My country is dead again [Rebirth]

At the end of the year, Sun Bingde convened six departments to make advances to the treasury for the next year. After this year's suppression of money, the six departments were not as obedient as last year. Not having a good time.

Xie Ruzhuo still didn't get involved, just gloated over the excitement.

For Sun Bingde, this matter is destined to be a worry every year. It is no problem to use this to stabilize power and win a good name, but this action is really too big, and it damages the inherent interests of the six departments. It will make Sun Bingde feel better.

And Du Ruo also told Xie Ruzhuo that Sun Bingde is a little too tight. Sometimes it is not a good thing to be too tough. The tighter the suppression, the more everyone wants to resist. The emperor has repeatedly lost in the contest, and Du Ruo and the young officials have gradually grown up. They must complete the control of the six ministries as soon as possible to stabilize the power of the cabinet.

What annoys Sun Bingde the most is that he tried to contact the military forces time and time again, but failed again and again. It is clear who saved Song Qingge, and how he was able to move so quickly, and Xie Ruzhuo kept it secret and did not make the matter public, so even though everyone already knew that Song Qingge was rescued, they still didn't know the details.

Even though Xie Ruzhuo was put together by Hua Yangjiao at the beginning, he did not have an advantage in the court for a while, but Sun Bingde couldn't help but be surprised that Xie Ruzhuo did many things behind the scenes. , while looking for someone to save Song Qingge and the Song family, it seemed that he had once again sorted out all the messy lines smoothly. After counting every move, even if he was at a disadvantage at the beginning, he could immediately catch up and occupy an advantageous position.

It has been more than three years since he fought Xie Ruzhuo. At first, Sun Bingde felt that this opponent surprised him. In the countless confrontations later, Xie Ruzhuo's every move always had unexpected effects, as if he had already seen the whole situation, but it was just easy to do. Being able to be one step faster than every opponent, such an opponent is no longer surprising, but terrifying.

Now, Sun Bingde sometimes has to think negatively, he has been fighting in the court for 30 years, maybe this is the nemesis sent by God. In the end, it is another person's enemy, an enemy that cannot be defeated in a lifetime, just like Xu Zishen, who has been on the battlefield for 20 years, and he still has to surrender to the arrangement of fate after encountering Shen Ci.

Because of the Song family's affairs, the Ministry of War is also afraid this year, and took the initiative to raise [-]% of the military expenditure in northern Xinjiang. Sun Bingde disagreed at first, and the Ministry of War does not want to take responsibility for this mess. He, Sun Bingde, is not afraid of trouble, but they still want to live a peaceful life. Yes, this year because of an accident in the Song family, the battlefield in Chizhou was once difficult to support. Later, the Ministry of War spent more money, which was not worth the candle.

Because of this matter, Han Zhen almost got into trouble with Sun Bingde. Although the two servants of the Ministry of War are Sun Bingde's people, their relationship is far less close than that of Han Zhen, and they will not buy it even if they die. In the end, it was the officials under the Ministry of War. Under Du Ruo's instruction, he persuaded several superiors to use this year's drought as an excuse to spend [-]% more military expenditure, saying that it was to make up for the drought loss in northern Xinjiang, and it was also considered to appease the guards in northern Xinjiang.

And Du Ruo knew very well that this was Xie Ruzhuo's plan. The drought would undoubtedly be an important entry point for them to deal with the Pei family, and the imperial court had many money sympathetic to the guards.

Sun Bingde should also be aware of it. He thought about saving the Pei family, but he weighed the pros and cons in the end. The price he paid to save the Pei family seemed too high, and he had no real deal with the Pei family, so there was no need for it. The current Admiral of the Three Great Battalions, Wang Chen, is old and not in good health, so it would be better to fight on the Three Great Battalions when the time comes.

All kinds of turmoil in Beijing have generally calmed down before the end of the year, and although the battlefield in Chizhou was still anxious at the end of the year, the flames of war have been temporarily extinguished in the past few days during the New Year. Jing came forward with some ceremonies.

Xie Ruzhuo held a palace banquet on New Year's Eve as usual, and then returned to Yongning Palace bored. He Xiaoman accompanied Song Qinglai to watch the new year. He was the same as on his birthday, sitting at the table in front of a candle lamp and giving Shen Ci to him. I have looked at each of the small stones dozens of times, but time still passes very slowly.

It was snowing outside again, he sighed, put on a thick cloak and went out, stood on the porch and quietly watched the snow fall, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground yesterday, he suddenly remembered that when he was a child he saw It’s always a joy when it snows. Passing by the Royal Garden, I saw Brother Wuhuang and his two younger brothers playing snowball fights together, and there were many palace people laughing around them. The emperor smiled happily when he saw it from a distance. He also He really wanted to play with them, but he knew that if he went, it would spoil everyone's interest, and they wouldn't want to play with him, and maybe they would secretly call him a whore-born bastard.

At that time, he was also used to playing alone, and he was very happy to be allowed to go out. He just squatted in the corner and watched everyone play, imagining that he was among them, and could laugh and fight freely in the snow.

This wish did not come true later, and it is still a childhood fantasy. Xie Ruzhuo walked down the corridor, his suede boots creaked softly on the soft snow, he bent down to pick up a handful of snow, held it in his hand and compacted it , turned his head and jumped up and threw it at the bucket arch on the palace.

The snowball hit the golden-red bucket arch accurately, the tight snowball shattered, and scattered fine snow flakes fell from the bucket arch. In the halo of the lanterns under the corridor, it fell like golden powder, which was very special. eye-catching.

Messy wet marks were left on the bucket arch, this childish move made Xie Ruzhuo feel a little depressed, he laughed, another handful of snow rolled up, and smashed harder at the bucket arch.

He seemed to have found the fun of killing time, and was about to smash another one, when something flew up and hit him on the back, followed by the sound of snowballs shattering on the cloak.

He really couldn't think of another person in the world who would dare to throw snowballs at the emperor, but he couldn't believe it. His heart was beating for a long time before he calmed down his breathing and made up his mind to turn his head to look.

In the falling snow, Shen Ci, dressed in white, was dusty, but with a smile on his face. The warm yellow light of the lantern cast in his eyes, which gave warmth to the gentleness. He saw Xie Ruzhuo's eyes wide open and even spoke Can't come out, stepped forward and pinched his face, said: "Do you think you are dreaming?"

Xie Ruzhuo blinked, the snowflakes on the eyelashes were shaken off, and accidentally got into his eyes, the cold touch brought him back to his senses, but his eyes got wet involuntarily, he hugged Shen Ci, and buried him in his arms , said in a muffled voice: "Why did you come back? Don't say a word...how did you enter the palace?"

Shen Ci patted the snow off his shoulders and said: "Xu Zishen has gone home for the New Year, so it's not too much for me to come back for two days, right? But I also came back secretly, and I didn't write a memorandum. After all, I was afraid that the officials would scold me. Entering the palace, I went to Dongchang to find the governor, and he asked someone to bring me in."

On the lonely New Year's Eve, the person who was thinking day and night drove thousands of miles and came back to him in the snow. Xie Ruzhuo felt that the most beautiful dream was nothing more than this. Who said that God was cruel and merciless to him? He obviously cared too much for him. Let the unreal things in dreams become real.

Xie Ruzhuo couldn't hold back his tears, and suddenly he hugged Shen Ci tightly and burst into tears, like a child who hasn't grown up, crying so much that he hiccupped.

"You couldn't accompany you on your birthday, how can I not accompany you during the New Year?" Shen Ci brushed the snowflakes from his hair, feeling a little sour in his heart, "Stop crying, shouldn't you be happy seeing me?"

Xie Ruzhuo's nose was already red from the cold, but now it turned red when he cried, which made Shen Ci laugh, scratched his nose, and said: "I will cry when I leave, and I will cry when I come back, you crybaby."

"I miss you...I miss you very much...I think every day, when will I see you..." Xie Ruzhuo became more and more sad as he spoke, tears fell down again, "I miss you when I am so tired , I miss you when I celebrate my birthday, I miss you when I am sick, I miss you when I receive a letter, I miss you every day..." He seemed to have finally found the person who was crying, and he was so wronged that he could hardly speak, " Why is everyone...everyone has someone to accompany...only I don't...not when I'm sick..."

Shen Ci didn't know whether he wanted to laugh or cry, Xie Ruzhuo said pitifully with red eyes that when he thought of him, he was too soft like a rabbit, but what Xie Ruzhuo said was like a knife cutting his heart It hurts, Xie Ruzhuo sitting on the dragon chair has been lonely from past life to present life, he is the only one who can accompany Xie Ruzhuo, but he can't always be by Xie Ruzhuo's side, so Xie Ruzhuo can only be left alone to hide all the fragility, so that all When people see the hard shell, it seems indestructible.

In his previous life, he said to Xie Ruzhuo, one day, you will be alone all day long, without joy or sorrow.

How cruel this sentence is.

This is actually what Xie Ruzhuo is most afraid of. He doesn't want to sit alone on the dragon chair piled up with bones and face the wind and frost of the lonely years alone. Even when he is sick, no one is willing to accompany him and express the most sincere concern.

Shen Ci wiped away tears for him distressedly, and comforted: "Now that you have it, when we return to Pingdu, I will accompany you every day and do everything with you. Stop crying, okay?"

Xie Ruzhuo finally felt better, and he was used to wiping away his tears on Shen Ci's skirt, who knew that Shen Ci's clothes were all wet with snow, rubbing It made him chilly, so he raised his head and looked at Shen Ci with bright eyes, and said, "Can you play snowball fights with me? I remembered that when I was young, I envied Brother Wu Huang and his two younger brothers to play snowball fights together, but I never played snowball fights with him." However, when I looked back and saw you, I thought for a moment that God heard my previous wish and found someone to fulfill it for me."

When Shen Ci came, he saw Xie Ruzhuo standing alone in the snow, throwing snowballs on the brackets on the palace, and seemed to be in high spirits. Seeing that scene made him very uncomfortable, as if Xie Ruzhuo had been killed Everyone is left behind, and there is only one person left in the world, with no one to accompany him, and no one to talk about his sorrows and joys.

Instead of calling Xie Ruzhuo, he threw a snowball to tell Xie Ruzhuo that whatever you want to do, there is another person behind you who can accompany you, as long as you look back, you can find it.

"Hands are red from the cold." Shen Ci rubbed his hands together, "Let's play again during the day tomorrow."

"I don't want it." Xie Ruzhuo began to play tricks again, "I just want to play now. I only have this wish during the Chinese New Year. If you don't satisfy me, then I will be angry."

Shen Ci couldn't stand him, so he could only nod his head: "Okay, okay, when have I not satisfied your request?"

Xie Ruzhuo smiled brightly, ran away with a whoosh, ran under the tree and grabbed a large handful of snow, rolled it tightly, and quickly threw it at Shen Ci, who took a light step back and avoided it.

One hit failed, Xie Ruzhuo lowered his head and went to catch the snow again, before he could throw another one, his neck suddenly felt cold, a large handful of snow smacked on his clothes and the base of his neck, most of the snow fell into his collar, cold He was shocked, raised his head and shouted furiously: "Shen Ci! How dare you throw snow into my collar! Don't you want to live!"

"You are only allowed to throw me, and I am not allowed to throw yours?" Shen Ci laughed, "Can't be so unfair?"

Xie Ruzhuo was so angry that he raised a snowball in one hand and chased after him. He threw it at Shen Ci mercilessly. Shen Ci's reaction was much faster than him. He hid every one accurately, and no snowball could wipe the corner of Shen Ci's robe. However, several snowballs exploded on him.

"You wait for me! You're done!" Xie Ruzhuo said, but the expression on his face was full of joy, really like a carefree child, screaming and giggling while being hit by a snowball Running in the snow, "Stop!"

Shen Ci has never seen Xie Ruzhuo playing so crazy, even more crazy than when he slipped out of the palace, the exquisite robe and cloak are covered with water marks, running staggeringly on the snow, but unscrupulously Shouting, as if he had forgotten that he was an emperor, he was a completely different person from the figure standing alone in the corridor in front of him.

It seems that he is really just fulfilling his childhood wish, and finally found a partner who can play with him, instead of squatting in the corner and watching others play enviously, he can laugh and play like his brother, without loneliness , there is no sadness, only the simplest and most pure happiness.

"Run slower." The ground was still slippery, Shen Ci shouted, "Don't fall!"

Xie Ruzhuo ran over with a smile, threw a snowball at him again, and said, "Who told you to run so fast! You are just bullying me!"

"You can't catch up with me by yourself, so what does it have to do with me?" Shen Ci occasionally gave way to him, deliberately not dodging, and let the snowball shatter on his body, "Why did I bully you?"

"Hmph, you're just bullying me!" Xie Ruzhuo glared at him angrily, "You won't even let me order."

"I let you, why didn't I let you?" Seeing that he was happy, Shen Ci simply played with him, and ran away again in a blink of an eye, "If I didn't let you, you guarantee that you won't hit any of them."

Xie Ruzhuo became even more angry, he kept grabbing the snow from the ground, walked like flying on the snow, panting for breath, and smashed the snowballs in his hand more and more fiercely.

The palace people of Yongning Palace had been sent away by Xie Ruzhuo for a long time. In front of the huge palace, only the two of them were running around on the snow, laughing and shouting for more than half an hour.

Xie Ruzhuo's physical strength couldn't keep up with Shen Ci's, he was already out of breath, and he couldn't run much. After another snowball was thrown by Shen Ci, he took a breath and shouted: "I won't take the snowball today. Throw it into your collar, and I'll write the name upside down!"

Unexpectedly, just after running two steps, his strength was exhausted, his legs gave way, and he fell into the snow in a five-body posture, which made him cry out in fright.

Shen Ci was also taken aback. Seeing that he hadn't gotten up for a long time, he hurried forward to pull him, and said anxiously: "Where did you fall? Does it hurt? You first..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Ruzhuo jumped up from the ground, he didn't react for a while, and was thrown down by Xie Ruzhuo, the snow in his hand was directly stuffed into his collar, he gasped from the cold, and said helplessly, "Are you childish? "

Xie Ruzhuo laughed excitedly and said, "Is it cold? Letting you hit my collar, this is retribution!"

Shen Ci sat up from the ground, shook out the snow from his collar, and said with concern: "Where did you fall in front? I told you not to run so fast, but you still don't listen."

"It's not that you run so fast!" The snow is soft, and it doesn't hurt when you fall, even if your clothes are wet and chilly, but after running for a while, your forehead is full of sweat, Xie Ruzhuo is still panting heavily, "You still blame me!"

"Blame me, blame me." Shen Ci looked at his hand to make sure he didn't hurt anything, "How dare I blame you?"

Xie Ruzhuo's heart throbbed inexplicably with the strange feeling of sweating and the coldness soaked in snow water. In the decades of two lives, he has never really played with nothing like today. When he was young, the scene he fantasized about in his childhood came true when he was reborn at the age of 20. He was not alone, someone cared about his sorrows and joys, and accompanied him to do everything he wanted to do.

How can he like this person enough?

"Thank you." Xie Ruzhuo wrapped his hands around Shen Ci's neck, hung his whole body on his body, and said softly, "Brother, you are so kind."

Shen Ci didn't say anything, but pressed the back of his head, leaned over and lowered his head to kiss his lips, the cold snow water on his lips melted between his lips and tongue, leaving no trace, leaving only comforting heat.

On many snowy days in his previous life, he lived alone under the bare peach tree for the rest of his life. Now that the wind and frost hit his face, and the snow fell on his shoulders, he finally waited for someone to accompany him to stay together.

The author has something to say: Xiao Shen is actually a romantic person, writing letters, sending stones, professing love with fireworks, and coming back suddenly to give surprises, this man is very good at it.

My mother was a little jealous of Xiao Xie, and cried, being so sweet to death by the man I wrote, it was really terrible.
