Changle Floating Life

In the twelfth lunar month of the tenth year of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the capital encountered a rare severe cold.The miserable yellow sun shone on the frozen road, but there was no warmth.

The little prince secretly lifted a corner of the chariot, and only took a look outside, but was stopped by the queen: "It's windy outside, be good." The five-year-old child immediately sat upright, and the queen patted the top of his head in satisfaction. .

When the phoenix chariot arrived at Yanbo Palace, the queen got out of the car first, and turned around to hug the prince, but the little prince jumped off by himself and played with the broken Qiongyu on the ground.

"Yasha, be careful." The queen chased the little prince. "Mother, why is there no threshold here?" The child pointed to the threshold stone with a gap under his feet and asked.The queen tightened her hood, bent down and said, "Have you forgotten the allusion about Zhe Kanlang that your mother told you?"

The little prince recalled it in his mind, pouted and said: "Mother, the threshold of Yanzuo Palace keeps knocking me down, can I remove it?" The queen almost laughed out loud, and couldn't help but said: " Silly boy, leave the threshold to the loyal ministers to tear down."

"Is that so..." The little prince who hadn't figured out what was going on at all cast his eyes on the empty hall: "Empress Mother, Emperor Father is not here."

Empress Zhu was going to bring the prince to talk to the emperor, but she accidentally glanced over and found a person lying on the imperial table in the side hall.She walked towards the side hall calmly, and saw a man with a purple gold crown and a dragon robe, sleeping soundly on a low table. "He's wearing the royal father's clothes..." Empress Zhu covered the little prince's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense when you go out!"

The man woke up at this moment, An Ran stretched his waist, and the dragon robe on his body slipped off automatically.

"Who are you?" The little prince looked curiously at this handsome man in his thirties who only wore single clothes.

The man glanced around the hall, got up quickly, and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty An Ning Ye Jianqing, I didn't know that the queen and crown prince was coming, and I was in a hurry. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Empress Zhu calmly asked him to stand up, and asked, "Where is Your Majesty?" Ye Jianqing scratched his head, looked at the empty front hall, and wondered: "Just now I was discussing matters with several ministers here, why are you here?" Piandian took a nap, and everyone ran away?"

Needless to say.It must be that the emperor saw that he was asleep, and couldn't bear to be disturbed by people talking outside, so he led a group of important officials to change places to discuss matters.

Empress Zhu was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she didn't know what to say.But the little prince reached out to touch his sleeves made of purple gauze, full of fragrance, envious and curious: "Aren't you cold because you wear so little?"

"Yasha!" The queen yelled, holding the prince by the collar like a cat or a dog, and brought the poor child back to her side.Afterwards, she felt that it was too much, so she said, "I'm sorry, Lord Hou."

Children are innocent and lustful.Ye Jianqing squatted down and stared at the little prince with scorching eyes: "I'm hot, Your Highness, don't believe me, touch my hand." The prince looked up at the queen, seeing that his mother didn't object, he held Ye Jianqing's hand. The palm, as expected, was warm in the palm.

Hou An Ning's fingers were slender, with distinct joints, and there were thin calluses in the palms, which felt rusty to the touch.Ye Jianqing smiled and said, "The prince has grown up so much that I don't even know it. Time flies so fast. Your Highness, what gift do you want for the New Year?"

The prince turned his head and thought for a while, then suddenly puffed out his chest, and said, "Will you be Gu's loyal minister and remove the threshold of Yanzuo Palace for Gu?"

"You..." The queen was embarrassed.

This little boy has been so good at attracting people since he was a child, just like his father.Ye Jianqing laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.Not far away, the little eunuch from Pixiang Temple ran over panting, confused for a while, and stood aside.Ye Jianqing said with a smile: "May Your Highness make good ministers, and not loyal ministers."

The queen's eyes flickered, and she stopped the little prince before he could say "a hundred thousand whys", and turned to the palace guard standing there.It turned out that the emperor guessed that An Ninghou should wake up in the Pixiang Palace, so he sent someone to call him.After Ye Jianqing bid farewell to the queen and the prince, he left with the palace guard.

The prince looked at his back and asked in doubt: "Is he also a minister of the father, why have I never seen him in the palace?"

Since he ascended the throne today, Marquis Anning has taken the post of supervisory censor, patrolling hunting on behalf of the sky, and traveling abroad all the year round.Pei Zhaoye granted him the right to kill first and then play, and the requirements for him were extremely simple, that is, every one or two years, he must return to Beijing to report on his work.The Marquis of Anning took off his whereabouts, sometimes returning at the beginning of the year, sometimes at the end of the year.

In private, the palace divided the Spring Festival into "big year" and "small year" based on the criterion that the Marquis of Anning would not come back to celebrate the new year.If it is a "small year", His Majesty has always been frugal and saves troubles, sending some money to various places as rewards, counting the holidays.When it comes to the "New Year's Eve", it is necessary to decorate with lanterns and festoons, and everyone will receive a reward for extra meals, such as bird's nest, chicken, duck, soft fish and bitter gourd, which is called "celestial celebration".

The last time Marquis An Ning came back was three years ago, the last time the palace had a "New Year's Eve" and the crown prince was still in his infancy, so naturally he didn't remember.

Ye Jianqing walked outside Pixiang Hall, and heard the noise and chaos inside.He intentionally listened outside for a few times before he was informed.After entering the palace, the emperor looked as if an extra wick had been added to an oil lamp, changing from his previous paralyzed expression to a holy light.

After Anning Hou entered the queue, he wanted to hide quietly, but he heard Wu Shangshu from the household department said: "Your Majesty, the young Marquis is well-informed, your majesty might as well ask him." Ye Jianqing gave Wu Xiaocun a hard look, and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Why are you arguing?"

But it turned out to be for the horse manure in the stables of the emperor's royal garden.Yousi impeached the Shaofu Supervisor for privately selling horse dung from imperial horses, earning 20 yuan a year, filling his own pockets.Some of the ministers in the hall said that they should be punished severely, and some said that it was not appropriate to punish.Yu Shi Zhongcheng said: "If this matter is publicized, it is not a good name for fear that future generations will say that officials sell horse dung."

Liu Chunfeng, the Minister of the Household Department, said: "The 20 guan money may not be considered by Zhongcheng, but it is enough for the poor family to spend for decades. I don't dare not cut money for your majesty's financial management. What do you think, Lord Marquis? "

Ye Jianqing calmed down and said to himself: "A horse must excrete about ten catties a day. There are hundreds of horses in His Majesty's Royal Garden. Just selling the dung is enough for the whole family to use for a day."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed like a thunderbolt fell on the Pixiang Palace, making all the ministers burnt inside and tender outside.Pei Zhaoye covered his face with his hands, and secretly thought that he made a mistake. This person didn't know the meaning of "just go down the slope".

The imperial envoy Zhongcheng sneered: "Young Lord is so magnanimous." His eyes clearly said: "How decent is Cheng, don't you feel ashamed?"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, this Marquis has always been unconstrained by fame and teaching." Ye Jianqing laughed, and automatically filled in the code words for him.He turned to Pei Zhaoye and said: "Your Majesty, my colleagues in the palace think that horse dung is useless, but in fact, everything is born in nature, and there is nothing in the world that is unusable. Horse dung is necessary for farms to fertilize fields and keep warm. I am patrolling the border in the north. The horse dung money from the battalion was distributed to the commanders. Only Xu Shichen, the governor of Youyun, did not accept it, and included it in the general account of the military pay and distributed it to all the soldiers. What the minister said was right, financial management is to gather sand to form a tower, and the accumulation of a small amount becomes a lot. The Taipu Temple is in charge of the imperial court. The pastor is in charge of the internal and external stables, how much horse manure money does he have a year?"

He insinuated, and everyone in the hall suddenly became alert.Tai Pu Siqing fell to the ground, his voice was a little trembling: "I don't know what to do with the dung... I will wait for the minister to go back and investigate..." His expression gave the impression that he was about to swallow dung when he went back. Suicide is common.

"Okay, get up. Master Hou is joking with you." Pei Zhaoye said helplessly.He roughly understands that this horse dung is similar to the gray income of charcoal respect: "If there is a little benefit to the world, I don't care about the gains or losses, or what people in the future will say. The Shaofu prison sells horse dung privately, so I don't care about it. But never From now on, internal and external stables need to include horse manure income into the public account. The income from horse manure in the Royal Garden will be distributed to the Nursing Home, Congee Factory, and Yuyingtang. But if there is no poverty in Chang'an, the elderly will be supported. So what if I sell horse manure?"

Everyone was speechless.Yu Shi Zhongcheng thought sadly and angrily, the emperor sold horse dung, and this court will not be better.I'd better resign and return to my hometown, and the history will last forever, so as not to be infamous with them for thousands of years.

At this time, Wu Xiaocun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, still came out with this shit-stirring stick and said: "Your Majesty, it is best to be included in the public account. However, foreign officials are low-ranking and have not yet been paid. They are hungry and cold, so it is difficult to guarantee their innocence. The warehouse is full now, and it is appropriate to increase the amount." Give preferentially, and then you can take responsibility and not be greedy."

It was only at this time that everyone could see clearly that if you want to take something, you must first give it, and the reverse is also the same. It is His Majesty's true intention to beat the board and give a sweet date.

After Chang Chao broke up, Anning Marquis Ye Jianqing was left alone.

Pei Zhaoye stepped down from the court case, led him to sit down in the side hall, and blamed him: "If you wear so little, you still think you are a boy in skirts and clogs? You should also know how to take care of it."

Ye Jianqing remembered what happened just now, and told him what His Highness the Crown Prince said.Pei Zhaoye has been emperor for a long time, and his face has thickened a lot. He shamelessly said: "You are the Lord of Zhejian, and I am the emperor who sells dung. We are just a couple..."

"Get out!" Ye Jianqing laughed so hard that he was about to fall.

Pei Zhaoye reached out to shake his arm, but he avoided it.He hated him for being hard-hearted, and really wanted to spray his thoughts on his face: "You promised me to return to Beijing every year to report on your work, so I allowed you to travel abroad. But you only came back for a few years, and then you often missed appointments. Not coming back for three years once. Did you go to Luofu Mountain again?"

That guy Xu Shichen must be on the secret book.Ye Jianqing thought to himself, I'm here to help you relax and give you a higher salary, but you stabbed me in the back... He was only focused on cursing Governor Youyun in his heart, but forgot to pull back his arm.

Seeing him lowering his brows and pleasing his eyes, Pei Zhaoye thought that he felt guilty, so tenderness welled up in his heart, and he sighed: "It's been ten years, you should give up."

Let your heart walk back from grim wonderland at the end of the world.

Ye Jianqing was frightened. The word "Luofu Mountain" was a lingering shadow deep in his heart. He pretended to be innocent and said: "It was a long time ago, and I have long forgotten it. I just went to see it." Just look at Xu Shichen."

"Your Majesty should give up." Ye Jianqing turned to the emperor and said lightly, "I see Yasha is very lonely, isn't Your Majesty going to have another child to accompany him?"

When will you be able to break free from this strand of love?

Pei Zhaoye's face darkened, ready to swallow the bad breath silently.

However, Ye Jianqing chased after him and said: "Lucky, I have to think about it. Has Your Majesty forgotten the evil consequences brought about by Emperor Zhongzong's lack of a descendant..." "How can Zhongzong be without a descendant?" Pei Zhaoye was angry from his heart: "Isn't I Zhongzong's..."

There was a sudden silence in Pixiang Temple.

Ye Jianqing lowered her eyes and said: "I said something wrong. At that time, I thought I would never see Your Majesty again, so I threw it in the East Palace without authorization. About the golden book, Your Majesty never asked me about it."

"I have already burned the golden book." Pei Zhaoye said softly, "I don't need to ask, you can guess the situation of Shaokang's last years, what is the virtue and ability of the late emperor, and why he became the successor to the great system."

In fact, he was the only son of Emperor Zhongzong.

His mother was Zhao Yiyi, a medical girl in the Queen's Palace during the Shaokang period.Zhao Nv also had a younger sister who was also in the palace at that time.The surnames of their sisters are not Zhao, but Bai, and they are the descendants of Bai Yanfeng, the former king of Qi.Iron-faced imperial envoy Zhao Yan found them in Xichuan in his later years, and brought them back to Ganjing and adopted them as righteous daughters.There are detailed records of their identities in the iron box recovered from Zhao's residence in Tianshui Hutong.

Zhao Yan died when they were still underage.This pair of sisters was later taken by Empress Xuanyi and brought into the palace.The older sister, Zhao Yiyi, had been in love with Emperor Zhongzong for a long time, and finally betrayed Empress Xuanyi one day.Afraid and ashamed afterward, Zhao Nv quietly escaped from the palace and fled all the way to the northernmost border.

On the way, she accidentally discovered that she was pregnant, and she was even more at a loss.It happened that she was passing by Yunzhou at this time, and the Princess of Yunzhou County was her handkerchief friend when she was a girl, so she asked this best friend for help.The princess of the county has always been extremely intelligent, and she has already noticed something from Zhao Nu's anxious expression day and night.One day, she finally tricked Zhao Yiyi into telling the truth.

Shocked by the truth, the princess of Yunzhou County, the beast of ambition lurking in her heart began to stir.At that time, Emperor Shaokang had ruled Yuyu for twenty years and had no children. People in the royal family had been urging the emperor to adopt a son from a side branch to continue Emperor Zuo.But who is the adoptive, but has not been able to decide.At that time, Empress Xuanyi Bai Chuqing returned to the palace, and Princess Pei Yongzhen returned to Zhenguo outside the court. The two were tit for tat, and there was little agreement.

Women's desire drives the development of history.Princess Yunzhou thought of a brilliant idea.In the name of "taking care of the rest of her life", she tricked Zhao Yiyi into marrying Pei Zhan, the king of Yunzhou County who was just weak and knew nothing, as her concubine.After Zhao Yiyi happened to give birth to a boy, she went to the capital in person and told Zhen Guo Princess Pei Yongzhen everything.

Pei Yongzhen was very surprised, so he naturally took time to investigate.When the truth came out, Zhao Nu was ashamed to return to the capital and died of illness in Yunzhou.Pei Yongzhen felt like he had a lump in his throat, and he didn't know how to deal with this child.If she were to be sent back to the palace to recognize her ancestors, Bai Chuqing would definitely think that she was intentionally causing trouble, and an illegitimate child who couldn't tell the truth might lead to some kind of conspiracy.If you leave it alone, this is the only flesh and blood of your brother after all...

At this time, the Princess of Yunzhou County and future Queen Minhui displayed her supreme wisdom once again.She persuaded Pei Yongzhen to stand up for Pei Zhan to join the royal family, and personally agreed to make Pei Zhaoye the crown prince after ascending the throne, so that the throne would return to the line of Zhongzong.

It's a win-win outcome.Anyway, it is necessary to adopt, and an adult county king can avoid the situation of "the emperor is too young and his mother is facing the court".It is the best choice for the political situation in Shaokang's last years without disturbing Emperor Shaokang and Empress Xuanyi, and creating a rift between the inner court and the outer court.

Just when the two women thought that they had succeeded in secretly keeping Chen Cang, another variable appeared.Pei Zhan, who didn't know what to do, stubbornly believed after ascending the throne that "the eldest son should be established first", rejected the interference of Princess Zhenguo, and forcibly established the eldest son as the prince.He knew that the eldest son's qualifications were not good, but he just didn't want to do what Princess Zhenuo wanted.

Pei Yong was really suffering, so he had no choice but to return to the Jinling feudal land.Since then, Empress Minhui felt that she owed Pei Zhaoye and favored Pei Zhaoye even more, while the crown prince and King Ning gradually regarded King Duan as a scourge...

It's just a pity that Pei Zhaoye, as the only orthodox bloodline of Zhongzong, wants to save the country with a curve, and defend the righteousness.

Ye Jianqing saw that Pei Zhaoye's face was changing, and thought he was still brooding, so he immediately knelt down on the ground: "It's the minister's grandmother who owes His Majesty, Your Majesty, don't worry about it."

Pei Zhaoye embraced him on the ground, and said calmly: "What are you talking about. The imperial aunt has no monument or tomb, and there is no sacrifice, so I can't forgive her." Yuan Huaike and Shen Wei were arrested ten years ago. At that time, Yuan Huaike sent people to set fire to kill people in Ning Mansion, and Shen Wei stole the copies of the twelve yellow books into Huiliu Villa.

Ye Jianqing thought to herself, this would be great...

When Marquis Anning came out of the palace, he didn't go back to the mansion directly, but went to the small alley behind Xueyin Nunnery.There was a whiteboard door in the alley. After opening the door, a half-teenage boy asked politely, "Who is Mr. looking for?" Ye Jianqing gave his name and asked, "Is Zuo Jingzhao at home? Who are you?" He asked I remember that Zuo Fengmian had only one old man at the gate.He didn't see Zuo Fengmian in the hall today, he felt strange, so he found him to chat with his old friend.

The child stepped aside and became more polite and polite: "Father has not returned home for several days because of the fire in the entertainment workshop."

Only then did Ye Jianqing remember that when he came back three years ago, Zuo Fengmian said that he had adopted a child from a distant branch of the Shi family and named him Jingqian.He nodded and said, "Then I won't come in, and I'll tell him when your father comes back."

Zuo Fengmian has been in charge of Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion for ten years.The first emperor once had a last word, punishing him for life without being promoted to a higher rank, as a punishment for his dereliction of duty in the Yuan Shangqiu case.

In the past ten years, Jingzhao Mansion has never closed its doors and roads at night and has not picked up lost property, and no one in Dali Temple has complained about injustice.Mr. Zuo has clear rewards and punishments, and he judges cases like a god. He is known as "Zuo Qingtian".

He went straight back to the Anning Hou Mansion.In the past ten years, few people have lived in the Hou Mansion. Only when he is coming back soon, Lanshan will notify people in advance to clean it.

Other places are deserted and deserted, only the voices of people can be heard from the yard where Wu Xiaocun used to live.He went over to look, and sure enough, it was Lanshan, Li Sihai, and Wu Xiaocun who were eating hot pot around the table.Wu Xiaocun sighed shamelessly: "Girl, you don't know my difficulties. For talents like us, it's really hard to go to the sky. What is that sentence called: A gentleman is innocent Conceived as a crime..."

"How can a gentleman discuss horse manure? You really have been officials in the capital for a long time, and you are so idle that it hurts."

The eyes of the three people lit up instantly, and Ye Jianqing walked into the room while talking.Wu Xiaocun blushed and his neck was thick, Li Sihai nodded with a smile, and Xiao Lanshan smirked when he was crying...

It's rare to meet a bosom friend for a thousand cups of wine, let alone an old friend whom I haven't seen for a long time.

Lanshan arranged Li Sihai and Wu Xiaocun one by one, and was about to help Ye Jianqing, but he suddenly grabbed his wrist.The blush on Ye Jianqing's face did not fade, but her eyes were as clear as ice and snow, without any hint of drunkenness: "Girl, it's been ten years, you should tell me the truth."

He sat up straight, time had carved all kinds of heartbreaking marks on his face, but his life stopped ten years ago.Lan Shan couldn't bear to look at each other, turned his head away, and said in a low voice, "You went to Luofu Mountain again?"

"Yes." Ye Jianqing said without concealment: "I went to find the Orion who dug us out of the snowdrift. What they said was different from what you said. The note from the leader was written before leaving the capital. Is it for you?"

For a moment, Arashiyama wanted to tell everything.She lowered her head, only silently facing each other.

"There is no antidote for my poison. Someone else saved me, right?" Ye Jianqing took a deep breath and said, "When the leader was in the capital, although he often used needles to test medicine for me, he He never promised me that he would be able to detoxify. There is nothing the leader can do, let alone Gu Tingrang."

"Have you ever thought," Lan Shan looked up, with tears in his eyes, "the leader is no longer alive?"

"Then I will also find his bones." Ye Jianqing avoided her gaze and said softly, "Just like Gu Tingrang did to Xie Shi."

Thinking of Gu Tingrang's all kinds of arbitrary and perverse actions back then, the expression on Lan Shan's face finally changed from forbearance to shock.She wiped the tears off her face, and whispered: "The antidote that saved you back then was given to me by a man nicknamed Nanyue Xianweng. At that time, your whole body was dead, and your breathing was intermittent. I think Anyway, if a dead horse is treated as a living horse, the result will not be worse, so I will eat it for you."

"..." I actually saved my life like this.After a long time, Ye Jianqing asked in a difficult tone: "What does that Nanyue fairy look like, where does he live, and what does it have to do with the Snow Mountain Sect?"

Lan Shan peeked at him: "He looks so annoying. He was so pushy, he refused to say anything, and left. I heard from friends in the Jianghu later that he seemed to live in Cangshan."

Cangshan Mountain in Zhongzhou has a radius of hundreds of miles. Finding a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that this person is a recluse.

Ye Jianqing couldn't hide his disappointment, but after thinking about it, he was very satisfied.Finally, there is a direction, isn't this a small progress?Marquis An Ning couldn't sleep all night because of this small progress.The next morning, when he heard the first rooster crowing, he finally couldn't hold back his excitement, and before he could tell anyone, he rode his horse and headed straight for Zhongzhou.

At the end of the year, there are very few travelers on the road.At the beginning, he thought about it on the road, why not search village by village, dig three feet, and always find some clues.

Such an idea, after he traveled through several counties, finally gave up completely.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, he curled up in an inn in a small town on the branch of Cangshan Mountain, wondering whether he should go directly to Yujian Villa to ask martial arts people for help, or simply go back to Ganjing and let Pei Zhaoye set up a list to find someone for him.

The wind and snow were on the way, it was dusk, and the shopkeeper was about to close the door, when suddenly a big man rushed in from the door, followed by two young servants.The shopkeeper knew him, and greeted him: "Master Wang, you are coming back to celebrate the New Year again." The man shook the remaining snow on his body, and replied: "Yes. I will rest here with you today, and I will go up the mountain tomorrow."

Ye Jianqing was depressed, met the man face to face, and went back to the room to rest.That night, the north wind howled, and the doors and windows were rattled by the wind.When Ye Jianqing came down to eat the next morning, the big man was also eating noodles at the table last night.He stared at Ye Jianqing a few times, stopped his chopsticks, and asked cautiously: "This brother, you look familiar. Have we met before?"

"Oh, I don't remember." Ye Jianqing said listlessly and dryly.

The man thought about it seriously for a while, then slapped his thigh and smiled: "Little brother, I am Wang Runyuan. Ten years ago, did you live with your younger brother at Orion's house on the mountain, and you once came to my house to treat the first king's eye disease. "

Ye Jianqing was hit hard in the chest, and he remembered that after he was rescued by San Guangying, he lived with Gu Su on the nearby mountain and hid for more than half a year.

Seeing that he seemed to remember it, Wang Runyuan clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Back then your child prodigy brother cured Xianjun's illness, and Xianjun kept talking about your brothers. I came back several times later, and went to the mountain to see you."

Ye Jianqing showed gratitude, and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wang, I will never forget the kindness of Lingtang for a meal. When did Lingtang die?" Wang Runyuan said, "Just five years ago, at the age of 91, he passed away. Very peaceful." Ye Jianqing was silent for a moment, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, do you have any wine?" Wang Runyuan smiled and waved his hands quickly: "No, I have to hurry later. Is your brother okay?" Ye Jian Qing's expression darkened, and he said brightly again: "He's fine. Is Brother Wang coming back to visit relatives or what? I'll go with you. I still want to see the little hut back then."

"It's easy to talk about." Wang Runyuan said: "The place where you used to live has opened up a new house, and there is a stranger living there. Do you know? Look at the gods and gods."

"Nanyue Immortal!" Ye Jianqing stood up abruptly, his eyes widening: "Is the person who lives now called Nanyue Immortal?"

"Ah?" Wang Runyuan was stunned for a moment: "I never asked his name..."

"Stop accompanying me. Brother Wang, I'll come to you later." Ye Jianqing left the inn like a tornado before he finished speaking.

What a fool I am!I forgot about this place!

The weather is refreshing in the afternoon, and the south wind comes.On the quiet mountain road, a shepherd boy is riding a buffalo and playing a bamboo flute.That's where we first met.

He braved the wind and snow and walked up the mountain path in his memory.Since he woke up at the foot of Luofu Mountain ten years ago, his meager martial arts disappeared along with the toxins on his body.He seemed to have become that dandy boy who was reprimanded by Sanguangying and couldn't walk well, and only knew two tricks and three-legged cat kung fu.

Tears were streaming down his face, blurring his vision.At the corner of the mountain wall, Ye Jianqing had to stop, panting.On the top of the hill not far away, there really stood a brand new two-story thatched cottage, built against the hill, with smoke still rising from the chimney.

He crawled to the front and saw someone trimming bonsai in the yard surrounded by bamboo fences.Goose feather snow fell on the same gray hair of the man, who looked five or sixty years old.

Not the leader.

The cold went straight to the marrow, Ye Jianqing was nailed to the spot, almost wanting to cry.Just when he wished he could let the wind and snow blow away his useless body, he only heard a person in the courtyard ask, "Who's there?"

Ye Jianqing raised her tearful eyes in the wind and snow. The people in the yard were dressed in feathers and crane cloaks, with white hair and iron flutes blowing clouds, and bamboo sticks supporting the sky.He put down a pot of plum blossom bonsai in his hand, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, little nephew Jianqing."

Ye Jianqing couldn't hold back her tears, and said, "It's not that long, it's only been ten years."

The author has something to say: Don't leave, there is a sweet episode...

☆, the long-awaited lovesickness destroys the liver and intestines

One does not tie the boat

One morning in March of the 11th year of Kaihuang, the bell of Daxiangguo Temple rang, and the imperial city was still shrouded in misty rain.

After the Shenwumen opened, an imperial envoy in yellow galloped out.On the tall and lofty building, a figure watched him pass through the still waking city square, pass through the majestic nine gates of the capital, and go straight to the endless mountains of Cangshan Mountain.

In a valley hundreds of miles away from the main line of Cangshan Mountain, there is a little-known small mountain village.In the evening, all the people in the village went home from work, cocking and dogs barking at women and scolding children for dancing.There was only one slender man wandering in the sunset at the entrance of the village with two bundles of firewood under his feet.

The imperial envoy in yellow dismounted from his horse and walked on foot.When he arrived in front of the clothed man, he knelt down in front of him and said, "I have met the Marquis of An Ning. Your Majesty has a message for you."

Ye Jianqing swept the mud off his clothes, but the emissary in yellow stood up and said, "Your Majesty said you don't need to kneel." Ye Jianqing thought to himself, I'm not going to kneel for you either.I only heard the man imitate Pei Zhaoye's tone, and said: "You are getting young and promising, and you will contribute to the community. I will love you and pity me. I will be on leave for three years from now on. You don't have to take back the axe, sword, and jade. To the Marquis of Anning Make unannounced visits abroad, patrol hunting on behalf of the sky."

After speaking, the emissary took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Ye Jianqing.Ye Jianqing held it in his hand, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.

He thought Pei Zhaoye was really going to tear him apart this time.But he didn't expect that the other party would give him a lot of money, but instead he seemed mean and petty.Ye Jianqing rubbed his nose dejectedly, and asked, "Are the Holy Majesty and the Crown Prince in good health?"

"Holy bow Antai. After the beginning of spring, the prince entered the Ruisi Hall to study."

Ye Jianqing asked one more question curiously: "Your Highness is enlightened, who are the masters?"

"Master Zuo Jingzhaoyin talks about history and laws, and Mr. Liu, Minister of the Household Department, talks about arithmetic and gewu."

He knows the virtues of Zuo Fengmian too well.Hearing that Liu Chunfeng is Wu Xiaocun's proud disciple, he probably won't be much better.A picture suddenly appeared in Ye Jianqing's mind: The little prince was hiding pitifully in a corner of Ruisi Hall, biting his sleeve with snot and tears: Master Zuo, Master Liu, don't...

He was just gloating at the time.But a month later, when Ye Jianqing saw a group of disguised bodyguards stop at the foot of the mountain, he felt bad.

The one who got off the car first was the disheveled Liu Shilang, who vomited wildly while holding on to the handlebars as soon as he landed.Immediately afterwards, the five-year-old little prince threw himself into his arms vigorously: "The world is full of beauty in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom. The book is indeed correct. Uncle Ye, it's fun here."

Ye Jianqing rubbed his eyes, and after realizing that he was not confused, he turned to Liu Chunfeng angrily: "What's the matter, Lord Liu?" Liu Chunfeng wiped the corners of his mouth, and turned to him with a bitter expression: "Your Majesty is worried about the prince's education, and said The palace cannot teach a qualified heir, so I want to accompany His Highness to study here for a few years."

The storage position is the most dangerous position in the world.Pei Zhaoye's own experience told him that there is no place in the world more dangerous than the palace, as long as you stay there for a year or two, your life will be moldy.As a Mingjun who enjoys the name of Zhongxing, the turmoil in the last years of Taiping made him have a clear understanding of the general trend of the world.Corruption and the gap between the rich and the poor are only temporarily relieved, and new great figures are needed to break the deadlock.

People with such vision and ability cannot be cultivated by the palace.

"What are you messing around with?" Ye Jianqing's face turned pale: "His Royal Highness is very important, how can he stay in the countryside for a long time? Even if he stays for a year or two, then what? Why don't you go back to the palace. When the time comes How can he face the officials? Your Highness is so young, how can he have the heart to separate him from the empress? "

"Your Majesty said that when His Highness has the ability to protect himself, he can either be sent to the northern border or to the West." Lord Liu vomited and vomited, finally there was nothing to vomit except for saliva.

"Western?" Ye Jianqing was dumbfounded.Liu Chunfeng walked over slowly and said: "Three years ago, a merchant ship from the West sailed into the port of Yingzhou to avoid a storm. Several envoys went to the capital to pay homage to our emperor and offered a lot of tribute. Your Majesty stayed with them for more than ten days. In the past two years, three ports in the East China Sea have been opened to trade with foreign countries. In a few years, His Majesty will send ships to the West."

What?Why did Pei Zhaoye never tell him this?Ye Jianqing looked bewildered.Liu Chunfeng seemed to know what he was thinking, and said sarcastically: "The Marquis of Anning hasn't come back for three years, and when he comes back, his buttocks are still warm, and he runs away without a trace. Who should His Majesty tell?"

Ye Jianqing didn't feel any regrets about not participating in the grand event.He looked down at the child, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Your Highness, this place is full of bugs and beasts, it's not fun at all, you might as well go back to the palace."

The little prince hugged Ye Jianqing's thigh, and begged with tears in his eyes: "Father said that if Uncle Ye doesn't let Yasha stay here, he will send Yasha to Xu Shuai in Yunzhou."

It was blatant revenge.The child's bright eyes made Ye Jianqing panic.In the past, he was the only one who made things difficult for Pei Zhaoye, but now it's the other way around.

He glanced at his attendants and asked, "How many people do you want to keep here?" "Just me and Mrs....young master. Let Brother Ye arrange it." Liu Chunfeng had an expression on his face that life would be worse than death.As a third-rank Beijing official, it is enough for him to be in this kind of place where no shit.If the emperor gave him a few more titles of prince and junior teacher, he didn't want to do it anymore.

Ye Jianqing asked again: "Brother Liu knows how to farm?" Liu Chunfeng shook his head. "Can you hunt?" He shook his head again. "Do you know how to herd cattle and raise pigs?" Liu Chunfeng's face turned pale, probably thinking of dirty things like pigsty, turned around and started to vomit again.

God, Buddha... This is considered to be a complete stocking, and it is taken by God.

Wearing ordinary people's coarse clothes, Yasha walked on the mountain road holding Ye Jianqing's hand. "Although Zhou is an old state, its life is new. My father wants me to be an unruly prince in the future. Uncle Ye, what do you want to teach me?"

Forget it, the mountains and rivers in Zhongzhou are beautiful, and there were two thrones here. The water and soil here might really be able to grow something with a different character.

Ye Jianqing didn't realize at this time that he was raising the prince like a pet. "Uncle Ye has nothing to teach you. Those who are skillful work hard and those who know are worried.

On this day, Gu Su, who likes to keep a diary, wrote down a line in his notebook: Here is a prince, a servant, and a monthly payment of silver rice.

Second tassel tent

Long before the prince and Liu Chunfeng came to Cangshan, he and Gu Su lived a tense and sweet life.

Green mountains and clear waters, egrets pass by the paddy fields from time to time.When the two lived here more than ten years ago, they had a lot of time to kill the scenery that they had no intention of admiring.

Every morning, he takes farm tools down the mountain and works with nearby villagers to farm.During the noon break, I would go around the nearby mountains and forests, either hunting or chopping some firewood.In the evening, he returned to his thatched hut halfway up the mountain.He piled the firewood and prey in the east kitchen, shook off the grass clippings on his body, and then entered the main room.

Sunset on Cangshan Mountain, in the twilight of the setting sun, Gu Su was arranging bowls and chopsticks by the big table.Ye Jianqing reached out to get the rice bowl, but he slapped it away, and said with a stern face, "Wash your hands." Ye Jianqing pouted, and went back to the kitchen to wash her hands.

When eating, Gu Su gave him a piece of roasted venison, and he ate it with a smile, and said coquettishly to Gu Su, "I want more." Gu Su picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them in his bowl.Ye Jianqing's face collapsed immediately, and he finished the meal in aggrieved manner.

After clearing the dining table and washing the dishes, it was already dark.Ye Jianqing checked the front and rear of the house and the stove again, and locked the door.People in the valley go to bed early, and now their wives and children are hot on the kang.He went up to the second floor with the oil lamp, and he saw Gu Su sitting under the lamp reading a book.

The leader's hair is all white, and there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and brows. He looks like a person in his 30s, no longer a handsome teenager in skirts.

But Ye Jianqing loves him more now than when he was young
