Big Han Weiyang

Exit the West Sima Gate, enter the complex road connecting Weiyang Palace and Xinjiaochang, and then drive on a Qin Zhi Road that is more than ten miles long and passes through the dense forest.

At Rizhao Linkai, more than a dozen huge old palaces of the former Qin Afang Palace are dotted between the continuous foothills of Zhongnan Mountain, Taiye Pool and Tangzhong Pool. This is the southeast corner of Shanglin Garden.

The blue color on the top of Zhongnan Mountain fades into the clouds.At the foot of the mountain, Tianchou Tibu is undulating and layered, with pines and cypresses, and strange stones everywhere.

In front of the broken hill there is a dense locust tree forest. In midsummer, the shade of the tree is as cool as spring, but where the sun shines, it seems that all the water has been drained. The land and rocks are dry to the point of cracking. Weeds grow tenaciously.

We all wore long jackets and big hakamas, held crossbows, bows and spears, and ran and hid on horseback or on foot, sweating profusely and panting.

I don't know why I am so obsessed with destroying the Huns.

This idea has been deeply rooted in my mind since I was a child, and it becomes more and more profound as I get older.It even reminds me in the form of nightmares when I occasionally forget.

Although the dream became blurred, I will never forget the feeling of helplessness when I was standing alone in the ruined city in the dream.

This probably explains why in the sweltering June, I didn't watch memorials with Emperor Jing in Xuanshi Hall, escape the summer heat in Qingliang Hall, take a boat ride in Cangchi, or listen to Wei Wan's talk about Huang Lao in Shiqu Pavilion, but brought a group of young princes and officials , The guards slipped to Shanglinyuan to practice fighting against the Huns.

This is the third time in a month.Although Emperor Jing blamed me for not doing my studies, he did not stop me.

I called Liu She the last two times.His charge is quite strong, I played against him on the plains and lost a game.Relying on the layout of the formation, they regained a round by Tang Zhongchi.

He didn't come today. I heard that he went to Prime Minister Zhou Yafu for advice on the art of war.So this time, Han Shuo led people to wear yellow clothes to act as Huns, and my people wore red clothes, so they were naturally the Han army.The prince's officials are divided into Shichang and Wuchang, and the guards are soldiers.

Since there is a war, even if it is a game, it needs to see some blood to be exciting.Therefore, among the soldiers on both sides, there are two or three death row prisoners raised from the prison to hold key positions such as holding the flag.The end of the game is usually embellished with their blood.

In fact, there are not many soft-hearted and kind-hearted people in the Liu family.Needless to say, Gao Zu, he changed from a rogue in the market to the founding emperor, and there were countless corpses under his feet regardless of whether he was the enemy or us.

Emperor Jing, who looks kind and forbearing now, was actually forced out.When Emperor Jingdi was young, he used a chessboard to throw the prince to death because he competed with the prince of Wu playing Go.Indirectly caused King Wu to launch the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.The violence of temper is evident.

And among my group of elder brothers and nephews, those who hide in the fief and act recklessly, are cruel and confused, like to kill people and torture them, there are countless of them.

Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Jing, these death row prisoners are just another dispensable blemish in the misdeeds of me and Liu Zhi after we uncovered the tiles in the upper house of Weiyang Palace.

The opponent is Han Said, I won too easily.Among the stone forests at the foot of the mountain, Han Shuo's subordinates threw away their helmets and armor. He fled into the woods with Sang Hongyang and a few remnants of the soldiers. I asked Zhang Ou to lead people to pursue them. Seeing that they were defeated.

There was only one pawn struggling to support the battle flag on the opposite hill.

Coming to the end of this boring campaign, I finally got a little interested.

I picked out an arrow with iron clusters from Li Danghu's quiver, and told them to retreat further.The sun was covered by the dense shade of trees, I clamped my horse's back, opened my longbow, and aimed at the shaky yellow clothes.

Just as he was about to loosen the string, his wrist was firmly imprisoned by five fingers.

"Who!" I exclaimed.

The bow swung, and the arrow drew an arc obliquely in the sky.

"His Royal Highness, don't you think it's cruel to kill people so recklessly?"

A calm reprimanded voice sounded behind him.

What are Li Danghu and the others doing, why did they let a stranger over.

My scalp tightened, and my right shoulder, which was protecting the armor, slammed back hard.I can draw a bow that is one and a half stone, and my strength is not inferior to that of an adult sergeant.

But not only did I not touch a piece of the man's clothes, but I almost broke my own wrist.

My heart sank.With his left hand pinned, he pulled out the sword from his right waist, turned his horse around, and saw the man's true face.

The man looked to be in his thirties, dressed in dark black clothes, a blue silk burqa, and tied the ribbon of a first-rank official around his waist.The temperament is like a bottle of ancient tripod, deep and heavy.There was a faint anger on his face, I was frightened by his aura, and the sword couldn't go out.

I didn't care about my flinching, so I pouted my neck and said, "That pawn pretending to be a Hun was originally a bandit in the mountains. According to the law, he should have cut his waist and abandoned the city. So what if I killed him. What are you... dare to offend me like this!" I Swallow the word "thing".

Although I wanted to be tough, what I said seemed like an explanation.I can't wait to slap myself, what happened today.

Glancing back at Li Danghu and a few attendants, I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug they were given, and they all stood sideways pretending not to see it, and had no intention of coming forward to help me at all.Only Guo Sheren leaned on the horse, bowed his head and quarreled with Li Danghu in a low voice, then turned his head and gave me a wink, and galloped away.

"His Royal Highness thinks they are death row prisoners?" The man's voice was like a piece of green wine that had just been taken out of an ice cave, cold and mellow.He clearly called me His Royal Highness, but his tone was close to that of an elder teaching the younger generation.

I was so angry that I wiped the sweat off my face with my arm: "What is it that is not a death row prisoner? Rather than letting them live until autumn, isn't it a good choice to die like this?"

In front of him, I can't call myself a widow.It's not so much fear, it's more like a kind of awe for the elders.Even if I am on the horse and he is off the horse, there is a feeling that it is not he who looks up to me, but I who look up to him.

He shook his head slowly: "As far as I know, most of the people here are not worthy of death. It is the officials of the Central Capital who came to coerce them with heavy sentences in order to cater to His Highness."

"Aren't they guilty of death?" I was slightly startled, and then understood in his silence that he was waiting for me to feel guilty.Whether these people deserve to die is not important now, we will investigate later, the important thing is not to lose momentum.

I sneered and said, "Why should I believe you? What's more, it doesn't matter if you are innocent, if you kill, you will be killed. To me, there is no difference between death row prisoners and civilians, people and chickens and dogs, living things and dead things."

In fact, I really do think so.Except for the four or five close relatives around me, even Su Xiang Wan Xiang, who watched me grow up, is dispensable.If it is necessary to execute them, I will not blink when I order them, let alone these prisoners who have never met before?

He was silent, those deep eyes unknowingly attracted me in, I was suffocated, my wrists were purple from his confinement, I couldn't break free, as if I had returned to the place where only the darkness and blood red remained, and I looked around desolately. Dream.

When I came back to my senses, the sky was sunny, the breeze was singing, the branches and leaves of the pines, cypresses and elms were rustling, and I was sweating coldly in the shade.

"What the hell are you trying to do, let me go!"

"His Royal Highness, people and prisoners are also human beings. If you experience their feelings, you will find that they have their own lives just like you. They will be happy, painful, weeping, and sad..."

I interrupted him: "What does the ant's feelings and life have to do with me!"

"You're just a rock, you haven't really become a human yet." His expression became more serious, and he pulled me off the horse.

I never imagined that he would dare to do this. Seeing the solid ground getting closer and closer, I closed my eyes in mid-air, first with my left elbow, and then with my whole body weight on the ground, throwing up a cloud of dust.

The helmet scratched a deep mark on his face, and Gu Rumble rolled out.I was so dizzy from the fall that I was dazed, my chest was stuffy, I almost lost the feeling in my left elbow, my face was burning with pain, sand mixed with sweat flowed into my eyes and wounds, and it took me a long time to get up.

Damn Li Danghu didn't help me, I really wanted to chop him up.

"If you want to govern the country, you must first love the people. Since you were born, you have been clothed in rich clothes and rich food, and you are high above you. You only have the arrogance of being a descendant of the Liu family, but you lack a human heart. You don't understand the joys and sorrows of the people, what you love and what you hate , how to govern the country? How can you be the master of others if you don’t understand the seven emotions and don’t know benevolence and righteousness?”

What the hell is he talking about?To be a host, isn’t it enough to know some Confucius, Mencius, Huang Lao, and the tactics of manipulating people? Knowing what ordinary people do, do you want me to curry favor with them?

Why is this man crazy? I don't know what it means!

I shook my head, shaking the sweat off my face, stood up on my knees, and slashed at his leg with the saber horizontally. He hit my wrist with his knee, and my whole wrist was numb, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

"His Royal Highness may think that the people are ants. But the reason why you are so high is that the people have built a high platform for you with their trust and love. If they can build a high platform, they can tear it down. When the high platform collapses one day, You will be worse than ants. Just like when you were hunted down in the snow."

When we met for the first time, he called me His Highness King Guangchuan, and the second time he called me His Highness Prince. I should have thought of the same tone.

"Are you Wei Meng, the Minister of Liang who saved us?" I was dying in his arms last time, and I forgot to pay attention to his appearance.

He is respected by Emperor Jing, and I have learned a lot from the teaching in the carriage.

Since the target is him, it is probably true that he was right and I was wrong about what happened today.

I gritted my teeth and swallowed: "What do you want!"

"His Royal Highness needs to understand fear and pain. People need to be fearful in order to make every move, as if walking on thin ice, and never make mistakes. Only after suffering can one be sympathetic to the people."

"Teach?" I sneered, "Why do you, don't think that you can tell me what to do if you saved me once," I pulled my hand back hard, "Li Danghu, are you dead? If you don't die, get out of here come over!"

"His Royal Highness," Li Danghu stood far away, pointed to Wei Meng's sword and seal, and said hesitantly, "He is the emperor's new crown prince."

When he said that, I remembered that Emperor Jing had indeed told me to let me play for a few more days, and when the grand master he invited arrived, I would completely concentrate on studying.it's him?

I froze for a moment, raised my head, and looked at Wei Meng's expressionless face.

There was a continuous sound of hoofbeats behind him.Guo Sheren led Han Shuo and Zhang Ou to gallop down from the foot of the mountain.

"Let go of His Royal Highness!" Zhang Ou and others surrounded us on horseback.

"Your Highness, are you okay!" Han said hurriedly got off the horse, helped me up carefully, and wiped the dust.He saw my purple right hand and the blood on my cheek, and confronted Wei Meng vigilantly.

Li Danghu stomped his feet and said: "Han said, don't get involved with Guo Sheren, it's not your responsibility for Wei Taifu to teach the prince."

"His Royal Highness, before we meet next time, please take care of yourself."

Wei Meng let go of my hand, took his horse by the tree, and walked along the foot of the mountain to the east of Weiyang Palace.

Good for yourself?I licked the fishy sweetness on my lips, and reluctantly took the bow and arrow that Han said.The arrow was as fast as a shooting star, crossing a distance of several tens of feet, and piercing through the throat of the pawn on the hill.

"Don't you feel pity for the common people? I'll kill him now, what can you do!" I laughed angrily.

Wei Meng looked back indifferently.

I stared at him, the longbow drawn to the full moon, and the arrow aimed at his head.Yet his dark eyes made my heart skip a beat.

Facing the threat of a young nobleman who despises human life, he turned around indifferently and walked forward slowly.The skirt swayed lightly in the wind, as calm as a leisurely stroll in the garden.

The tip of the arrow trembled slightly with his breath, his back was so close, but...

I let go of the string, Heimang didn't even touch the corner of his black robe, far away from the target, and sank into the bushes.

But I dare not kill him at all.
