Ever since he got the imperial decree to negotiate peace, Ren Ren knew that his idea was still reported to Xiao Tianhong, and his father finally compromised.
What Ren Ren didn't know was that after discussing his plan with Ren Fengjiang and several confidants (except Ren Feng, who he would never accept), even Zhang Li, who had always been reckless and passionate, agreed to Ren Ren's plan.
The parents and relatives of these lieutenants and counselors were almost all killed by water bandits more than ten years ago, including women and children, so these people's hatred for water bandits has reached the point where they want to eat their flesh and drink their blood the point.In their view, Ren Ren's plan is not insidious, on the contrary, it only makes the children of the water bandits vulnerable to fractures, which is still cheap for them.
Ren Fengjiang insisted on his own opinion and refused to give in. This approach made him reluctant to do so even if he was used to killing.Several lieutenants and confidantes had to discuss in secret. The lieutenants in the army have the right to send the memorial directly to the emperor, and performed the secret memorial by themselves.The delivery method of the secret memorial is different from that of ordinary memorials. Even if the usual memorials are rushed, it takes more than ten days to travel from Binmen to Benkyo, while the secret memorial only takes five days to arrive.Therefore, it was only more than half a month when Emperor Tianren's imperial edict came down to Binmen.
These days, Ren Ren has not seen his father.Although he rarely saw each other before, it was because his father was busy with military affairs at that time, but now he knew that it was because his father avoided him deliberately.
Ren Fengjiang was also struggling these days.Several lieutenants and confidants passed him and went to the memorial secretly, and he was furious after beheading first and then playing.But after being angry, he was also helpless. He could understand that such a method did not feel vicious to these people, because they had a blood feud with the pirates. He had no position to say "this is too cruel" and so on. They forgive their enemies.
But my own son, who has always been smart and lovely, has never had any contact with water bandits, let alone any hatred. Even if he has national hatred for water bandits, he can't empathize with those who have experienced them.
So he knew even more that Ren Ren was only out to protect the Ren family, in order to not only delay the time to eradicate the water bandits, make the Ren family invincible, but also make great contributions without bloodshed.The intention is good, but the means used are chilling. Even if it was his son, he still shudders when he thinks about it.
When did this young child become what he is now?Ren Fengjiang was startled and even more distressed.He has a wealth of experience, so of course he can guess that such a huge change in a person's temperament must be caused by a major change. Then, the only thing he can guess is the year when he was the prince's companion in the palace.
That year, he and Ren Feng were not in Benjing, what happened to his youngest son?General Dingyuan, appointed by his dignified late emperor, didn't even have the courage to hear about his son... It's just that he didn't think His Majesty would agree to the secret report. How could such a vicious scheme be based on "benevolence" The favorite of the famous emperor?
Ren Fengjiang didn't know until he received His Majesty's imperial edict that his son guessed it right.Judging from the time when the imperial decree was released, Emperor Tianren, who ruled the world with benevolence, agreed to the plan for a truce without any hesitation.Although the imperial decree did not explicitly say that he would agree to poisoning, Ren Fengjiang understood this emperor... Sure enough, "benevolence" is just a cover?
Blade, did it really change during the year she was by his side?
Therefore, Ren Fengjiang, who has always engraved the idea of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" into his bones, couldn't help but feel resentful towards Xiao Tianhong, why did you bring my son down? !
Resentment to resentment, there are still many preparations to be made to welcome the emperor, first of all, to calm down the restlessness of the soldiers.In the Ren family army guarding the frontier, most of the soldiers joined because of their deep hatred for the pirates. Now that the imperial decree suddenly said to negotiate a peace, how can the general soldiers accept it?Even the common people complained.
Naturally, the secret poisoning plan cannot be made public.Therefore, while the generals were preparing to meet the emperor's busy feet, they also had to find a group of reasons to appease the soldiers and the people.
More than half a month later, amidst the vague expectations of the generals and the emotional dissatisfaction of the masses, Emperor Tianren came to Zezhou City.
This day is late autumn.
The lush shade of trees on the side of the road began to wither and yellow a little. The autumn wind swept by, and the ground was decadent and yellow, which seemed to be sad about the passing of life, or telling the ruthlessness of time.
Following this path of decay, Xiao Tianhong walked out of the emperor's car, looking at the people kneeling on the ground outside the Zezhou city gate, he didn't know whether it was anticipation or apprehension.He quickly walked to Ren Fengjiang and Li Zhoushou who were at the front, and helped them up, exchanging greetings, but his eyes could not control the figure of a person in the crowd.
Soon, not far behind Ren Fengjiang, he saw that familiar but also somewhat strange person.He lowered his head, not peeking at himself curiously like the others, as if he wanted to curl up into a ball, so as not to attract his attention at all.Such Ren Ren... can't be wrong, he finally found him.
Xiao Tianhong took a deep breath, tried his best to maintain the dignity that an emperor should have, looked away as if nothing had happened, said a few words to the soldiers and the common people, and entered the city together with the officials.
The horses and horses were exhausted, and the officials unanimously sent Xiao Tianhong to the governor's mansion to rest in a considerate manner, and then retreated and hurried away.It's just that Xiao Tianhong didn't have the intention to rest at all. After the confidant cleaned up all the guards in the residence, he called Shunfu and ordered: "Go, visit where Ren Ren lives."
"Yes." Although Shunfu was puzzled, he immediately responded and turned around to leave.
Xiao Tianhong sat blankly on the reclining chair by the window, his eyes cast far away on the blue sky, his thoughts were a little far away.He finally came here, breathing the same air under the same blue sky as that person.He told himself countless times: Since he is not in Benkyo, forget it.
As the lord of the Hua Kingdom, how can he be entangled in a mere person?However, he is not reconciled, how can he be reconciled?The person who always surrounds him with all his heart and will be delighted by one of his smiles, he really wants to save...
Hands gently climbed up the corner of the mouth, trying to cover the bitter arc.Therefore, he almost searched Zezhou for news as much as he could, and only favored Wang Pingting, who had known Ren Ren, because he could know a little more about that person's life after he left him.
He used to be so disdainful of Ren Ren's flattery and love, he once thought that Ren Ren could not leave him.So he squandered Ren Ren's love for him recklessly, it didn't matter if he looked coldly at him, he didn't care about letting insults go, even taking his life didn't matter!Because he doesn't believe in love, doesn't understand love, and doesn't know how to love.
However, when he understood vaguely, that love had already been ruined. The person who no longer loves and dare not love him, leaves him far away, but lives happily and happily.
I thought it would be good to watch, even if I was alone at night, I would feel unwilling and sad.But when he received the unexpected secret report, he almost forgot the principle that an emperor should not be overjoyed, and even felt that it was a waste of time to discuss with his confidant ministers, because he wanted to rush to Zezhou as soon as possible and see Ren Ren.
When he saw the secret performance, his heart suddenly stopped beating for a moment.He knew that only Ren Ren who knew him best would dare to submit such a memorial to the emperor who had always been honored by "benevolence".So the heart that had already given up had a little new hope, maybe Ren Ren still remembers him, right?
The emperor lying on the reclining chair breathed lightly, and the silent silence made people fear for no reason.He waited quietly, waiting for the return of Shunfu, waiting for the opportunity to seize the happiness that was once within easy reach.
"Your Majesty, Second Young Master Ren lives on the west side." Soon, Shun Fu brought back the news he wanted.
The young emperor seemed to come alive at this moment, he jumped up from the reclining chair, his eyes glowed with a compelling look.Shunfu carefully arranged the bun and clothes, and smiled secretly, did he actually want to meet him in the best condition?It always seems to be the other way around...
After tidying up his complicated mood, Xiao Tianhong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and walked quickly to the house where Ren Ren was.
Because Emperor Tianren lived temporarily, the people in the state mansion were very peaceful and did not dare to run around, so under the deliberate avoidance, almost no one was seen on the road, and Xiao Tianhong arrived outside the door of Ren Ren's room.
He signaled Shunfu not to make a sound, but the emperor, who was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, saw the situation inside the house through the half-opened window lattice.As if he was tired, the boy was lying on the table with his head sideways, sleeping lightly with his arm pillowed on his pillow, and still holding a writing brush in his other hand. His knuckle fingers loosely circled the black pen holder, and the color was distinct.
On his face was a tranquility that Xiao Tianhong had never seen before, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as if he had dreamed of something beautiful.Xiao Tianhong suddenly remembered that Ren Ren seemed to have never smiled like this in front of him, not even such a shallow smile.
At the beginning, his smile was always flattering, and he carefully observed the emperor's expression when he spoke, for fear of making him unhappy.If his expression was a little softer, a pleasant smile would bloom on Ren Ren's face, as if it was a great gift to him.It's just that these expressions can always be seen on the faces of those concubines, Xiao Tianhong just feels bored, and he doesn't have the heart to observe Ren Ren's expression.
and after?Xiao Tianhong couldn't remember much, and Ren Ren rarely smiled later.Even though there is a smile on the face, there is no emotion in the eyes, only very occasionally, very occasionally there will be a flash of light, and it will disappear in a flash.
After that, after that, there was no longer even a fake smile on his face, only dead silence remained.
Clenching his teeth unconsciously, Xiao Tianhong felt a sudden stuffiness in his heart.This kind of strange emotion that has lasted for many years, as long as the person named Ren Ren is mentioned, it will flare up, and it has almost become a habit.
Ren Ren...
Looking at him fixedly, Xiao Tianhong did not dare to knock on the door with his raised hand. The emperor, who has always been rebellious, actually felt a little bit of fear at this moment. He was a little afraid that this knock would wake up the scene in front of him.The person he tried to forget in the depths of his memory, but suddenly reappeared, would disappear like this.
Just standing outside the door like this, standing blankly, as if his eyes were glued, unable to move away from that person's body.In fact, his sleeping appearance is not good, with his mouth slightly open, and it seems that saliva is sliding down the corner of his mouth, because of the wrong posture, there is also a shallow snoring sound.But Xiao Tianhong looked at it with some greed, looking at the person he was finally able to touch again after being lost for many years.
After an unknown amount of time, Ren Ren slowly opened his eyes, sat up slowly, rubbed his eyes, and wiped the corners of his mouth.His vision was dazed for a long time before he gradually regained his clarity. He clearly glanced out of the window, but he didn't notice the person standing outside his door for a long time.
Xiao Tianhong felt oppressed again, which made it difficult for him to breathe.The former Ren Ren was not like this, the former Ren Ren could always see him at first sight in the crowd, every time he hadn't even walked to the door Ren Ren would have been the first to greet him.It seems that there is a tacit understanding, and his existence can always be felt.
Stretching out his hand, he knocked lightly on the door a few times, and he waited quietly.
Just a short while later, the wooden door was opened, revealing the young man's face stained with ink from sleeping on the rice paper.Xiao Tianhong suppressed his complicated emotions, just took out the handkerchief in his arms, gently stroked the boy's face, and smiled lightly: "What's wrong, his face is covered in ink."
Ren Ren was already in a daze, he almost thought that the person in front of him was a hallucination.Didn't Xiao Tianhong always avoid him?How could it appear outside his door?What's more, he actually looked at him tenderly?It wasn't until the smooth touch of silk came from his face that Ren Ren suddenly came to his senses, and immediately knelt down on the ground: "Join Your Majesty. I don't know His Majesty is coming, and Ren Ren is very frightened when he is lost and welcome." He leaned low, as if he would rather He lowered himself into the dirt and refused to look up at him.
Xiao Tianhong only felt that bitterness flowed from his mouth to his heart. In the past, Ren Ren was always not big or small. Even if he saluted, his eyes must be fixed on him. When did he lower his posture so much? How about avoiding his sight like this?
Slowly, he squatted down, stretched out his hands and raised the boy's head to be level with him.
"Ren Ren, it's been ten years, and I finally found you." The young emperor's strong fingertips gently rubbed his ink-stained cheeks, his tone was gentle and almost erratic.
Ren Ren opened his eyes wide, already inexplicably shocked.
What Ren Ren didn't know was that after discussing his plan with Ren Fengjiang and several confidants (except Ren Feng, who he would never accept), even Zhang Li, who had always been reckless and passionate, agreed to Ren Ren's plan.
The parents and relatives of these lieutenants and counselors were almost all killed by water bandits more than ten years ago, including women and children, so these people's hatred for water bandits has reached the point where they want to eat their flesh and drink their blood the point.In their view, Ren Ren's plan is not insidious, on the contrary, it only makes the children of the water bandits vulnerable to fractures, which is still cheap for them.
