〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

Three days later, the funeral of King Chu was held, and Rawage was in charge of the whole process one by one.Because this country does not require the etiquette of the king's death and the palace people to be buried together, so all the people in the palace just kneel on this day, and they can rest as much as possible from morning to night.

Laoag and his collateral relatives all went into the tomb and left after seeing King Chu's coffin was arranged.

After that, Laoag formally succeeded Kaining Xinyi as the king.

Xiao Zixian took Su Ye back to his home. Ni Yunge liked him very much and bought many gadgets for him.Xiao Zixian also met his elder brother whom he hadn't seen for many years, and the two brothers had a long talk.

At dinner in the evening, when asked about Xiao Zixian's future affairs, Niyunge thought that he would come back and continue to be a general, but he put down his chopsticks and said that he would leave Kaining tomorrow.

"Why do you want to leave Kaining?" His elder brother asked in confusion.

Xiao Zixian burped Su Ye obediently, and said: "The matter here has been settled, it doesn't matter if I leave."

"Where is that going?"

"Naturally bring Ye'er back to Qingchao."

Suddenly there was silence at the dinner table.

Su Ye was very happy to hear that he was going back, and fed Qing Ling a spoonful of vegetables.

Leaving the house the next day, his elder brother left early in the morning because he had to take care of the shop he was running.Niyunge also got up early and sent them out after eating.

Xiao Zixian handed the soldier talisman still on his body to his father, and said: "Please thank Laoag and Second Uncle on my behalf."

Niyunge took it, then patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are really a rigid and unreasonable person when you think of your second uncle? We have already guessed your thoughts."

Xiao Zixian also knew that there would be such a result, but he still let go of the gamble, because the gamblers are kind.

Fortunately, I didn't lose!

Xiao Zixian moved his lips and asked, "Father, why do you want to go back to Qing Dynasty if you don't ask me?"

"Haha, it's like you said, the matter here has been settled, how can I tie you up? Your temperament is just like your mother's, and you are used to it after living in Qingchao for a long time. Kai Ning, everything is fine. Well, it’s just that there are no flowing water and flowers, and the streets are bustling as those people said, so if you remember to come back and take a look when you have free time, that’s good.”

The words and sentences in the words were euphemistic, but Xiao Zixian could hear them clearly.

"By the way." Niyunge remembered something, "Go back to Qingchao and help Weifu find Moore and Lacy, two stinky boys. I haven't heard from him for so many days. I don't know why Weifu will be worried!"

I was busy with things these days, but I forgot about them, so Xiao Zixian agreed.

Seeing that he was about to leave the gate of Kaining City, Niyunge said, "Go, I'll watch here."

Xiao Zixian bowed deeply to his father, and then led Su Ye towards the city gate.

Su Ye sat on the horse and turned his head to wave goodbye to Niyunge, "Goodbye, Grandpa."

Niyunge's heart trembled when he was called, this kid is as cute as his own grandson!

The thousand-mile horse traveled for one day, and just in the evening, he caught up with the gate of Kyoto that was about to be closed.

Because he only ate two biscuits at noon, Xiao Zixian took Su Ye to the restaurant for dinner first, and he arrived safely anyway, not too late.

Xiao Er quickly brought up the dishes and said, "Guest officer, please take your time."

Xiao Zixian noticed that there was a black strip tied on his right arm, not only him, but almost everyone on the street was like him.Out of curiosity, he wanted to ask, so he said, "Second Brother, is it popular in Kyoto to wear straps on your hands?"

Pointing to the note, black doesn't seem like a good symbol.

"Guest officer, are you from another place?" Xiao Er lowered his voice, "Yesterday, the current emperor passed away, and now the whole country is in mourning. Everyone in Kyoto must tie the black stripes to their hands. The customs that have been passed down have been like this since ancient times, and this is to express our condolences."

The chopsticks in his hand fell instantly, Xiao Zixian didn't hear what he said behind, but frowned and asked: "What did you say?!"

"The emperor passed away, what happened yesterday."

Su Ye bit half of a meatball, and when he heard that something was wrong, he asked blankly, "What did you say?"

"I heard that it was because of being stabbed in the heart, and then went to the border regardless of the injury, and was in a coma after returning. You said that the assassin is so hateful! The Qing Dynasty lost its master again!"

After dismissing the waiter, Su Ye said with red eyes: "Teacher, is what he said true?"

Xiao Zixian recovered from the shock, covered the moisture in his eyes, and said: "Perhaps it was a joke, we will go back to the palace immediately after eating."

Su Ye lost his appetite after a few mouthfuls of food, thinking how could anyone dare to make fun of the emperor?

After paying the bill, Xiao Zixian led Su Ye back to the palace without stopping, without stopping for a moment.

Because of the jade card in his hand, he was not hindered from entering the palace.When Xiao Zixian passed through the East Palace, he ordered Su Ye's sleeping points and asked him to sleep first.

After covering him with the quilt, Xiao Zixian immediately went to Emperor Qing's bedroom, and the guard guarding the gate hurriedly knelt down to salute when he saw him coming.

"Is the emperor in the bedroom?"

The two guards looked at each other and nodded.

"I'm going in!"

"Prime Minister, please stay, the emperor should not be disturbed by anyone at this moment."

"Step aside!

Xiao Zixian's hostility gradually grew, and the guards couldn't stop him, so they had to open the door.

The dormitory is no longer as magnificent as it was at the beginning, replaced by white cloth and plain paper lanterns.

The person lying by the bed tent was dressed in white, handsome and handsome.Quiet as if just looking for words in a dream, and the laughter is long.

Xiao Zixian walked over step by step, as if spending all his energy in his life, his feet were trembling, and he knelt down slowly in front of him.

After a long time, Xiao Zixian murmured: "How could this be? How could it be?!"

Thinking back on everything these days, almost half of it was carried out as he thought, why did he not count this step?

"That day, I deliberately bypassed the heart with the knife that day, and called the imperial doctor for you in time. Generally speaking, it only takes a few months to recover. How can it be fatal!"

He lowered his head, his bangs covering his hazy eyes.But his words were still clear, he wanted to tell that person everything!

"I originally thought that it would be better for me to solve the matter alone. Although the King of Chu has a lot of resentment towards you, it is not to the bone. Ye'er is the son of Kurma, and the King of Chu will be happy to see him, so I will do whatever I can." I took Ye'er away. I thought King Chu would stop sending troops, but he handed me a soldier talisman. That's good, at least I can understand the situation on the battlefield. But I never thought that you would go to the border too! Like this , it hurt you!"

The self-blame and guilt in my heart may not be wiped out throughout my life!

"If you didn't come to me that night, and I took Ye'er away, maybe nothing would have happened! No! I shouldn't have stabbed you..."

"King Fuze is still shallow, and Laoag can distinguish right from wrong. He will not let his people fall into dire straits. I knew this when I left Ye'er to go to the battlefield, so I went. If not, I would definitely not Ye'er will be left alone. Now that he has succeeded to the throne and the prisoners on death row have been destroyed, reconciliation is not difficult. It's just that you would, you would..."

Xiao Zixian regretted it at the beginning, if he hadn't stabbed him with that sword, he wouldn't be as sad as he is today!

"Why didn't you tell me clearly beforehand?"

Xiao Zixian shook his head, "It's not true enough if you say it! As long as you reveal a little bit of flaws, all previous efforts will be wasted, so..."

Suddenly realizing something, Xiao Zixian suddenly raised his head. The person who was lying down now sat up calmly, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"you……"

Emperor Qing got off the bed, stopped in front of him, and helped him up.

"If I really went without hearing what you said, wouldn't it be a pity for Jiuquan? You didn't say a word to me before, how do you explain it?"

"You are the lord of a country, I will not joke with your life."

"Heh." Emperor Qing chuckled lightly, took his hand and put it on his chest, said: "With such a knife, I almost thought you had lost your mind!"

"I have avoided the vital point."

"But the pain here is still severe, worse than a sword piercing the bone!"

Xiao Zixian's palm felt a strong beating, and he was speechless in an instant.

"Therefore." Emperor Qing leaned closer to his ear, "There is a scar left here, you can use the rest of your life to make it disappear! I don't like any scars on my body."

After recovering a little bit of consciousness, Xiao Zixian asked, "How did you see that I didn't intend to help Kai Ning? These are all fake?"

"On the second day after you left, I vaguely guessed half of it. If you were really heartless, you would not take away the fan and the painting I gave you." Emperor Qing took down the burden he was still carrying, and flipped through the When I opened the inside, there was really only a fan and a painting.

"I insist on going to the battlefield because I want to confront you. Seeing your appearance, I am even more convinced of what I guessed in my heart. As for these funeral objects, I will be regarded as my life, and I will keep them in the palace for a few days It's okay."

Xiao Zixian lowered his face and said nothing.

Emperor Qing stretched out his hand to lift his chin, but saw that he was crying, so he gently wiped it for him, saying: "It's fine now, if you give up Kai Ning's status as a general, I can keep you by my side. No need to worry about it any more.”

Xiao Zixian turned his head slightly, "How do you know I won't leave the palace?"

Qingdi pulled him into his arms, and the previous anger was completely let go from the moment Xiao Zixian entered the capital, and said softly: "If you leave, I must take you away."

The tone is domineering and slightly unreasonable.

But Xiao Zixian no longer refuted, but increased his strength, and tightly circled the person in front of him.

Ye Shuang, who had seen enough excitement on the roof, gently put the roof tiles back in place, and heaved a sigh of relief by the way.

"Brother, how do you know Master Xiao is coming back today?"

"A few days ago, I sent someone to watch over the city gate, and if they found any suspicious persons, they would report to me immediately. However, none of the suspicious persons were seen, so I hoped that Master would come back."

Ye Shuang nodded, "Then why did the people in the city tie that Laoshizi black belt? I remember that I only ordered the people in the palace to cooperate with the emperor's plan, why did the common people get involved?"

"The news I released."

Ye Shuang raised her eyebrows: "In order to make the play more realistic?"

"Correct."

"But how will it end now?" Ye Shuang counted his fingers, "there are tens of thousands of people in the city, we just take everyone and explain to them one by one, it will take at least ten or eight years, it's heartbreaking to think about it!"

"No need to explain! They don't know."

"What!?"

Ye Shuang's eyes widened, "I know people in the palace are so foolish, even the people are so stupid? Black belts are not tied casually! Do you want to live at the feet of the emperor in the future?"

"Not at all." Ye Yi took out his purse, "I just told them that anyone with a black belt will be rewarded with silver hair, which is not a bad thing. But there are some who don't want it, luckily the master didn't meet them."

"..."

Ye Shuang 囧, as expected, money can turn ghosts around.

"But why did the waiter in that restaurant say that? Could it be you who arranged it?"

Ye nodded: "I told him that according to my words, the reward will be doubled."

"Then how do you know that Master will definitely go to that restaurant? What if he doesn't?"

Ye Yi shrugged: "I told other restaurants to close today and give them a day off. Didn't you see that the only one on the street is open?"

"..."

Ye Shuang covered her face. At that time, her attention was all on Master, so how could she have the energy to look at other things? !

"I'll get the money from the master tomorrow, and go to sleep."

Ye Yi dragged him to the room.

After all, it was a happy event to see Mr. Xiao come back. Ye Shuang was glad to finally have a good night's sleep tonight.

The sound of insects outside, the fragrance of night flowers.Under the bright stars, there is boundless silence, as if wishing everyone who returns can dream back to the beginning and never forget the acquaintance.

Zhizi returns home, and he is there when he wakes up.The prosperous age is peaceful, the mountains and rivers are picturesque, don't lose the prosperity, and live up to the world!

☆, Extra Story [-]: Two Leafs

When Ye Shuang woke up, there was sweat on her forehead, she stretched out her hand to wipe it, and looked out the window, it was dark.

It's not even the fifth watch!

Ye Shuang lay back on the bed weakly, she lost all sleepiness for a while.After tossing and turning several times, I simply got up.

Both he and his brother like to be quiet, so the master also specially prepared a separate courtyard for them. Usually, only the two of them live here, and no other court ladies will come here.

There was no light in the yard, but Ye Shuang's eyes were sharp enough. After putting on his clothes, he fumbled to the well to wash his face gently, so as not to wake up his brother.

"Whoo~"

Cool water on the face is simply refreshing.

After washing up seriously, Ye Shuang returned to the room, and just sat down when he felt his stomach growling, reminding him that it was time for breakfast.

But at this point the chef is still sleeping, and cooking is also cooking in a dream, and I can't get in to eat. .

After looking through the purse, Ye Shuang went out decisively. The breakfast at Siweilou in Kyoto is very good!

Most of the shops in the early morning had just turned on the lights, and the clerk Xiao Er was still awake, so Ye Shuang stood in the middle of the street, and said to himself with disgust: What are you doing so early?Wouldn't it be better to fall asleep under the quilt?

When I arrived at the Siwei Building, I found that the lamps were already hung high, the waiters were very diligent, and the handymen were also helping out. They had already made a lot of them earlier, and the fragrance was so strong that you could smell it even before you entered the door. .

It really is the first floor in Beijing!

There are already a few guests in the building, and they are having a good time eating right now.

Ye Shuang also chose to sit down and said, "Xiao Er."

"Come on." The waiter hurried over to wipe the table for him, and asked, "What would you like to eat, guest officer?"

"Two servings of fried noodles, two baskets of steamed buns, two baskets of steamed buns, four sticks of fried dough sticks, two servings of pancakes, and two servings of sesame seed cakes, half of which are packed and half are eaten here."

"Okay, wait a moment objectively, breakfast will be served right away."

"By the way, give me another bowl of soy milk, my throat is dry."

"Row."

The shop clerk hurriedly ran down, Ye Shuang looked around, unexpectedly those people were also looking at him, and they all had a look in their eyes - big brother, you really can eat!

Ye Shuang coughed and said, "People in Jianghu eat a lot."

So those people smiled one after another, carrying the knife and walking away, the appetite must not be the amount of ordinary people.

Ye Shuang looked at the sky, he usually ate more in the palace. .

Suddenly a person said: "Usually at this point you can see where the shopkeeper is settling accounts, why isn't this here, why hasn't he woke up yet?"

Ye Shuang drank the water and almost spit it out, thinking, uncle, are you here for breakfast?Why even care about this?

Little do they know that this is actually the habit of the common people: gossip after a meal is easy to digest.

The waiter interrupted: "Our shopkeeper went home yesterday, his wife is about to give birth, so he has to go back for several days."

"Your wife doesn't live in Kyoto?"

"My wife is in Hangzhou. According to our shopkeeper, Hangzhou is like spring all the year round. The scenery is good and the water and soil are better. Raising a baby there is also good for the child in the womb. Besides, our wife was born in Hangzhou, so both of them feel that It's a good idea."

"Hangzhou?" One person raised his voice, "That's the treasure land of geomantic omen in our Qing dynasty. If we have a chance, we should take our wife to have a good look at the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. It's a good time to kneel on the washboard like this." Not so often."

The second half of the sentence really made them laugh, and the inn was very lively.

Ye Shuang raised her eyebrows, how is Hangzhou?Why do I feel that there is nothing good about it?

"It is said that the prefect of Hangzhou has also changed, and the atmosphere of the whole city is quite good now."

Ye Shuanghao was curious, so he asked: "Brother, do you know the name of the current magistrate?"

"What's your name?" The middle-aged man thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be called Wu Qinglian, isn't it, everyone? Look at this name, it sounds like a good thing! I am Qinglian!"

Ye Shuang couldn't help but chuckled, she forgot to ask his brother before, Wu Qinglian is the magistrate?I don't know if it's really clean.

The hot breakfast was served soon, and Ye Shuang ate it with relish.

After a full meal, Ye Shuang walked back with the packed breakfast.The sky is gradually getting brighter, and there are more pedestrians on the road.When passing by a stall selling siu mai on the street, Ye Shuang still bought two more and ate them while walking.

Back in the palace, Ye Yi happened to be about to go out, saw him coming, and asked, "Where did you go? Didn't see anyone so early in the morning?"

Ye Shuanghuang shook the bag in his hand, and said: "I got up early and went to eat breakfast, and I brought you back a copy, how about it, am I considerate?"

Ye Yi was helpless, and said: "The palace will not have breakfast today?"

"No." Ye Shuang swallowed the last siu mai, "When I woke up, the moon was still on the tip of the willow, and I was asleep. So I just went out of the palace. The imperial chef in the palace doesn't get up so early."

Ye Yi turned to let him in.

The breakfast is still hot, and the buns are very fragrant.

"By the way, is the name of the new prefect of Hangzhou Wu Qinglian? It sounds like a serious person's name."

"Well, the right minister's student, I heard that this person is honest and gentle, he is a capable person."

Ye Shuang didn't take it seriously, "How can you tell if you're a good official? Who can't pretend? That Chen Qiu pretends to be very powerful!"

"Why don't we go back and have a look."

Ye Shuang paused, and said, "Go back? We just came back from our southern tour."

"It's not the same." Ye Yi handed him a meat bun and said, "I'll take a few days off from the master, let's go back and have a look, but we haven't been back for so many years, go back to see mother, and supervise Wu Qinglian by the way, The master will agree."

Ye Shuang raised his eyebrows: "Brother, we are shadow guards, we have to protect our master at all times, this is what our master taught us, we must abide by it."

Ye Yi smiled lightly, "Okay, then I won't go."

"..." Ye Shuang looked bitter, "Brother, can you be more naughty? At least say a few more words to persuade me, I will definitely agree."

Ye Yi tore a piece of pancake and put it in his mouth, said: "I'll talk to the master later."

"Row."

Su Jiulian is still recovering from his injuries, but with Xiao Zixian taking care of him all day and night, his complexion looks particularly good.He also agreed to Ye Yi's request immediately, and only told them to inspect the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ye Shuang didn't expect Qingdi to agree so quickly, so he went back to the yard to pack up his luggage and set off the next day.

The two rode horses and entered Hangzhou City within a day.But instead of staying in the city, he went to the mountain village.

The road to go was already covered with weeds, looking like piles of rocks and trees.

Ye Shuang wiped off his sweat and said, "Is the village gone? Why is there no road?"

"Back then, there was a flood in the village, and many houses were destroyed. Presumably, they all moved out."

When Ye Shuang mentioned that year, she felt uncomfortable and panicked.

I found the way to my childhood hometown based on my memory, but the village gate has become disastrous after more than ten years of wind and frost, and I can't even read the words on it clearly.

When I walked into the village, there was no one there.The empty houses were covered with dust, and some were even reduced to ruins.The innermost ones close to the rocks are almost covered by sand, and I can't remember what it was like before.

Seeing that Ye Shuang still wanted to go inside, Ye Yi quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't go, after so many years, I don't know if there are any jungle beasts that are dangerous."

Ye Shuang looked at it and shrugged: "What can there be? Don't be afraid if there is one, we can definitely beat it."

Ye Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pulled him to another direction, saying, "Go home and have a look."

"After so many years, I guess there is nothing left. What else is there to see?"

Ye Yi remained silent, and when he reached the door of the familiar house, he said: "It's still our house after all, there's no reason why you shouldn't go home when you come back."

Ye Shuang curled her lips and let him drag her away.

The so-called childhood home was just a small wooden house, with a tattered stone table in front of the house, and even the sycamore tree still looked passable, lush and lush, and would not decay at all.In contrast, the wooden houses are already covered with moss, and the road on the ground is also covered with layers of sand, and it is quite strenuous to walk up.

Ye Yi wanted to go in and have a look, so he shattered the rusty lock with his internal force. There were swarms of cockroaches and rats inside, spiders weaving webs, and the wooden material exuded a musty smell, which was particularly pungent. Ye Shuang I sneezed several times right now.

The floor was also not clean, the only pots and pans were dropped.The quilts on the two beds were unbelievably dirty. It is estimated that the flood washed the house, and most things were in a mess. When he left before, his brother cleaned it up.

"It seems that I can't live anymore."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuang was startled and said, "You still want to sleep here? You'll get sick."

"I thought I could survive for a few days by cleaning and cleaning."

"How is it possible! You forgot how serious the flood was? It's a miracle that the house wasn't washed away."

Ye Yi had to close the door again.

Ye Shuang looked at the sky and said seriously, "I'm hungry."

Ye took out the roast chicken he bought on the way here, opened it, and said, "It's getting cold, let's go, let's find a place to warm it up."

"it is good."

Finally, I went to visit their mother and old Wutou, and chose a relatively open place in the village to sit on the ground, with a tree next to it to lean against.Picking up some dry branches, lit the fire, and Ye started to roast the chicken.

Asking about the fragrance and looking at the setting sun, Ye Shuang said in a timely manner: "It turns out that dusk sky really goes well with grilled chicken!"

Ye Yi handed him a chicken leg and said, "I used to roast sweet potatoes here, do you have any impression?"

"There must be!" Ye Shuang nodded heavily while chewing on the chicken, "There used to be a field of sweet potatoes in the back. We helped old head Wu harvest the sweet potatoes. Every time he picked some good ones for us to eat, they were especially delicious when roasted. .”

Ye nodded and did not speak, listening to Ye Shuang's tireless talk.

"Old Wutou likes to play chess the most. He pesters us to play chess with him every day. He is not happy when he loses. He has to say that he made a mistake in that move. Haha, it's very funny." Ye Shuang was a little frustrated after talking. , "Old Wu's life is too soft. If he lives longer, we will definitely honor him! It doesn't matter if he wins chess every day."

Mentioning this, the two brothers felt a little depressed and sad.

After the night was completely dark, Ye Shuang, who had been driving for a day, felt sleepy, and said, "I'll sleep for a while, my eyes are sore."

Ye Yi wanted to move him so that he could lean against the tree to sleep, but Ye Shuang muttered: "Sit down, let me lean on your shoulder, the big tree or something makes me have nightmares."

Ye Yi didn't care, he generously embraced his younger brother, and took him into his arms.

Ye Shuang covered his hands and yawned, "Call me tomorrow morning when the sun is about to rise." Then he patted his brother's chest, "Go to bed early, too, you'll get tired if you travel."

After speaking, he adjusted his posture slightly and fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Shuang freed his left hand to add some firewood to the fire, then raised his head to look at the sky.

After years of separation, many things have been deposited in the past, but those memories are still vivid in my mind, and I can't forget a single scene.
