From the day Zhenqing got drunk, Chu Xi began to avoid Zhenqing.No matter how much he devoted himself to asking Wu Bu about Fengyue, he knew what he was thinking.

For the first time in his life, he could not wait to go to the court happily, so as not to stay in the same courtyard with Zhenqing and always feel uneasy.

Chu Xi deeply felt that he was nothing, how could he have such shameful thoughts towards Xu Zhenqing.A young master like Xu Zhenqing should be far away from these messy things.Seeing Xu Zhenqing's face, those glazed eyes, and those two thin lips, bad memories rushed straight to his forehead accompanied by shame and panic.

But after all, she was her sweetheart, and while hiding, Chu Xi felt itchy.Liu Mu can only be dispatched one or eight hundred times a day.

After taking a look at Young Master Xu and confirming that he is not sick, headache, dizzy, hungry or cold, Liu Mu said to Chu Xi with no expression on his face: "When the prince comes back, I will be transferred to be Young Master Xu's guard."

Chu Xi was annoyed: "I just want you to take a look. Besides, my father told me to treat Xu Zhenqing well."

"Whoever treats guests well is all-weather and all-round." Liu Muyi said in his heart.But all he said was, "It's important."

Chu Xi nodded reluctantly, and asked Liu Mu to bring him information from various places.

He began to get acquainted with what the country he was in was really like.

Xijiang's father won the battle, and Tuoba Yuan disappeared.Now my father is guarding the western border, governing the land that has endured the war, and it has basically settled down.Yan Qi led his troops to besiege the rebels and did not go down for three days.Yan Fei is fine in the south.

There is an important piece of news that before and after Yan Shigao took office as the eunuch of Bingbi, he almost visited the court officials and generals with courtesy.

No wonder Wang Cheng and Liu Lang were removed from the northern and southern factions, and the rest of the civil and military officials were always like grasshoppers on a rope, but they were all recruited by Yan Shigao.

Chu Xi became more and more disgusted with Yan Shigao.Yan Shigao was an eunuch holding a pen, and the emperor personally brought it up. He was a man worthy of the name of the emperor, and the emperor might not have known about his involvement in this matter.The reason for turning a blind eye and closing one eye is nothing more than not wanting the government to be controlled by the two factions of the North and the South.Yan Shigao is his own person, and he doesn't have the tough bones like a scholar-bureaucrat, so he is much easier to control.

Chu Xi was thinking hard when Zhen Qing walked in.

He trembled suddenly, and said straightly: "Why are you here, what's the matter?"

Xu Zhenqing in front of him looked as if nothing had happened. Chu Xi had been observing him for too long, and she noticed a trace of anxiety and worry under his calm surface.

Chu Xi didn't like his behavior so much.Hiding everything and tucking everything in, made him feel inexplicably blocked.Like how unreliable I am.Chu Xi thought so.

Zhenqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Is the city Yan Qi besieged Lin'an?"

Chu Xi didn't expect him to ask this. She glanced at the paper in her hand and said, "Yes. What's wrong?"

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhenqing trembling, and said in a low voice, "Got it. It's all right."

Turn around and walk out quickly.

It would be strange if nothing happened.Chu Xi hurriedly got up and followed, "Zhenqing! What's the matter? Xu Zhenqing?"

Xu Zhenqing ignored him abnormally, walking more and more hurriedly.As soon as she entered the door, she turned around to lock the door, and Chu Xi raised her arm against the door.Knowing that she was not as strong as him, Zhenqing simply put down her hands, walked into the inner room without saying a word, lay down on the bed and wrapped herself up, leaving the back of her head, and said in a cold voice, "It's okay. I want to Go to bed, please ask the little prince to go out."

Chu Xi clenched her fists, squatted down, and looked at the back of Zhenqing's head: "What's the matter, tell me."

Xu Zhenqing simply closed her eyes and shrank into the quilt.

Chu Xi lowered his head, his fingers tightened unconsciously, he took a deep breath, turned around and walked out.It seems that if you slow down, you won't be able to get out.

Zhenqing breathed a sigh of relief quietly, stretched out his head to breathe, and then he was grabbed by the shoulders and turned over forcefully.

Chu Xi went back and forth, holding him down to prevent him from shrinking back, while staring at him: "Tell me."

"It has nothing to do with you." Losing the calmness of the past, a hostility lingered between his brows, Zhen Qing said impatiently.

Chu Xi: "I want to know."

Zhen Qing stared at him without saying a word.The glazed eyes were no longer as calm as a pool of autumn water, but as if they were sharp knives.Chu Xi bumped into the knife point, "Tell me. I will be worried. You are my counselor, the most important counselor, of course I can't worry about it."

The tip of the knife shattered, and small and sharp metals splashed everywhere, piercing into it tightly.

Zhenqing slowly closed her eyes.

Of course, he was worried about his advisers.

No one will be nice to you except me.The nightmarish voice came to mind again.

Zhenqing said, "Lin'an is my hometown. My mother is buried there."

Chu Xi let go of her hand, and he saw that Zhen Qing's face gradually returned to a calm and calm look, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"Zhenqing..." Chu Xi opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

He can't do anything, he can't save a city from fire, he can't stop the arrows, he can't do anything.

Gently covering Zhenqing's closed eyes with her palm, the temperature gradually penetrated, and Zhenqing heard a voice: "I am here. I will always be here."

Zhen Qing couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.

What a pallid and absurd consolation.

Yan Shigao looked at Chu Yuanzhi's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and his heart sank: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Chu Yuanzhi lost a lot of weight, but he didn't feel weak. The outline of the bones under the skin became clearer, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.The whole person is like a sharp sword with a sharp edge.

"It seems that there is really no one in our Southern Dynasty. The situation in Xijiang has just stabilized, and you are thinking of calling people back. Xijiang is inseparable from General Chu, so don't mention this matter again."

"Yes. But the emperor thinks that those courtiers are also worried that Vice General Yan will not be able to attack Lin'an for a long time, and the rebels will gather, which will cause a catastrophe in the future."

"I don't think the courtiers are so worried about state affairs." Chu Yuanzhi paused, "It's you, Yan Shigao."

"Your Majesty!" A chill ran up his back, and Yan Shigao knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Back off!" Chu Yuanzhi said coldly.

Yan Shigao backed away trembling.

Chu Yuanzhi thumped the table resentfully, felt short of breath for a moment, and suddenly gasped like a broken bellows.

Why is Nuo Da a Southern Dynasty, and there are not even a few generals worthy of great positions?Chu Yuanzhi thought bitterly.

When Chu Xiuzhi was in power, because he was a gifted scholar and loved those poems, calligraphy and paintings, the ministers of the court followed suit.During his nearly ten years in power, many people were promoted because of their excellent poetry, and those with martial arts were not allowed to stand out.The ambitions of young people cannot withstand the cold reception year after year. Gradually, the Southern Dynasties have become more and more civil and military.However, in the face of famine and enemies, those neon clothes, feather clothes, poems and songs are so pale and powerless.

The Sri Lankan has passed away, so who is to blame?

Chu Yuanzhi finally calmed down and sat down heavily.

How will he support this distant dynasty, and how will he face that wolf-like Tuoba Yuan?How to face the rebels everywhere?

Even if he revises the memorials every day until late at night, even if he saves every penny for disaster relief, in front of the ever-growing refugees and the barbarians who are staring at him, all the struggles seem so pale and powerless.

Without a reliable general and capable ministers, how would he save the country.

There was despair and remorse in Chu Yuanzhi's eyes.

After a while, those despair and remorse gradually dissipated, replaced by firmness that gradually settled.Chu Yuanzhi picked up the white jade light bucket pen on the table - this is the pen that Chu Xiuzhi often used when he was in power. It has been cold to the heart.Chu Yuanzhi spread out the imperial decree, lightly dipped in the ink, moved his wrist slightly, and began to write slowly.

His characters are moderate and peaceful, which is the most decent and good character.Unlike his elder brother, who used the pen freely and freely, showing his sharpness, and his whole body seemed to be so proud that he wanted to break through the thin rice paper.Written in the imperial decree, there is an awkward feeling of a hermit being an emperor.

Brother Huang, even the words, I am more suitable for this position than you.Chu Yuanzhi said in a low voice, but the tiredness on his face could not be concealed.
