, the warm light illuminates that perfect face, radiant with heroism, that outline, that appearance, is really the same as that person in memory The appearance overlapped, Bi Dan showed a slight smile on his face, and said: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, Emperor Daqing is still handsome, but I am getting old." Beitang Rongdu met Bi Dan's gaze, and suddenly his heart burst There is a sense that things are right and wrong. Back then, there was still friendship between the two of them, and they were considered friends. Now, after years of separation, when they meet again, this is the scene. However, between the two countries, the interests of the country override everything , personal feelings or friendship, etc., seem insignificant.

The two fell silent at the same time, but suddenly Bi Dan stood up slowly and said calmly: "...Zhe Zhe is dead now, I am the emperor, so naturally I can't be a person who is afraid of death, but I still have children , as a father, he always has the heart to lick the calf."

The lights in the hall were quiet, and Bi Dan's tone was surprisingly calm, and he only said slowly: "I am also the emperor, and I know that there are some things that must be done. Zhe Zhe is gone, and Daqing naturally cannot leave any troubles. The crown prince and those adult princes The emperor's grandson will definitely not be able to stay, but I have a young son who was born last year and is still in his infancy, and now he is in Shourong Palace, if the Emperor Daqing thought of his affection at the beginning and spared his life, I would be grateful." Beitang Rong Du listened, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Zhen will order someone to entrust him to a solid and reliable family. This child will not know his background, and he will live a safe and worry-free life in the future." Bi Dan heard Yan made a deep bow, and said solemnly: "... so, I thank you in advance here." After finishing speaking, he put one hand on a sword resting on the desk, stroked the blade lightly, and sighed slightly After a long while, he suddenly raised his head to look at Beitang Rongdu, and looked deeply into the depths of the pair of eyes, as if he wanted to see another identical figure through the other. , then seemed to ask a little awkwardly: "...I haven't seen my old friend for many years, I don't know if His Majesty Longwu is safe now?"

Beitang Rongdu's heart moved, facing Bi Dan's deep and quiet eyes, there was a clear look of hope in those eyes, Beitang Rongdu was silent for a moment, then let out a breath, and said: "...he is fine. " Bi Dan looked at the man, but suddenly raised a hand, pointed at Beitang Rongdu and laughed, and said: "Emperor Daqing, you are better than me in everything, but there are some things that I dare to say that you are as good as me." No way! When you seized the throne and imprisoned His Majesty, I was only a prince at that time, and even if I was the Lord of Zhe Zhe, I couldn’t help him out of trouble, but if I were you, I would never force the palace to stand on its own! Emperor Daqing, you It is necessary to be beautiful, but if you can only choose one of the two, then although I love Jiangshan, I love beauties more! Beitang Rongdu, at least in terms of that person, you are not as good as me!"

This remark was so loud that Beitang Rongdu didn't argue or refute anything. After Bi Dan laughed, he suddenly said with burning eyes: "There is something I've always wanted to ask you. Back then you were already in a stable position, especially when your Majesty willingly Taking the risk to save you from the hands of the rebels is clearly because you don’t even care about your own life, let alone Jiangshan? If this is the case, why do you force the palace to stand on its own, the throne will be yours sooner or later.” Bei Tang When Rong Du heard this, he was silent for a moment, then smiled softly, and said: "I admit that before Zhennanshan, I already had the heart of disobedience, just because I don't want to be manipulated by others, even if that person is him." Beitang Rong As Du said, he simply revealed all the grievances and grievances between himself and Beitang Zunyue, and even revealed many secrets. After all, Bi Dan is dying now, so what can't be said to him?For a while, only the voice of Beitang Rongdu echoed faintly in the hall. After a long time, Beitang Rongdu sighed and said: "After the Zhennanshan incident, I also hesitated whether I should do that or not, but But once I got the news that he had betrayed me by leaving the palace at night."

Up to now, Beitang Rongdu simply told the whole thing, and then said: "You see, I have already made an agreement with him, and we will never betray each other in this life, so I will not get close to others for this reason. , but how did he do it? When I keep my promise, he is in the gentle village. He is the emperor, so he has the power to fulfill the promise. He is not afraid of what happens to me. If this is the case, I also want to have the ability to control him , shouldn’t it be?” Hearing these words, Bi Dan suddenly had an indescribably strange expression on his face, looked at Beitang Rongdu, and suddenly asked: “The night you said… ... When did it happen?"

When Beitang Rongdu saw that Bi Dan asked this, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, but he still said it. Unexpectedly, Bi Dan's expression changed after hearing this, and suddenly he burst into laughter. , while trying to say: "Emperor Daqing, you did a stupid thing, really stupid..." Bi Dan said, gradually stopped laughing: "You know, I have been writing to him non-stop for these years, It's been a long time, maybe it's because of the boredom in his heart, gradually there are occasional correspondences, these years, I got a total of eleven letters from him, if you think about it, you don't even bother to open letters in private, then I will tell you A few years ago, he mentioned in his letter that he saw Bei Tangyun, who was already insane, during the Lantern Festival. It was also from that letter that I learned that Bei Tangyun had a night of entanglement with him. Emperor Daqing, can you Can you imagine it?" Bi Dan said, simply telling everything he knew, and at the end, he laughed wildly: "The night you just said was obviously the time when Bei Tangyun met him! What kind of gentleness, what kind of private appearance Gong stealing incense to seek pleasure, these are all just your own wild imaginations, because you never really believed in him!"

As soon as these words came out, Beitang Rongdu stood there as if struck by lightning, Bi Dan laughed until tears rolled down his face, and said: "Your Majesty has always been arrogant, this matter is because he was tricked by Beitang Yun, so naturally he will not I would like to take the initiative to tell you, but you are arbitrary, once you believe that His Majesty is seeking pleasure privately, you simply don't bother to question him, only as if he has failed you... Beitang Rongdu, how arrogant and ridiculous you are!"

For a moment, all kinds of feelings came to my heart, Bi Dan looked at Beitang Rongdu who was standing there dumbfounded, and suddenly walked over, and then punched Beitang Rongdu in the face fiercely, although Bi Dan had some martial arts skills However, Beitang Rongdu seemed to be in a daze, and he didn't dodge or stop the punch, even though he was hit hard on his left by the opponent's punch. On the cheek, there was blood oozing from the corner of the mouth, Bi Dan panted slightly, and said: "This punch is for your majesty, I was just thinking about whether I should tell you about this matter, but I still want to Decided to speak out, because I am jealous of you."

Bi Dan laughed: "That's right, I'm jealous of you, I'm jealous that you won His Majesty, so I want to take revenge, make you regret what you did, make you feel guilty forever, and make you remember how you have wronged Your Majesty . . . how stupid you are."

Beitang Rongdu stood quietly on the spot, and suddenly raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He remained silent, never thinking that he would experience such pain and sadness in the palace of a foreign country. I really don’t want to experience it, but I can’t ignore it. His self-righteousness has been severely subverted today. When he thinks about it in the future, it will be full of irony every time, just like what Bi Dan said , Let you regret what you have done, and make you feel guilty forever!

Bi Dan turned around, walked back to the desk, picked up the sword on the desk with one hand, and said with emotion: "...Beitang Rongdu, Beitang Rongdu, if you do anything wrong to your Majesty in the future, it will be truly intolerable. "After that, there was a faint look between his brows and eyes. Amidst the candlelight in the hall, the blond man stood calmly, as if the place he was about to go was not the Netherworld, but his own courtyard. One swipe, and immediately blood came out, and the whole person fell down. Since then, Zhezhe's last breath has been exhausted, and the world is unified.

After a long while, I saw Beitang Rongdu slowly coming out from Huaiyue Palace, his eyes were calm and quiet, like a peaceful lake in winter, and he said to the left and right: "...the king died in the country, even though Zhe Zhe died, Bi Dan is still alive after all. Those who are responsible will pass on my will and have them buried in honor."

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

The new year is coming, and the capital already has a festive atmosphere ahead of time. Before the emperor’s imperial conquest, Wang Shi pointed directly at Zhe Zhe. Now the army is triumphant, and the army is moving back to the court. The infinite joy of victory makes the New Year’s festive atmosphere compared to previous years. , more and more thick.

"...I haven't come back for nearly four months. There seems to be a lot of changes in Beijing." It was already severe winter and the weather was cold. Beitang Rongdu rode on horseback and took a deep breath of the air in the capital. , Meng Chunyuan was dressed in military uniform, and said: "Your Majesty has been away for several months. After returning to the palace, it is better to rest for a few days." Beitang Rongdu smiled and said: "I am in my prime and very energetic, but what are you worried about?" As he said, he looked around, and everywhere he could see, although it was cold winter, he could still see the prosperity. There were many restaurants and shops on both sides, which was completely the prosperity of the Taiping era. Beitang Rongdu rode a horse, walking slowly in front of the army, Both sides of the road are full of onlookers, tens of thousands of heads are gathered, and the crowd is constantly cheering, shouting long live, now that Zhezhe is dead, the world is truly unified, and there will be no more swordsmanship for a long time in the future, naturally The country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the days must be getting richer. When Beitang Rongdu saw this, there was a faint smile on his face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and now the world is in his hands. , turned his head to Meng Chunyuan beside him and said: "... three days later, there will be a banquet for all the ministers. Everyone has worked hard in the past two years, and I will reward myself." meet that person.

All the ministers and clans greeted each other outside the city, and in front of the outer palace gate was a large number of palace attendants, most of whom were sent by concubines to inquire about the news. He rushed away and reported the letter quickly. After a lot of complicated rules for a while, Beitang Rongdu finally freed himself, sat on the soft seat, and ordered: "I won't go anywhere else, and I don't have to wait to tell everyone. Take a break... drive back to Yongxian Palace." Immediately, the servants agreed, and the guard of honor marched towards the inner palace. After a while, when they arrived at Yongxian Palace, Beitang Rongdu disembarked, and a group of eunuchs and maids who had been waiting for a long time saluted together However, Beitang Rongdu only waved for Lu Xing who was in front of him to come over, and asked: "... How is father?" Lu Xing hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, the emperor is in good health. There hasn't been anything wrong in the past month." Beitang Rongdu nodded and said, "That's good."

Beitang Rongdu's imperial conquest, the matter in Beijing has already been arranged in advance, Beitang Zunyue also has arrangements around him, because although Beitang Zunyue has abdicated for more than ten years, since Beitang Rongdu led an army to attack Zhezhe If you don't sit in the middle of the capital, then just in case... For a while, Beitang Rongdu entered the Yongxian Palace. At this moment, he was still in military uniform, adding a bit of majesty, but he didn't stay for a moment, just went straight to the eunuch. Leading him inside, a moment later, a rich door appeared in front of him, without Beitang Rongdu opening his mouth, the palace servants on both sides had already opened the door automatically, after Beitang Rongdu walked into it, he just stood there, not for a long time. Take another step.

It was afternoon, and the hall was bright enough to see every corner clearly. A man in black embroidered gold thread casual clothes was sitting on a chair, concentrating on a book, with black hair tied behind his head. The expression was very relaxed. The moment he saw the other person, Beitang Rongdu suddenly felt an extremely subtle feeling, a little sour, a little bit astringent. He wanted to confide a lot of things to this person, but he tried his best to hold it back right now. These emotions, slowly walked over, said: "...Erlang, I'm back."

Father and son rejoiced when they met each other. Beitang Zunyue put down the scroll in his hand and stared at Beitang Rongdu. He felt that he seemed to be calming down a bit. He paused for a while, and finally stood up, as if he was about to say something. , but unexpectedly, Beitang Rongdu walked over quickly, hugged Beitang Zunyue tightly, and said hoarsely: "Erlang...Erlang..." Beitang Zunyue only thought that he was reunited after a long absence, To vent his longing, he patted Beitang Rongdu on the shoulder and said, "It's just a few months away from Beijing, why do you look like this!" He buried his face in Beitang Zunyue's neck, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry..." Then he tightened his arms and hugged the man tightly: "I've been thinking about you all this way, Are you thinking about me too? I’m afraid you think about it every day, don’t you?” Beitang Zunyue heard this, his heart froze slightly, and he unconsciously took Beitang Rongdu with one hand and said: "...I don't want to hear you talking about these nasty things as soon as you return to the palace." Beitang Rongdu greedily sniffed the smell of Beitang Zunyue deeply, and said: "If it is more nasty, then It’s just for you alone, what’s the big deal.”

As Beitang Rongdu said, he gently kissed Beitang Zunyue's neck, endlessly lingering, infinitely gentle, if there was no deep love, if there was no feeling of guilt and tossing, there would be no such kiss, Beitang Rong Du suddenly wanted to tell Beitang Zunyue what he knew and what he had misunderstood. He wanted to tell this person that he was wrong, ridiculously wrong, arrogant, and stupid, but even if he said this, he could What's the matter, after all, he can't erase the fact that has happened, he can only give the other party such a gentle kiss, but it was 17 years late, Beitang Rongdu suddenly understood the decision of Beitang Zunyue General When such a sword pierced my shoulder, what kind of deep love and hatred... Beitang Rongdu embraced Beitang Zunyue and murmured softly: "I did a lot of wrong things, but it's okay , now we are still together after all, are you right, Erlang."

In the evening, the two slept on the couch early, and in the middle of the night, Beitang Rongdu suddenly woke up and sat up. In this way, Beitang Zunyue, who was sleeping beside him, was also disturbed, and Beitang Zunyue frowned slightly. , looked at Beitang Rongdu who was sweating slightly on his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "...what's wrong?" , wanted to say something, but didn't say it, just said: "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare." The more Beitang Zun listened, he didn't care, turned to face the bed, closed his eyes again, and said: " ...Then go to sleep." Beitang Rongdu put his arms around the man, pressed his chin lightly on the man's shoulder, and said softly: "...Erlang, tell me, after all these years, do you still hate me?" Beitang Zunyue's eyelids moved slightly, and after a long while, he said impatiently: "...to be noisy!" Beitang Rongdu didn't think it was disobedient, and only lightly licked Beitang Zunyue's earlobe, saying: "Actually, I I don’t really care about this anymore, anyway, you are mine for the rest of your life, and you will still be mine in the next life. The most you can hate is that I hate what I do, hate that I have failed you, but after so many years, how can you hate those grievances? I deserve you and my love, love is like the sea."

Beitang Zunyue seemed a little embarrassed, still closed his eyes, and said impatiently: "...you woke me up in the middle of the night, and that's all you said?" Beitang Rongdu suddenly laughed, and said softly: "No, I I want to say... I want to say that I will pay you back slowly, and if it is not enough, I will continue to pay you back in the next life." Beitang Zun Yue sneered, and said: "...you have a good plan. Beitang Rongdu was not annoyed, he gently kissed Beitang Zunyue's ear, and said with a smile: "Does Erlang think it's unfair?... Then, let me be your father in the next life, and Erlang will be your son. Children are the debts of parents, then you can ask me for it."

"...It doesn't matter if we can't settle it, we still have another life."
