Shuoyun Feidu

Positive 18 years, winter.

In the upper study room, tranquilizing incense was lit, and the smoke was quiet. Although there were seven or eight servants around, waiting to serve at any time, none of them heard a word. , adding a bit of the emperor's heroism and majesty, for a moment Beitang Rongdu took a sip of tea from the teacup next to him, refreshed himself, put together the books on the desk, and then took another copy from it, Open it and read it carefully, the middle-aged servant on the side rolled up his sleeves and re-grinded the ink, then dipped the imperial brush in the ink, and handed it to Beitang Rongdu, seeing the emperor approving the papers for a long time, his expression seemed a little tired , then whispered: "...Your Majesty, there is vegetarian porridge cooking in the small kitchen, why don't you get a bowl? Your Majesty can drink a bowl warmly, and you can rest for a while."

"Alright." Beitang Rongdu thought for a while, then agreed, and said: "What kind of porridge are you cooking?" The waiter said: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is jujube kernel powder walnut millet porridge." Beitang Rongdu listened Then he smiled and said: "...Father also likes to drink this, so he asked someone to fill a cup and send it back to Yongxian Palace." The servant responded with a bow: "Yes." Go down and do it.

Not long after, the porridge was brought up, and Beitang Rongdu picked up a spoon and drank it slowly. The hot porridge entered his stomach, and it was really comfortable. Beitang Rongdu drank a bowl, and felt that the tiredness had disappeared a lot , he took the silk handkerchief from the waiter and wiped the corners of his mouth, picked up the booklet again and read it again. After he approved a few books, he took another sip of hot tea, but his eyes fell on another pile of booklets. Tang Rongdu rummaged through it a few times, and soon found a leaflet, which was about Duke Gongjia. Beitang Rongdu looked carefully, and suddenly a slight look appeared on his face, and he paused. After writing and approving, he asked again: "Has Gong Jia Gong's power already fallen to this point?"

When the servant heard the emperor's question, he bowed and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, the imperial hospital has already made a conclusion, Mr. Gong Jia... I'm afraid it will only be in the next few days." His expression moved, but he couldn't see any joy or anger, so he just said: "... I know." Then he got up and ordered the little eunuch to get the cloak, and then said to the middle-aged servant: "Let someone prepare for the ride, I know Go to the Duke's Mansion."

Right now it is the severe winter season, the weather is very cold, Beitang Rongdu went out of the palace in a light car, and went to the Duke's Mansion, there was a heater in the carriage, although it was warm, it seemed a little bored, Beitang Rongdu sat in the car, closed his eyes Eyes quiet thinking, quietly thinking about something.

Arriving at the Duke's Mansion, the Zhong family saw the emperor coming, and they were naturally in a hurry. Some of the servants rushed in to report, and soon the Duke's son rushed out. Go to Gongjiagong's residence.

There was silence in the room. A middle-aged man was lying on the couch. He looked haggard and had already fallen into a coma. Two imperial physicians were by his side. Duke Gong Jia's children were beside the bed. Several concubines who had given birth to children were originally They also accompanied her, but just now they heard the news that the emperor had arrived in person. As concubines, they had no qualifications to see Tianyan, and they had already retired. Suddenly, someone outside said: "... Your Majesty is here!" Everyone in the room immediately fell to the ground After bowing down, the thick brocade curtain was lifted, and a man wrapped in a black mid-hair smoked mink cloak walked into the house.

The man was tall and tall, wearing a crown inlaid with red gold and red sapphires. He was extremely handsome. Staring at the emperor for a moment, his lips moved slightly, Beitang Rongdu's eyes were dark, and he motioned for the children of Duke Gong Jia to get up, then walked forward and sat by the bed. He looked at the middle-aged man on the bed. The young man suddenly felt a little complicated, paused, and said in a deep voice: "... Zhong Yu, I'm here to see you."

It was already a great honor for the emperor to visit the seriously ill courtier's home in person. Zhong Yu's already weak breathing began to become intense, and suddenly he coughed a few times, but his eyes were fixed on Bei Tang Rongdu's face moved to the other people in the room. After he coughed a few times, his energy seemed to improve, and there was a faint rosy glow on his sallow face. Seeing this, everyone knew this. It was already a flashback, and the children couldn't help but shed tears, but Zhong Yu waved his hands, and said with some spirit: "...It's okay. You all go down, I have something to say with Your Majesty." Beitang Rong Du understood, so he said in a deep voice: "...all go down." The two imperial physicians bowed and retreated, and the children wiped their tears, and they had to leave the room together.

For a while there were only two monarchs and ministers left in the room, and Beitang Rongdu knew that Zhong Yu's time was running out, so he said nothing else, "...you may wish to tell me if you have anything to say. If you don't feel at ease, I will naturally fulfill your wish for Qing." Zhong Yu nodded and said: "I have two sons and two daughters, and the eldest son is already the heir of the imperial court. After my death, I will inherit the title. It's just that he is old. But sixteen, I hope His Majesty will take care of your ministers." Beitang Rongdu said: "It's natural, you can rest assured that you have made contributions to the community, as long as Zhong Ling has never committed the crime of treason, I will keep him safe for the rest of his life." Zhong Yu smiled, seemingly comforted, and said: "Zhong Xing is fourteen years old, and his martial arts are not bad. Your majesty, I think I'm a little bit weak, so let him be added to the bodyguards, for your majesty. Guarding the court..." Beitang Rongdu nodded: "Then I will mention a second-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, who often walks in front of me, and has his own future in the future." Saying that, without waiting for Zhong Yu to speak again, he just said: "The two girls are still young. In the future, I will personally point out a good marriage, so that they will not be wronged...I know what you have done for me in these years, and I will not treat your descendants badly."

Zhong Yu nodded with a smile, but suddenly held Beitang Rongdu's hand tremblingly. That hand was as snow-white and crystal clear as jade, with slender veins. It hadn't changed in so many years. Zhong Yu's eyes were already a little red. But he smiled and said: "In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, Your Majesty is still the same as before, but the minister is no longer young. Fortunately, he is not too old now, and he can still see the past. Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with getting this disease." Not good, otherwise, when I grow old and my skin is as white as hair, I really can't bear to see Your Majesty."

Beitang Rongdu felt a little unspeakable, and said, "Why do you say such useless things?" Zhong Yu held the man's hand, stared at Beitang Rongdu's handsome face, and said softly: "Back then, you and Your Majesty The first time I saw it, I think it was more than 20 years ago, but I still remember it clearly until now... At that time, your Majesty and the minister were still young, and the minister thought at that time, how can there be such a beauty in the world, could it be a ghost Changed?" When Zhong Yu said this, he couldn't help laughing, Beitang Rongdu looked at the man's handsome face, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, Zhong Yu suddenly stopped laughing With a low voice, he took Beitang Rongdu's hand to his lips and kissed it lightly, and said: "I have ever thought about it, is it because I am greedy for your majesty's beauty in this life, so I am willing to be driven by you? Your majesty only needs one word, and the minister Then there is nothing I can't do. Is the minister in love with His Majesty, or his appearance? I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't figure out what the answer is." Beitang Rongdu listened to the other party's words, but he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. This person seems to be just for the purpose of use from the beginning to the end, however, this person is not unknown...

Zhong Yu smiled slightly, but looked at Beitang Rongdu greedily. He stretched out his hand, and slowly stroked the man's smooth face, stroking gently. Beitang Rongdu didn't stop him, just let him stroke, Zhong Yu touched After a while, he said: "...Your Majesty, should he never have any affection for his subjects?" Beitang Rongdu listened, but did not answer. Zhong Yu seemed to have expected such a reaction from the man, so he was not disappointed. He just smiled and said: "When I was young, I didn't understand many things, but I gradually saw some things clearly, but unfortunately I was still willing... It is said that the heart of heaven is unpredictable, and how can a courtier guess what His Majesty thinks, but, in In His Majesty's heart, even if there is no affection, at least there is always a place for a minister, after all, a minister is still a useful person, so there is nothing wrong with that."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yu's eyes seemed to gradually brighten up, he squeezed Beitang Rongdu's hand, and said with a smile: "Beitang, I have never married a wife in my life, and only concubine Ji is allowed to leave incense for the Zhong family, which lasts forever." Son, in my heart, you are the only person I sleep with, do you understand? As an emperor, sitting in the mountains and rivers, I'm afraid you won't care about an insignificant Zhong Yu, but Zhong Yu can abandon his family and career for you , only Bomei smiled..." At this point, the man's eyes began to blur, and the surrounding scenery gradually became unclear. He could only see Beitang Rongdu alone, and his ruddy face quickly faded to gray. , the right hand holding Beitang Rongdu's palm became weaker and weaker, but he still smiled, looked at Beitang Rongdu greedily, and said in a low voice: "I met Beitang, so there is no regret in this life..." Beitang Seeing that the man was not well, Tang Rongdu immediately turned his head towards the door and shouted loudly: "...the imperial doctor comes in!"

As soon as the words were finished, the two imperial physicians hurried in, followed by Zhong Yu's four sons and daughters. Beitang Rongdu turned his head, only to see that the man on the bed was already smiling and did not move any more. An imperial doctor put his hand under Zhong Yu's nose and heart, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Duke has gone..." Several young people heard this, and immediately burst into tears, and Beitang Rongdu closed his eyes slightly. He stood up, glanced at the person on the bed, and remembered the young man who stared at him in a daze when he first met more than 20 years ago, and suddenly felt an indescribable faint feeling mind.

Yongxian Palace.

The blue and white porcelain bowl on the table was already empty, and there was still some porridge stains on the bottom of the bowl. Beitang Zunyue sat on a low couch, kneeling in front of a young woman with bright phoenix clothes and long phoenix eyes. There is a rebellious and heroic look on the stunning face, it is the best time for Beitang.

Beitang Zunyue looked cold and cold, and said: "...you don't have to think about it, I will never make the decision for you, and it will be useless if you delay it for a few years." Beitang Jiaqi said stubbornly: "What if you become a monk? Like? I like him in my heart, and I don't care who he is." Beitang Zun said coldly: "What do you know!" He was restless, but he couldn't tell Beitang Jiaqi about that person, but this girl His temper is too similar to his, I'm afraid he won't be able to resist him, so he can't help but get upset for a while, so he simply shouted: "...Get out! Don't let me watch you here and make things difficult for me." Beitang Jiaqi is also a very stubborn person, and he immediately Standing up, biting his lower lip tightly, he said, "I've decided on him. Even if my grandfather and father don't agree, I won't marry someone else." Beitang Zun was furious when he heard the words, and slapped the low couch heavily, saying : "... bastard, it turned against you! That Mu... the wooden monk doesn't want to see you, you are a majestic princess, but you still post it yourself. Could it be that you want to force a monk to marry you? My face and your father's face I told you to throw it away!"

Beitang Jiaqi was full of determination, just stood still, with an extremely stubborn look, the more Beitang Zun looked at it, he became angry, and scolded: "Get out, don't come to see me if you don't think clearly." Beitang Tang Jiaqi's eyes were red, but she remained silent, turned around and went out. Bei Tangzun took a deep breath, suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "This bastard girl, she is as virtuous as I used to be..." For a while, the hall again There was no one else around, Beitang Zun became quieter for a while, then suddenly took off his boots, sat cross-legged on the low couch, and closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the eyes that had been closed all the time suddenly opened silently. Beitang Zun Yue stretched his legs and put on his boots. The next moment, the door opened and someone walked in. Beitang Rongdu took off his boots. Putting the black cloak aside casually, seeing Beitang Zunyue sitting on the low couch under the window, he said softly: "...I heard that girl Jiaqi came just now?" Beitang Zunyue snorted slightly, coldly Ran said: "She came here just to cheer me up." Beitang Rongdu paused, frowned, and said, "What happened again?" His brows were furrowed for a while, and he sat beside Beitang Zunyue, caressing him. He said on his knees: "This girl..." Thinking of Mu Qinghan in his heart, he couldn't help feeling mixed feelings.

But Beitang Zunyue glanced at him, and said with a sneer: "...that bastard has been spoiled by you lawlessly since he was a child, and now even I dare to contradict him!" Beitang Rongdu smiled wryly, and said: "Don't always say I, you are the same? If you are serious, you dote on her more than me, our eldest brother will not laugh at the second brother." The more Beitang Zun listened, he was a little dumb, and stopped saying anything, Beitang Rongdu thought to himself It really is a bad fate, but there is nothing to do, so I can only sigh again and again: "It is said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Originally, we don't need to care about her. Even if she likes a monk with the respect of a dignified princess, I will not stop her, but But that person is..."

Beitang Venerable snorted coldly, and didn't answer, Beitang Rongdu continued: "If it's true that the two are in love, it's fine, I can't agree, but Mu... that person treats Jiaqi...how can I... Can she let her go? It will only ruin her life!" As he spoke, he also felt distressed and very irritable, the more Beitang Zun looked at him like this, he was silent for a moment, but he stretched out his arms to embrace Beitang Rongdu, When Beitang Rongdu saw this, he moved his lips closer and kissed the man's thin lips. Beitang Zun Yue frowned slightly, presumably because he was pierced by a beard, and became a little impatient: "...What are you doing with this beard! "Beitang Rongdu smiled slightly, and said: "I'm at this age, and I'm an emperor, so I should be more majestic. Doesn't Erlang like me growing a beard?" Beitang Zunyue raised his eyebrows and said, "You kept this After the beard, it looks older than me." Beitang Rongdu sneered, and said: "Why don't Erlang grow it, just like me?"

As the two talked, they gradually got entangled and fell down on the couch. After a long while, the Beitang Venerable suddenly heard the more solemn voice: "...don't go down? Could it be that I will kick you down!" Another But the voice said lazily: "Why is Erlang so cruel... I haven't been close to you for a long time..." The man said impatiently: "...don't make noise!" Something fell to the ground, and it turned out that Beitang Rongdu was kicked out of the couch by Beitang Zunyue.

At that moment, Beitang Zun Yue sat up and tidied his messy robes a little bit. Beitang Rongdu sat on the ground with his front open, revealing a white chest, and muttered: "It's really inhuman..." Beitang Zun Yue was too lazy to look at him, and said: "How many times have I told you, don't think about doing such a thing in winter, you know it yourself." Hugging Beitang Zunyue, said: "Then you talk to me... By the way, have you eaten the porridge I ordered?"

Then there was a quiet time for the two of them alone. In the afternoon, Beitang Rongdu reviewed papers in the hall for a while, and then took a nap on the low couch under the window. The midday sun was very thin and cold, and the wind blew Outside the window, heavy snow fell from the branches.

Beitang Zunyue sat on a chair and flipped through the book in his hand. After a while, he put down the book and stood up. He walked to the window to look at the scenery outside. Suddenly, the parrot on the shelf not far away vibrated. Wings screamed, Beitang Zun frowned slightly, and at the same time flicked his right hand, the parrot immediately passed out as if it had been hit by something.

At this time, Beitang Rongdu on the couch was breathing heavily, sleeping soundly, and was not woken up. Beitang Zun Yue turned around, looked at the other person's sleeping face, and finally revealed a soft look on his handsome and calm face. , Beitang Zunyue bent down, kissed Beitang Rongdu on the lips, and then walked under the window again, with a complex expression on his face, and the sound of wind outside the window, all kinds of feelings in his heart could not be explained.
