Daily note

"Bastard! Stupid! Fool!"

After scolding a few times, I felt a little better in my heart.Bi Zihao rarely showed any emotion on his face, but at this moment he showed his anger to the fullest.

Since the conversation that day, Bi Zihao has been in a bad mood, but he doesn't know the reason.Although I didn't expect Fang Jibei to have such thoughts, logically speaking, it's not something to be too angry about...

But just very angry.

Although my approach was indeed deliberate, at the beginning it was indeed with hatred, and I even thought about killing him, but...

Bi Zihao suddenly froze.

This kind of complaining mentality is really strange.What does it matter what Fang Jibei thinks?My purpose was not to gain Fang Jibei's trust, was it?

Why……

Why is there such a feeling of grievance?Whatever he thinks of himself, what does it matter?

Why...why do you care about him so much?

Bi Zihao wandered around in the imperial garden, thinking of the depression, even squatted down to pick up the short winter grass, as if venting his anger at Fang Jibei.

The imperial garden is no longer exclusive to the emperor, but a gardener invited by Fang Jibei.So when there were more people in the garden, Bi Zihao didn't care, but continued to weed.

But the man stopped in front of him: "Bisher?"

Bi Zihao froze for a moment, looked up at the man, and was suddenly taken aback.

"Talk about Yan Heng?" Bi Zihao blurted out, frowning.

"As expected, you still remember me, although I have never paid attention to you, Bisheren..." The man smiled slightly. It’s such an astonishing appearance. No wonder... dare to ask the emperor to have you.”

"The late emperor has passed away, and the future son-in-law has entered the palace, is he going to catch up with me?" Bi Zihao asked coldly.

"Where, I'm here to ask for congratulations." Tan Yanheng smiled brightly, "Today is not Bishe's rotation, so I don't know yet, the emperor has already appointed me the champion of liberal arts, I came in while visiting the garden of."

Bi Zihao's thoughts turned in an instant.

This guy is not from an official family, so although he is in love with the princess, not many ministers have seen him.Even so, this guy is brave enough to take part in the imperial examination under a fake name...

"Yan Tan, right? I also said where did such a talented man come from? He turned out to be the prospective son-in-law." Bi Zihao also smiled, and said, "Does the champion want to be an official in the court? In this case, you and I are the same." If the palace is called a minister, I am afraid that the son-in-law will have to live under me temporarily..."

"Ren Bi She, I entered the court as an official, of course for the sake of the princess." Tan Yanheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I just want to know, you Bi She, do you also have the same idea?"

"Princess...is she okay?" Bi Zihao asked with a flash in his eyes.

Tan Yanheng's expression softened: "You can ask me that, but it seems that she hasn't changed. She is very good, but the hatred of the country and the family make her not want to bring soldiers back all the time."

"Did the princess ask you to come to me?" Bi Zihao asked, then felt that the question was too stupid, and smiled sideways, "Should I be honored that the princess still remembers a little person like me?"

"If you hadn't done such shocking things, the princess wouldn't have any impression of you." Tan Yanheng said, "The princess told me that you can absolutely be trusted, because no one loves her brother more than you. You , will never let the person who killed him go."

Bi Zihao lowered his head and looked at his own fingertips.His hands didn't tremble at all, but only he knew that his palms were cold and ice-cold at the moment.

"What if the princess is wrong?" Bi Zihao asked in a low voice, "What if... I'm greedy for power and money, and I'm not willing to give up the deputy prime minister... What if I betray you, or even the princess..."

"Will you?" Tan Yanheng looked at him and asked, "Princess said, you may be less likely to change your mind than mine... I have only known her for a few years, and we get together less often and leave more. And you have been with her all the time. When the emperor is together, there is no one else in your eyes except him."

Bi Zihao lowered his head, his voice was generally calm: "What do you want me to do?"

Tan Yanheng smiled with satisfaction: "I want you to tell me the actions of the thief, and at the same time inquire about his division of troops, whether there are any soldier talismans and the like, it is best to steal them... At the same time, as the deputy prime minister, you want to Cultivate your own influence at all times, if possible, let the thief send me to a local government instead of entering some Hanlin Academy..."

"Hanlin Academy is long gone, don't you know?" Bi Zihao raised his head and looked at him with a half-smile, "Your spy in the court is not very competent."

Tan Yanheng's expression turned awkward: "That..."

"You can rest assured that as long as you don't show your talents in a specific field, the emperor will not keep you in Beijing. But I advise you not to make it public. Although there are no spies, the people all over the world are all of them. eyes and ears." Bi Zihao's smile evoked and widened, "You better be more careful."

Tan Yanheng looked at Bi Zihao's smile and suddenly felt a little chilly.

He couldn't stay longer, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

Bi Zihao looked at his back and said in a low voice, "Should I thank you for reminding me, or should I resent you for wanting to attack him?"

He had a strange expression on his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was happiness or what: "I only have eyes for him... So, that's how it is..."

With manpower, Dayue walked on the road of progress smoothly.

In the last years of the previous dynasty, it can be said that there are many problems.Traitors are in power, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are in dire straits.Although Emperor Chengzhao did not add any new policies to disturb the people during his reign in the last three years, he did not do anything useful either.

This country is on the verge of collapse, even if the emperor is replaced by another person.

With so many things coming to one place, Bi Zihao watched Fang Jibei busy, and watched him get thinner and thinner, not knowing what it felt like.I can only try my best to share his worries and make him relax as much as possible.

There was some rift between the two, Fang Jibei said that Bi Zihao was already the deputy prime minister, and it would be shameful for them to live together, so he built a few rooms outside the palace, let Bi Zihao live there, and assigned a maid to serve him .

Bi Zihao was so suffocated that he didn't want to mention it—it used to be that he didn't think about attacking that person every night when he shared the bed, but now he was driven away from him, but he couldn't fall asleep because of missing him.

If you are still with him now, at least...you can do something while he is asleep at night, such as kissing him secretly.

Ever since I fed him water that night, I have always wanted to taste the taste of his lips, but I didn't realize it at the time, and now I have no chance.

...Don't think like this, there will definitely be opportunities, as long as you work hard to seize them.At least now there is no one around him, only himself.

Bi Zihao looked down at his fingers.

What you want most, you can never give up.There was nothing these hands couldn't grasp, unless he didn't want it at all.

"Bi Xiang, Bi Xiang?"

Kong Zhigao yelled several times, but Bi Zihao still bowed his head in a daze, so he wanted to stretch out his hand to push him.

Just as he was about to start, Fang Jibei, who was sitting on the side, said, "Xiao Bi."

Bi Zihao immediately came back to his senses: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Kong Zhigao frowned slightly, feeling that Bi Zihao's attitude was too obvious, and interjected: "Bi Xiang, we are discussing the issue of winter..."

"Winter?" Bi Zihao was stunned for a moment, "It's just to burn more fire so that it doesn't freeze, what can we discuss?" This kind of trivial matter is worth discussing by an emperor and three prime ministers?

Kong Zhigao and Fang Jibei showed helpless expressions, while Wu Sansheng was a little ashamed, and pulled Bi Zihao: "Bi Xiang, it's about the winter for the people."

The same scene happened a moment ago. Wu Sansheng thought he cared about the world, but like Bi Zihao, he didn't expect any problems in the winter, so he was despised by Kong Zhigao and Fang Jibei.

Although the starting point is the same, the subsequent performance is very different.Bi Zihao quickly understood their plan, and had a heated discussion with them.Although Wu Sansheng tried his best to intervene, it was clear that there were not many useful things.

That's all for the emperor and the prime minister, they came from the common people, so it's normal for them to know a lot about this.Wu Sansheng thought to himself in boredom: Why can't he even compare to Deputy Prime Minister Bi?Bi Zihao doesn't understand this kind of thing either, and he's still a child...

Looking at the three people in front of him, Wu Sansheng had to admit that he was old and it was time for him to give way.

When Da Wei died, the reason why he did not commit suicide or retire was that he was worried about the country and the people, and worried that this group of soldiers and peasants would mess up the country.

But who would have thought that although the emperor could not read Chinese characters, and could not even distinguish between the three provinces and the six divisions, he had other talents in governing the country.What he did, some of which seemed to be thoughtless, often worked wonders in practice.

That Kong Zhigao may be far behind in learning, but he is really a counselor.Together, the two are already very powerful in practical application.

And now there is one more Bi Zihao.

In terms of knowledge and ability, this child under [-] is better than himself in every way.Thanks to his hard work, the half-monthly newspaper has gone out of the capital, and its influence has gradually expanded. Many famous scholars and scholars have been defeated by this child.

And this child was just a shadow behind Emperor Chengzhao half a year ago.

Emperor Chengzhao had been on the throne for three years, but he didn't seem to have noticed that child, and he didn't even remember his appearance, name or voice...

With these three together, what else can Dayue worry about?Now thinking of my original idea of ​​"serving the country and the people", I feel ridiculous.

He watched the discussion between the three of them in full swing, and smiled, thinking that it would be fine to make a pot of tea for them, anyway.Walking to the door, I saw a person standing outside the door.

"Senior officials? What are you doing standing there?" Wu Sanxing recognized the man and asked.

"Reporting to Wu Xiang, I'm here to find the emperor..." The senior official replied, looking into the room.

Wu Sansheng knew that he didn't want to disturb those three people, so he said, "What's the matter? If it's important, it's better to talk about it earlier."

"It shouldn't be particularly important, but..." The executive hesitated for a moment, and said, "The old man Mu said that he would go out of the palace to see the frozen soil in the ground, so he can decide what to plant in the spring, and then write it in the semi-monthly report. article. He went out yesterday, but until now...hasn't come back..."

Wu Sansheng's face changed slightly, and he let the senior officials come in: "This matter is important, let the emperor decide."

It's cold in the capital city, and it has snowed a few times these days, and the sky and the earth are all white.At this time, most people stayed at home and walked around the farmland in the suburbs of Beijing, with almost no footprints on the ground.Bai Xue reflected the light, so bright that people's eyes were a little dazzled.

A gust of wind blows, blowing up the broken snow, as if it is snowing again.The chill was piercing, Bi Zihao couldn't help shivering slightly, and his steps were a little messy.

"Xiao Bi, you'd better go back, you're so weak, you can't bear it." Fang Jibei beside him couldn't help frowning when he saw him like this, and persuaded.

Bi Zihao shook his head, wrapped the fox fur tightly, and smiled wryly: "I've already put on the most cold clothes in the palace. If it's still cold, it's too useless. You're dressed so thin..."

Fang Jibei interrupted him: "I have rough skin, thick flesh and strong body, how can you compare with me?"

Bi Zihao looked a little sad: "Of course I don't dare to compare with you, Your Majesty..."

"That's not what I meant..." Fang Jibei heard that his tone was wrong, and hurriedly said, "I'm worried about you. If you catch a cold or something, you will be in trouble..."

"I have a lot of salary now, which is enough to hire an imperial physician, so you don't need to pay for it." Bi Zihao squinted at Fang Jibei, the fur on the fox fur slid across the side of his face, and some hairs probably got into his nose. " A sound interrupted the airy expression.

Fang Jibei couldn't help laughing: "I'm not that stingy yet, I'm really worried about you."

Bi Zihao buried his head in the fur, secretly laughed, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry, it's more important to find Mr. Mu."

In order to find Mr. Mu, almost all the people in the palace ran out. Fang Jibei wanted to stop Bi Zihao no matter what, but in the end he couldn't persuade him, so he had to come together with him.

At this moment, seeing Bi Zihao's small face flushed with cold, Fang Jibei felt a little distressed, so he just got closer, stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms, and shared his warm body temperature with Bi Zihao.

He concentrated on searching around, so naturally he couldn't see Bi Zihao's "earned" smile - even if he saw it, he wouldn't understand it.

It is really not easy to find people in this vast whiteness. It gets dark early in winter, and seeing the sky gradually darken, you can't see far away with your extreme eyes.Fang Jibei simply pulled Bi Zihao to stand on a high place, looked around, but still couldn't see anyone.

"Eh? Your Majesty, look, the soil here seems to have been turned over." Bi Zihao suddenly noticed something and shouted.

Fang Jibei quickly looked over.Sure enough, there was a piece of land a little farther away that was different, mixed with black and white.They hurried over and saw a series of footprints stretching out to the hills in the distance.

"Could it be that it was snowing when Mr. Mu was inspecting the land here, and he went to the other side of the mountain to avoid the snow?" Fang Jibei said to himself, following the footprints.

The suburbs of Beijing are full of small hills, such as the one in front of you.The mountain is not high, and it is easy to climb up.

"Be careful, there's a valley down here, it's hard to climb up if you fall." Fang Jibei told Bi Zihao, and led him to the top of the cliff, looking for footprints.

"Could it be that Mr. Mu fell?" The footprints disappeared on the edge of the cliff, Bi Zihao frowned and whispered, "Such an obvious cliff should not be there, and even if it fell, it's not very deep here, so there should be no problem..."

Although old man Mu is a bit older, he is in good health. Besides, he has worked all year round, so he should be very flexible.

Fang Jibei also frowned, looking around.

The pure white snow almost buried everything, but because of the wind, the top of the mountain has revealed the true color of the land, and there are some half-yellow green grass dotted in it.

Fang Jibei's eyes suddenly fell on a clump of grass: "This grass..."

He walked over, knelt down and looked at the weeds carefully, with a surprised expression on his face: "Someone has pulled the weeds here, and uprooted them, Xiao Bi, come and see..."

"Be careful!" Bi Zihao suddenly shouted.

Fang Jibei felt that the rocks under his feet were loose, and a gust of mountain wind blew him violently. He lost his balance and was about to fall down.

The place where it fell was a valley. Fang Jibei reached out to grab something, but he hesitated when he touched the clump of grass, and let go instead.

This grass is likely to be of some use, anyway, the valley is not deep, so it shouldn't matter if it falls.

While thinking this way, something grabbed his hand, and a cold and slippery touch wrapped around his wrist.Fang Jibei looked up for a moment, seeing Bi Zihao's anxious face.

He hesitated for a moment, but it was too late to let go.There was a huge difference in weight between the two of them, how could Bi Zihao be able to hold him, instead he was dragging him down the valley.

Bi Zihao only felt his body fall rapidly, but the person in front of him kept holding him tightly to protect him from harm.

He rested his head on Fang Jibei's chest, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The mountain wind was biting, and the two fell into the snow. Although they were not injured, the cold snow drifted into the sleeves of the two, turning into cold ice water.

Bi Zihao's health was not very good, he sneezed a few times and his body trembled slightly.Fang Jibei hugged him tightly and looked around. The light in the valley was extremely dark, but he couldn't find the way up in a hurry.He walked a few steps with Bi Zihao in his arms, and felt that he was trembling, so he couldn't help frowning.

Finally found a small hole on the mountain wall, Fang Jibei didn't have time to think about it, and walked in with the person in his arms.The hole was very deep, so he turned a corner and put him down, lit a fire pocket to check Bi Zihao's situation.

He protected him very well. Bi Zihao didn't suffer any injuries, but he couldn't stand the cold and his face turned pale.

Fang Jibei hesitated for a while, then began to undress.His coat was very wet from the snow, but he was still dry inside.He handed the underwear to Bi Zihao: "Take off your wet clothes and put on this. I'll go out and find some firewood."

Bi Zihao looked at him, his face became very ugly: "You... your body..."

Under the faint light of Huozhezi, Fang Jibei's body could also be seen with scars all over his body.There were stab wounds and whip wounds floating on his chest in all directions, and one even went down from his chest and sank into his waist.

Bi Zihao trembled a little, wanting to rush forward to confirm these scars.

Fang Jibei looked down, and smiled nonchalantly: "Scared you, it's all old injuries, just ugly." He put on his wet clothes, and patted Bi Zihao's head, "Stay here Wait for me, put on your clothes, I'll be back soon."

After he finished speaking, he went out, Bi Zihao hugged his clothes in his arms, his eyes gradually turned cold.

So many injuries, very heavy.How did this man survive?How many times have you been tortured, and how many times have you even faced death?

Bi Zihao's heart felt cold for a while, his body became colder and his teeth chattered.

"Xiao Bi, is it cold? Just bear with me, I'll go make a fire right away." Falling into a warm embrace, Fang Jibei's voice rang in his ears, still honest and gentle.

Bi Zihao shook his head violently in his arms, holding the fire bag in one hand, and began to be rude to his clothes with the other hand.

He quickly took off Fang Jibei's hastily draped coat, revealing a large chest.Bi Zihao's eyes were straightened first, then some sourness welled up in his heart, which immediately turned into anger and heartache.

"These wounds..." His fingertips brushed over those scars.Not commensurate with his face, Fang Jibei's skin is relatively fairer, probably because he doesn't want others to see these injuries, so he seldom takes off his shirt.

The intact part felt good to the touch, which made Bi Zihao reluctant to move his hand away.The scar was rough to the touch, even a little harsh, Bi Zihao stared at it and felt the urge to kiss it.

This person, in a place that he didn't even know, had suffered such serious injuries.

"Xiao Bi, these injuries are nothing, really." Fang Jibei felt his concern, and said to him with a smile, "How can it be possible for someone who wields a knife and a gun not to be injured?"

That being said, hurting someone else is completely different from hurting him.

Seeing him biting his lip, Fang Jibei was about to cry, but he was still touching his wound carefully.He was a little confused and moved, and held Bi Zihao's hand: "Xiao Bi, I'm going to light a fire, and you also take off your wet clothes to bake, so as not to catch a cold, huh?"

Bi Zihao hesitated for a moment, feeling that this was really too abrupt, so he let go and sat aside.It's just that his eyes are always inseparable from his body, and the expressions in his eyes are also changeable.

"When did you get hurt? When you were an apprentice when you were young? When you were assigned? Or when you fought the world?" Bi Zihao watched him busy making a fire, and asked quietly, but there was a hidden gnashing of teeth in his tone, "It hurts." No pain?"

"Yes, it was quite painful at the time, just endure it."

With a crackle, the fire flared up, illuminating the cavern.Fang Jibei Wen Fangzheng's face was bright under the firelight, and Bi Zihao was in a daze.Fang Jibei didn't realize it, and dragged him to the fire.

"This hole looks very deep. There should be no snakes and insects in winter, but don't sit too far away, it's not good to be choked by the smoke."

Seeing Bi Zihao's expression, he couldn't help sighing: "Xiao Bi, you are a man anyway, don't be afraid of this kind of thing. Don't worry, with me by your side, you won't be hurt like this..."

Bi Zihao leaned over and fell into his arms, facing the hideous scar: "I won't let you suffer this kind of injury again!"

Fang Jibei was startled, a warm current flowed through his heart, and he stroked Bi Zihao's head: "Thank you."

"Having suffered so many injuries, don't you feel resentful? When you almost died, wouldn't you feel that it wasn't worth it?" Bi Zihao asked in a low voice, touching his wound distressedly.

Fang Jibei felt that the wound was itchy, and a strange feeling came up, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he retreated secretly.But Bi Zihao made an inch of it, and took advantage of the opportunity to stick his face on it.

"Like I said, when I was injured, when I was about to die, I thought I would survive so that others would not suffer like this."

While avoiding him as much as possible, Fang Jibei said, "Xiao Bi, I have been to Nanyang, where there are many small countries, and many people come from other places. Some countries are weak and some are strong, some people live well and some are not. Worse than David... I thought at the time, if I could, I would make my country a hundred times stronger than those countries."

As Fang Jibei spoke, Bi Zihao had raised his head, his hands were still moving on his chest, but his eyes were already facing him.

"Xiao Bi, maybe I don't have any skills and can't do anything, but there are so many people in this country, as long as they are given a chance, they will make a good life for themselves.

"As long as good seeds are selected, no one will continue to plant the ones with bad harvests and weather resistance. As long as everyone knows that there are good officials, no one will bear to have bad officials sitting on top of them... I may not have done it properly. , there may be troubles, but I will go to see and listen to correct it..."

"Emperor...I..."

I want to call him, but I feel that the word emperor is too distant.He wanted to call Ji Bei, but he didn't dare to be rash.Bi Zihao only felt that his heart was beating violently. The dimness of the cave and the gentle fire light fueled his impulse, and the half-clothed appearance of the person in front of him made him want to bite the other person and swallow him whole.

"I'll help you, can you..."

"I will help the emperor too!" An old voice interrupted Bi Zihao, drowning out his words "with me".

Bi Zihao was taken aback, and looked further into the cave.I saw old man Mu, who they had been searching for for a long time, come out from the depths, holding a clump of grass in his hand, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have already dealt with it. These weeds are the rice seeds I saw more than ten years ago." , with it, if all goes well, I can grow high-yielding rice within two years..."

Fang Jibei was overjoyed when he heard the words, put Bi Zihao down, and walked up to Old Man Mu: "Old Man Mu, did you also fall from above? Are you all right? Why don't you go back?"

"It's not easy for the old man to climb the mountain." Mr. Mu said, his face was a little squeamish, "...Well, I was so happy to get the rice seeds, and I was afraid that the cold weather would hurt me. I pulled out these trees, so I did it first. After processing it, I forgot the time after researching it. Anyway, I brought dry food with me... By the way, are you hungry, Your Majesty? I still have a few steamed buns..."

Fang Jibei did not refuse, and took old man Mu to sit by the fire, discussing excitedly while gnawing dry and cold steamed buns, and even helped Bi Zihao dry his wet clothes.Bi Zihao sat on the sidelines and watched the two of them exuberantly, and bit the steamed bun so hard that his teeth ached.He was angry and gnawed down even more fiercely.

——I almost said it, no matter how bad it is, I can take advantage of it.You said that you are so old, how can your ears still work so well.Isn't it just rice? What's the big deal...

Though thinking this way, Bi Zihao looked sideways at Fang Jibei, his face was reddened by the flames, of course it might be because of excitement.The whole person showed joy and was so alive.

Forget it, although it's a pity that such a good opportunity, but he is happy, that's fine.
