Li Zhang

It's the end of the year again.Last year's mourning and panic were swept away in the palace, decorated with lanterns and festoons, and laughter continued.

Sima Yi was trapped in the Chaoyang Palace for a month and was injured for a month. Not long after he was released by Jin Bai, he saw that the internal troubles were over and everything was accomplished, and he thought that he could finally be with Li Zhang. But he felt that as long as he treated him well, he would be able to warm him up as a rock, and then he couldn't help smiling.He was in a good mood, and his subordinates also received a lot of rewards, and the entire previous dynasty was beaming.

He already knew that the empress dowager had acquiesced in Li Zhang's identity. Although he felt a little uneasy after hearing that he lived in the Fourteenth Palace, he was very satisfied with everything he heard afterwards, and he even reported it every day during the recuperation period. Fang Fang came over to ask questions, and knowing that Li Zhang's complexion was getting better, she was deeply relieved, and couldn't help but recall the pretty and shy youthful appearance, and she smirked for a long time by herself.

Although what he caught sight of was the later Li Zhang, but this Li Zhang had been tempered by the wind and frost, and almost no longer matched the boundaries of beauty. This is a pity for him who loves beauty by nature.Therefore, in the bottom of his heart, he still thinks about the original Li Zhang, and what he hopes for is that the two Li Zhangs will become one.

This idea existed vaguely in his heart, which made him contradictoryly want to see Li Zhang's shyness and timidity, but also couldn't forget his radiance, so that when he could only imagine, he looked forward to everything in the palace , can bring Li Zhang back to the appearance of the day.

Jin Bai didn't allow him to worry too much. When he had free time, he tossed the governor of the inner treasury desperately, dug out many exquisite gadgets, and sent them to the Phoenix Palace when he had nothing to do. He would ask Li Zhang for his ration every day when he ate and drank medicine. Only when the instructions are similar to myself can I feel at ease.As for the Longyuan Sword that he almost sacrificed his life to seize, he wiped it carefully every day. While wiping, he missed Li Zhang's demeanor that day, and waited for the day when he would hand it over to him.

On the day Sima Yao was escorted back to the capital, Mu Yan personally brought Ling Yuncong into the palace to have an audience.Sima Yi just rewarded Mu Yan heavily and sent Sima Yao away, but he didn't mention Ling Yuncong at all, let alone see him.Mu Yan hesitated to speak, but finally turned around and left with a sigh.

Mu Yan knew that Sima Yi had let Ling Yuncong go by doing this, so he came out to persuade Ling Yuncong who was kneeling outside the palace gate to leave.Ling Yuncong ignored him indifferently, showing no intention of getting up.All the officials of the San Dynasty were silent when they passed by, except Zhou Mao, who pointed at him and scolded him severely.Ling Yuncong bowed his head and listened without a word of refutation.

In the evening, a sudden north wind blew up fine snow, and Ling Yuncong, who was still kneeling outside the palace gate, had blue lips and pale face, and was on the verge of falling.

Sima Yi was looking at the memorial in the warm pavilion, made several mistakes in his heart, put away his pen in agitation, and stood up.Eunuch Xi put on the cloak for him without making a sound, and he only raised his eyes to look at Eunuch Xi, but also did not make a sound.

The wind was as sharp as a knife, and the cut on the face was painful.Sima Yi paused for a moment, then quickened his pace.From a distance, I saw a figure low on the ground, a black mass, like a stone lion by the palace gate, silent, but no longer like him.

Sima Yi stopped, watched from a distance, and refused to get any closer.

"emperor?"

"Let the guards take him away. Arrange a good place to live, and then invite an imperial doctor to take a look."

"Yes."

"Tell him that he owes Gu, and Gu will ask for it back. Don't let him hurt himself!"

"Yes!"

A few days later, Sima Yi paid homage to Emperor Jing in the Taimiao Temple, enumerated the crimes of Sima Yao and Cheng Xuan, ordered Sima Yao to die on the spot, and vowed never to let Cheng Xuan go.

After that, Sima Yi rewarded Su Qingyang and Pingdu as second-rank generals of Zhenbei and Zhennan, and Sizhou Duwei as fourth-rank generals of Jianwei.Mu Yan changed his title to General of Chariots and Cavalry, in charge of the soldiers and guards of the capital, and all civil officials who participated in the implementation of the land equalization system were rewarded.Sima Yi also canonized the leaders of the Miao people in the Ning and Yi areas who participated in the attack on Yizhou, allowed the Miao people and the Han people to participate in the land equalization system, and at the same time adopted corresponding policies for other Yi people, recognizing them as the same status as the Han people.

In the end, Sima Yi specially granted Ling Feng the title of General Wuwei, and buried him next to Emperor Jing's tomb. Gu Xiu was also titled Shuren, and was buried with Ling Feng.When Ling Yuncong received the decree, he wept bitterly and kowtowed desperately to thank him until his forehead bled.When Mr. Xi came back to reply to the decree, Sima Yi stood with his back on his back and didn't move for a long time.In the end, with a sigh, he decreed that Ling Yuncong would enter the Dingbei army in white and be under Su Qingyang's command.

After the distribution of Ling Yuncong, Sima Yi felt exhausted physically and mentally. Just when Jin Bai came in to check his pulse, he couldn't help complaining to him: "Gu's heart is getting softer and softer now!"

Jin Bai was taken aback when he heard the words, thinking of Ling Yuncong, he nodded in agreement and said, "It's really surprising that the emperor treats Ling Yuncong in such a way."

Sima Yi squinted at Jin Bai dissatisfied: "You are also surprised?"

Jin Bai shook his head, checked the degree of healing of the wound, and said, "I hope he can see it too."

Sima Yi was silent for a long time, then said softly: "Gu is a little scared to see him."

Jin Bai raised his head and glanced at him, secretly cursing in his heart, and gently persuaded: "Has the emperor ever thought about letting him go?"

"No!" Sima Yi shook his head resolutely, his expression getting serious.

Jin Bai continued to work hard and said: "The emperor can let Ling Yuncong go, why not let go of Li Zhang? Maybe, let go to have a better chance..."

"Stop talking! Gu will never let go! Never!"

As if to further confirm this statement, Sima Yi put away Longyuan and stopped wiping it every day, and called an official from the Ministry of Rites to discuss the possibility of accepting a male concubine. He was so earnest that the official was restless and covered in cold sweat.Afterwards, she never brought it up again, even when Mrs. Zhou personally intervened, she firmly denied it, which made Mrs. Zhou suspicious but unable to criticize.

He wanted to see Li Zhang every day while he was recovering from his injuries, but now he was healed, but he was so close to his hometown that he felt timid. He made a detour through the Fourteenth Palace several times to go to the Longevity Palace, but he hesitated outside the door every time, refusing to go in.I just questioned Fang Fang and Li Zhang's emotions more carefully. When I heard that he never went out of the palace and rarely talked, his heart was the same as that day, trembling with pain, but he persisted and refused to give in.

He believed that he would make Li Zhang change his mind, just like everything he wanted to do before.

Since Li Zhang entered the Phoenix Palace, he completely cut off his hope of finding a way out from others.It used to be despair, but there is always hope in despair, and this hope comes from Jin Bai, Zhou Shi and even Sima Yi.He has been working hard to live. On the one hand, it is a promise to Jin Bai, and on the other hand, he also has the hope of being released after being rejected. ——Even he himself couldn't help but dislike his body, he didn't believe that it was attractive to others.

However, he was still moved into the Fourteenth Palace, where he was treated as a concubine as a man.He didn't think about whether it was Sima Yi's decision, but only saw that his way in the palace had been completely cut off.The moment the temple door closed, he knew that death would be the only way he was willing to go.His heart completely calmed down.

He still thinks about the pill Jin Yi gave him, but he doesn't know if he can get real life after three days of suspended animation.He has no one to rely on, so he can only fight for his destiny, and three days is too short.

The luxurious Phoenix Hall was silent because of Li Zhang's silence, and people sent all kinds of exquisite gadgets from time to time. After he found that there was nothing that could be used, he stopped looking at it.He pondered for a long time, considering the various possibilities of ending his life and feigning death to save his life, and even thought of borrowing Bai Qi's dagger, but in the end, he didn't want to get him hurt.

No one told him that the war outside was over, and he was not in a hurry, just like every time he faced each other before, he focused and patiently waited for the opportunity, but at the beginning it was all for survival, but now it is more like death, and because he has made up his mind , instead of self-pity and self-harm.He is enjoying the long-lost hot bath and fine diet in peace, but he doesn't want to get close to people anymore, and he doesn't want to be more involved with the world here.

It was a surprise to see Feng Yu and Li Zhang again, and the madness in Feng Yu's eyes made him faintly hopeful.

Feng Yu was a little haggard, her flower-like face was vaguely gloomy, but she still smiled gracefully.He respectfully asked Li Zhang to choose the material for the clothes, glanced at the nervous Qu Fang, and said with envy, "This is a new Shu brocade from Yizhou. It is said that it was used to make dragon robes for Sima Yao. In total, two horses were brought in. Your Majesty I asked the lower officials to bring them. Mr. Li carefully selected a horse, so that the lower officials can go and let people rush to sew it."

Li Zhang stared at Feng Yu and asked, "Yizhou? Is it over?"

Feng Yu was surprised: "Mr. Li didn't know? The emperor sacrificed to the spirit at the Taimiao the day before yesterday, and the rewards were given in front of the temple. Even Ling Feng... will have to mourn after death!"

Speaking of this, Feng Yu couldn't help gnashing her teeth, and said angrily: "Ling Yuncong, a duplicitous person, betrayed both the emperor and the Emperor Ai, and yet he deserves such kindness. I really don't know what the emperor thinks!"

Fang Fang couldn't help but fake cough.Feng Yu woke up and explained tactfully: "This Ling Yuncong tricked your young master into releasing Sima Yao by mistake. I'm not worth it for the young master."

Weifang was stunned, and looked at Li Zhang sympathetically. Li Zhang still had no expression, but politely asked Yingfang to pour a cup of tea for Fengyu.Qu Fang smiled and agreed, and went out.

Li Zhang looked at Feng Yu straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Feng Yu smiled charmingly, but her eyes were as cold as ice: "I want you to die, will you obey?"

Li Zhang didn't answer, just stretched out his hand to him.

Feng Yu was taken aback, and said coldly and disdainfully: "Do you want to take evidence and report to the emperor? I'm not so stupid!"

"Then what are you going to do? Buy the people here to poison? Or buy an assassin to come in and assassinate? Don't you think these are more reliable than going to me directly?"

Li Zhang discussed with him peacefully, as if it was just an unimportant matter.Feng Yu bit her lip desperately, and looked at Li Zhang repeatedly, trying to find out his hidden true thoughts.Li Zhang let him scrutinize him calmly and without fear, his innocent eyes were calm.

Feng Yu finally asked uncertainly in a low voice: "You...you want to die?"

Li Zhangyu sneered: "What do you think?"

Feng Yu opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Why? Now, even if you want a high-ranking official to confer a title, the emperor will obey!"

"What do I want those for?"

"Then what do you want?!" Feng Yu couldn't help roaring out.

Li Zhang looked at him quietly: "I want to leave."

"You! Crazy! You are all crazy!"

Li Zhang looked out the window coldly: "The crazy thing is that he is not me."

When Yi Fang came in with tea in her hands, she saw Feng Yu running away with no expression on her face.She frowned and looked at Li Zhang. Li Zhang still had that indifferent expression, but he couldn't ask out that curiosity.

At the beginning, she and all the people in the Chonghua Palace were demoted by the Empress Dowager to the Clothes Bureau and the Cleaning Department. Although the exorcism incident caused a lot of noise, but because she violated the taboos of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager at the same time, she has basically become a court official afterward. The taboo in the book, as they have never seen it, is no different from a legend.Therefore, when they saw this somewhat legendary master again, they all had instinctive awe and caution.

Fang Fang sympathizes with Feng Yu a little. Her master's iceberg kung fu is extraordinary, and no one can get close to him after living in him for so long. He washes, dresses, and ties his hair by himself. Washing by herself, she was so frightened that she led everyone to kneel on the ground, and finally dispelled his idea.The emperor questioned her carefully every day, but she only said that she was not talkative and refused to go out, so the emperor turned dark and told her how dare she tell other things one by one!However, the emperor still asked about every detail, and she was so scared that she had to think it over every time before she dared to answer.So she didn't want to cause trouble, so she didn't mention Feng Yu to Sima Yi.

More than ten days later, it is already a small year.The palace was very busy, and even more people came and went in the Phoenix Hall. Newly folded plum branches, fragrant narcissus, and bowl-sized camellias were constantly being moved in, making the cold and silent hall full of life. All the palace people were smiling happily, but Li Zhang was still nestling in the warm pavilion reading a book, completely ignoring the laughter outside.

Li Zhang has been very afraid of the cold since the beginning of winter, and Fang got up early for the charcoal stove, so he always hid in the warm pavilion, reading slowly with the stove in his hand.The winter sun poured in from the window lattice, reflecting a soft glow on his face.The eyebrows are soothing, the eyeshadows are light, and the well-shaped lips are moistened with a touch of vermilion. Even though his face is still pale, the cheeks with soft lines reappeared a bit of his former beauty, and Sima Yizhi who suddenly saw Hold your breath.

"Young master, the emperor is here!"

Qu Fang, who came in behind Sima Yi, saw that Li Zhang was unmoved, and whispered a reminder.

Just as Sima Yi waved his hand to stop him, Li Zhang raised his eyes.

It was still those eyes that were too dark to see the bottom, still making Sima Yi addicted involuntarily.He sighed softly, and just about to speak, Li Zhang had already knelt down on the ground.

"You... the ground is cold, you don't need to kneel anymore!"

Said that Sima Yi has helped Li Zhang up.Li Zhang didn't break free, he could not help but hold his hand and knead it gently.

"Chinese New Year is coming soon. There are many things this year, and I have wronged you. Now that the world is flat, I will accompany you to spend a good New Year, okay?"

Li Zhang tilted his head and didn't respond, Sima Yi was dissatisfied with the floor turning his face back and not allowing him to escape: "Tell Gu, what do you want?"

Li Zhang looked at him flatly: "I just want the emperor to let me go, will the emperor agree?"

"...Except for this! You, don't challenge Gu's bottom line again and again!"

Li Zhangzhong lowered his eyes again: "The emperor can do whatever he wants."

Sima Yi's good mood was lost again, despair and hope were fighting fiercely in his heart, he looked at the stubborn Li Zhang, he didn't know how long it would take to get his wish, and he didn't know what was left of him in the end.He once again had doubts, and his hesitation gradually grew.

Aunfang has retreated out tactfully, the warm pavilion is as warm as spring, but Sima Yi feels cold all over.He suddenly felt that he might really not be able to warm the rock Li Zhang.

Li Zhang leaned back on the cushion with his left hand held by Sima Yi, opened the book he was reading, and read it quietly again.

Sima Yi stared blankly, looking at such a quiet and peaceful scene, as if he had been waiting for 500 years, but it was just a mirror image, which could be broken at the touch of a finger...

He suddenly pulled the hand in his palm into his arms, so strong that Li Zhang overturned the kang table.Li Zhang, who was completely defenseless, was immediately brought into his arms by him, and he cursed angrily: "Sima Yi! Are you going to use force again?!"

"You don't need to be strong, will you obey? Besides, you said it yourself, let Gu do as he pleases!"

"You! Shameless!"

"Oh! Gu is so shameless in your heart, isn't he? Why do you pretend to be a good person! What Gu wants, you can't get it! Since Gu can't ask for it even if he puts down his figure, don't blame Gu for being cruel and merciless! "

As Sima Yi said, he tore off Li Zhang's skirt, tied his hands with his belt, leaned over and kissed him.Li Zhang struggled and bit hard, but Sima Yi raised his hand and removed his jaw.Li Zhang groaned in pain and tightened his eyebrows, Sima Yi just ignored him, took off his clothes three times and two times, his eyes were already burning with lust like a beast.As soon as he turned over Li Zhang, he was about to drive straight in. Suddenly, his eyes were hurt by the ugly scar between his buttocks and legs, which seemed to be scorched, and he suddenly woke up as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on his head.

He stroked it slowly with trembling hands, and was extremely sure that this was something he had never had before entering the palace. His heart felt like he had fallen into a frying pan, and he could no longer feel any other pain.

It turned out that no matter how much I thought I was good to him, it was actually only hurting him.What about him, can he be blamed?

Time seemed to stand still, and Li Zhang's naked back was still heaving violently. Sima Yi looked at it blankly, not daring to touch it, refusing to let go, as if being pinched by the neck, he was out of breath.

I don't know how long it took, and Fang Fang whispered outside to the Imperial Palace to send someone to bring the clothes, and asked the young master if he wanted to try them on.

Sima Yi regained consciousness, straightened his clothes, put Li Zhang's chin back, pulled the brocade quilt over him, and raised his voice to let people in.

The inner eunuch respectfully handed over the robe, and Sima Yi shook it casually. Seeing that it was a similar style to his new dragon robe, except that it was not embroidered with dragon patterns, it was simple and refreshing. Lonely."

He glanced at Li Zhang who was lying motionless on the side, threw off his clothes and got up sullenly, saw Yanfang looking at Li Zhang nervously, and said simply: "He is a little sleepy, let him sleep for a while. You, Wait for me later."

Fang Fang bowed her head in response, but felt that the emperor was in high spirits when he came, but at the moment he was not, so she looked at Li Zhang worriedly again.

The author has something to say:

The last time Sima Yi committed a crime...

In fact, I can still understand him. Li Zhang is indeed very hateful to him. To him, he has never done anything before, but he is repeatedly broken in front of Li Zhang. , That kind of resentment is inevitable for everyone.

It's a pity that Li Zhang really didn't accept the necessity!

If Sima Yi had learned to let go early, maybe, of course just maybe, they would still have a chance.
