Golden Horse and Yutang

At the foot of Luofeng Mountain, Ji Qiuhe came back with Chang'an to collect herbs, and said as he walked, "There is a strange Gu in this world called Lie Gu. There are two male and female Gus. It was made by a woman after a long fight with the beloved blade. If you get hit by this Gu, you will die with heartache, eyes blindness, weeping blood."

Chang An shook the small medicine pestle and said, "Can Li Gu be cured?"

Ji Qiuhe sighed, looking at the thatched hut not far away, his voice was blown into the mountains, "There is no solution to Li Gu..."

Even though he is the high priest of Miaojiang, the number one witch doctor in Miaojiang, he is still helpless against Li Gu.

In the hut at the foot of the mountain, Bai Ziyu played the piano leisurely under the warm sun, and the purple body of the piano added a bit of tenderness in the sunlight.

The lingering sound of the zither gave the originally quiet mountain breeze a little more profound meaning. After Bai Ziyu finished the song, he entered the room and wrote something at his desk.

Lan Ke'er and Lin Yue stood quietly outside the hut, looking at Bai Ziyu in the room.This kind of Bai Ziyu is clean and spotless, like a noble immortal in the nine heavens.

It's just that his body is full of lingering loneliness and coldness, Lan Ke'er knows that this is all because there is no other person by his side.

Lin Yue took Lan Ke'er by the hand, Chang'an in the distance saw them, threw away the pestle and ran over cheeringly, "Mother, Father!"

Chang An plunged into Lan Ke'er's arms, Bai Ziyu put down his pen when he heard the sound, raised his eyes and smiled slightly.

Lin Yue entered the door, "Long time no see."

Bai Ziyu smiled, "Long time no see! How is he?"

"Tsk!" Lin Yue joked, "Ke'er and I have come all the way to see you, shouldn't you ask us if we are tired first?"

Bai Ziyu poured a bowl of tea from the teapot on the table and handed it to Lin Yue, "I'm interested!"

Lin Yue took the tea bowl and put away his jokes, "He is very good, and the government is becoming more and more handy; he came back in a low service a few days ago and issued many edicts..."

Lin Yue had a long talk with Bai Ziyu in the room, while Lan Keer hugged Chang'an and followed Ji Qiuhe towards the medicine house.After walking for a while, Lan Keer asked, "How is brother Ziyu?"

Ji Qiuhe put down the medicine basket, "The female Gu cultivated a few days ago failed again. I can only suppress the male Gu with drugs as much as possible to prolong its awakening time. How long I can control it depends on God's will."

Lan Ke'er bit her lip, and said after a moment of daze, "We've been searching for so long, but Mr. Wuji has no clue at all. If it wasn't for the Wuji Pill in Brother Ze's hand, I wonder if there is such a person in the world."

"In matters of life and death, who can say for sure? Mr. Wuji is hard to find in the fairyland, and now that so many years have passed, does An Neng know if he is still alive?" Ji Qiuhe shook his head and poured out the herbs in the medicine basket .

"Is there really no way out?"

Ji Qiuhe shook his head regretfully, Lan Keer's eyes were red, and she turned her back.

After Lin Yue finished talking about everything in the past year, the corners of Bai Ziyu's lips curled up slightly, and he wrote a letter and handed it to Lin Yue, "Give this to Master Xu."

Lin Yue took the letter, but his eyes fell on what Bai Ziyu wrote just now.

"The emperor is also the emperor, the master of the world. The emperor's enlightenment will make the world prosperous..." Lin Yue said, "This is it?"

"To pass the time with nothing to do, I hope that in the future, these things will make him more relaxed." Bai Ziyu said, "It's an apology for me pushing him to that position."

Lin Yue sighed, "You really worked hard for him."

Bai Ziyu listened to the singing of birds outside, and smiled lightly, "There is only so much I can do; a person like him was forced by me to the path he least wanted to take, But I can't walk with him. In the final analysis, I am sorry for him after all. "

When Lin Yue and Lan Keer left, Bai Ziyu looked at Qun Lan in the distance and said, "Choose a good queen for him who can share his worries."

Lan Ke'er had a sore nose, and the tears she had endured for a long time finally flowed down.Lan Ke'er didn't know exactly what kind of mood Bai Ziyu was in when he said the words that broke his heart; but after walking for a long time, looking back at Bai Ziyu who was independent in the wind, tears blurred his vision again .

Time is like flowing water, the plum blossoms in the palace have bloomed once, and now the lotus is withered again.By the koi pond in the imperial garden, the weeping willows are still green.

Yan Yingze, who woke up from the dream, touched the cinnabar on his wrist and leaned against the white jade railing in a daze.

Since Lin Yue came back from Miaojiang a few years ago, a group of ministers seemed to have colluded with each other, urging him to choose a queen every day.Yan Yingze dragged back and forth to hide, but in the end he couldn't hide, and was forced by the officials to get angry in the court.

In the early morning, Xu Tianzheng handed over a note, the content of which was in line with Yan Yingze's wishes, and he asked Lin Yue and Xie Huaimin to be appointed as the left and right ministers, Shen Yun to be the national teacher, and Lanyue to be named Duanwang.And a group of meritorious officers and men will be added to the ranks to show God's grace.

This incident coincided with Yan Yingze's thoughts. The reason why he did not immediately reward the soldiers who followed him in Sheshui City after he became the throne was because he was afraid that other soldiers would be chilled.After such a long time now, meritorious ministers should be rewarded, and Yan Yingze immediately agreed to Xu Tianzheng's request.Originally, the court hall was full of joy and harmony, but what Xu Tianzheng said next made Yan Yingze throw away his papers and go down to the court.

Xu Tianzheng knelt down and brought up the old story again, "Now that the country's affairs are going well and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it's time for His Majesty to stand up as soon as possible and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family."

Yan Yingze put away the original smile, "Master Shoufu has a heart, the state affairs are heavy, we will talk about this matter later."

Yan Yingze originally thought about practicing Tai Chi as before, and then he would fool around, but he didn't expect all the officials to kneel down, "Your Majesty, please stand up as soon as possible!"

Lin Yue looked around, and was about to kneel down, when he saw Yan Yingze's green face, he stood up straight again.At this moment, Lin Yue didn't want to make him unhappy.

Yan Yingze's complexion sank, and he looked at the civil and military minister who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Since you all like to kneel so much, then kneel well."

Yan Yingze left the court and rushed to the imperial study room angrily. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yan Yingze arrived at the imperial study room, Xu Tianzheng led a group of ministers and knelt outside the imperial study room door.Yan Yingze, one head and two older, sneaked away through the side door next to the Nuan Pavilion, leaving Xu Tianzheng and a group of people to continue kneeling at the door.

Yan Yingze wandered around the imperial garden for a while, drank the servant who followed him, came to the koi pond, and fell asleep leisurely in the breeze.

It's just that he didn't sleep well, and after a while, he started dreaming again, and the person in the dream was someone he hadn't dreamed of for a long time, the man in white who couldn't make out his face.

The man in white was playing the piano in a place full of plum blossoms. What surprised him even more was that the man in white had the same cinnabar on his moon-like wrist.

In the dream, Yan Yingze turned around, trying to see the face of the man in white.But Yan Yingze was almost dizzy, and he could only see the back of the man in white. When he got impatient, he woke up.

The servants and maids on the side did not obey Yan Yingze's orders, so they just waited at a distance and did not dare to disturb her.

Yan Yingze took off the cinnabar on his wrist and looked at it over and over.Suddenly, Yan Yingze's eyes widened, and he pushed the cinnabar beads away, only to see clearly that the thread strung with cinnabar had turned into a very tenacious silver thread.

Yan Yingze was curious, he never left this cinnabar, and the beads were obviously strung with gold thread, why did it turn into this never-before-seen silver thread?

He thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason. A voice behind him said, "It turns out that the emperor is hiding here."

Seeing Lin Yue approaching, all the servants in the palace were relieved.Lin Yue walked along the corridor to Yan Yingze and said, "Master Xu is still kneeling at the door of the imperial study room, the emperor really doesn't care about this old and weak one?"

"Let them go, they will leave if they can't take it anymore." Yan Yingze said, "Lin Yue, has this cinnabar ever left me?"

"Are you willing to leave this cinnabar?" Lin Yue said, "This is your treasure, who dares to touch it?"

Yan Yingze's eyes were blurred, "Have I ever known a man in white clothes?"

"Have I ever recognized a man in white?"

"The person in white?" Lin Yue lowered his head and thought for a while, "Isn't it the long hair and the elegant appearance?"

"Do you know who it is?" Yan Yingze thought for a while, although he couldn't see the face of the man in white clearly, he couldn't cover up that cool and distinguished temperament no matter what.

Lin Yue took a few steps back and bowed, "It seems that His Majesty should make a queen."

Yan Yingze looked at Lin Yue's teasing smile, and kicked over, "I think it's almost time to chop you off as soon as possible."

Lin Yue let Yan Yingze kick him to vent his anger. After the kick, Lin Yue said, "The emperor is also angry. Let's think about what to do in the future. Master Xu is also for you and for Guozuo."

Yan Yingze was silent, how could he not know what Xu Tianzheng meant, but for some reason, he always felt that his heart was empty.Empty as a wilderness desert.Since the heart is empty, it is natural that no one can fit into it.

Yan Yingze frowned and unconsciously grasped the cinnabar in his hand in a circle, thinking about how to deal with those stubborn old people.Inadvertently, the silver string of cinnabar broke, and all [-] beads fell into the pool, causing the koi to scramble for food.

Yan Yingze turned over and jumped down, Lin Yue quickly grabbed him, "Your Majesty, you can't go down."

"My mother left it to me, let go..." Yan Yingze struggled hard.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... It's not good, Mr. Xu fainted."

Yan Yingze was competing with Lin Yue, and the female official from the imperial study hurried over from a distance, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has passed out."

"Tsk!" Yan Yingze threw Lin Yue away and headed towards the imperial study room!

Finally, the imperial doctor fiddled with Xu Tianzheng and woke him up. Yan Yingze tried his best to persuade Xu Tianzheng to go back.He lay on the low couch in the imperial study room panting as if he had experienced a catastrophe.

Lin Yue slipped in through the back door covered in water, "Here you are!"

Lin Yue spread out his palm, and there were three rosary beads lying on the palm, "I only found these few. Take it as a thought."

"Thank you." Yan Yingze said, "I have a headache."

Lin Yue changed into the clean clothes brought by the servant in Nuan Pavilion, "It's not an option to go on like this, Mr. Xu is old, you don't want to see him die in front of the emperor, right? If it's not possible, you should compromise first, Aren’t they just a few show girls? You need to stabilize Master Xu before you talk.”

Yan Yingze was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, agreeing with Lin Yue's statement.Lin Yue shook his head secretly, this is the most compromise way.

On August 18th of the second year of Zhao Guo, the first batch of beautiful women officially entered the palace, and [-] new female officials were added to the harem.Therefore, in the next half month, Yan Yingze met various beautiful women more than [-] times in various parts of the palace.

Xu Tianzheng was secretly happy that the queen was finally coming to an end. Unexpectedly, Yan Yingze confines all the beautiful women in the harem with an imperial decree, while he himself, as before, sees Shennong, except for going to court and handling political affairs.

Xu Tianzheng and Lin Yue were killed by surprise, and they didn't even have time to come up with a good plan, so they had to think long-term.

The world is full of fragrance in April, and it is another year of summer.Zhao Guo became more and more impregnable.But Yan Yingze became more and more lonely.It is said that the heights are extremely cold, and the ancients never deceived him. Whenever he was busy with political affairs, he would shake his head and smile wryly at the lonely palace alone - there are many beauties in the harem, which he chose not to want, but now he blames the huge palace for being empty.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, and he always felt that his heart was empty like a wilderness; and the so-called love didn't arouse any interest in him, but made him avoid it.

Xu Tianzheng's plan failed in the first year, but in the second year he repeated his old tricks and still knelt down to ask Yan Yingze for the spring election. At this moment, Yan Yingze has already mastered this way, if you say choose, I will choose.

As a result, the harem became more beautiful in spring, but those women, just like the previous ones, were lonely every night until dawn.

Xu Tianzheng saw that Yan Yingze was right, so he repeated the same trick and went to kneel in the imperial study room again.Unexpectedly, instead of compromising, Yan Yingze left the palace directly and moved into the original Pingnan Palace.

Originally, Lin Yue thought that Yan Yingze was hiding from the quiet, but he didn't expect that he lived from the early blooming of durian flowers to the midwinter snowfall.In the end, Xu Tianzheng knelt at the gate of Pingnan Palace again, and Yan Yingze returned to the palace.But he still goes back to the palace every few days and doesn't want anyone to follow him.

Moreover, during the period when Yan Yingze was not living in the palace, an ingenious system was formed. Political affairs no longer required Yan Yingze to do everything by himself, as long as he gave instructions, everything would proceed in an orderly manner along a fixed track.

In recent days, Yan Yingze's dream of the man in white has gradually increased.

He seemed to feel that there were many smoky fuzzy memories in his mind, which he wanted to grasp but couldn't.Unexpectedly, it has been three years since he ascended the throne, and his political performance is getting better and better, but it is just a memory, and he has not seen any improvement.Yan Yingze did not tell Lin Yue about it.Since he asked Lin Yue about cinnabar that time, he no longer said anything related to memory to Lin Yue.

It's just that this memory is as vague as smoke, and as elusive as smoke, no matter how hard Yan Yingze tries to break his head, there is still no result.
