On the endless sea.

Three huge palace-like ships drove forward side by side, facing the wind and waves, flying the yellow dragon flag symbolizing imperial power, and slowly sailed towards the direction of Da Zhou with a ship full of spoils.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, Wang Shi's expeditionary army returned to the court from Fusang.

Koryo, Fusang, Silla, and Baekje were all classified as the territory of the Great Zhou in the same way as Nanzhao in the past, and the subordinate states were changed to vassal lands. The rulers of each vassal land were appointed and dismissed by the Emperor of Dazhou himself, and they could not make their own decisions.

The administration of commerce and the measurement of currency in various places were all changed to the standard of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the standard of supply for each year was also consistent with that of the prefectures and counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After this battle, it was almost impossible to find an opponent to match the status of Great Zhou on that huge map of all nations.

The sun sets in the west, afterglow.

On the two-foot-high podium, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu sat side by side. They were both wearing tight-fitting cotton padded clothes and four pieces of half-armor around their lower bodies. They were grilling two big fish over a pot of charcoal fire, enjoying the rare comfort after the war.

"The scenery on the sea is so beautiful. No wonder the ancients said that once the sea was too difficult for water." Han Mochu shook the silver bottle in his hand, raised his head and took a sip.

When Han Mo eats grilled food for the first time, he always likes to pair it with spirits that have been sipped on ice. The cold spirits can always whet people's appetite.

However, Gu Xiu could never experience his happiness in this life.

Since Gu Xiu was 12 years old, Han Mochu always wanted Gu Xiu to try drinking from time to time, but ended in failure every time.

The most recent time was two years ago, when the two of them had a quarrel while doing such things, Gu Xiu drank the remaining cold wine in Han Mochu's cup on a whim, and Leng Yi's face instantly burned like a fire, and the whole night Crying and laughing at the incoherence, it was not until Han Mochu's first ruler tapped on the arm that he honestly fell asleep wrapped up in the quilt.

"The sea used to be difficult for water, except that Wushan is not a cloud." Gu Xiuyuan looked at the blood-like setting sun at the intersection of the sea and the sky, stretched out his arm, and motioned Han Mochu to lean towards him. Gu Xiu wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his shoulder, and stretched his body more and more indulgently.Gu Xiu lowered his eyebrows in a favorable manner, pressed against the person's ear, and whispered softly against the person's ear: "Master, I want Wu Shanyun."

"Gu Yunchi, what do you want to do?" Han Mochu's ears were itchy from being sucked in his mouth, and the strength of the wine he drank dissipated, making him feel uncomfortable all over. He could only put down the silver bottle and wine jug in his hand, trying to break free from his arms Come out: "If you make trouble as a teacher again, you will be angry, really angry."

"It's been almost two months since I've been jealous. Doesn't Ziran have any unreasonable thoughts about me? I can't help it since ten days ago." Gu Xiu, an adult, no longer had those fears of his youth. Skin and cheeks both get thicker and thicker with age.He imprisoned him in his arms with both hands, and greedily gnawed at the protrusion of his Adam's apple. The violent sea breeze made people's eyes blurred, as if a ball of fire was rushing towards dry wood.

"Fusang is such a small country, and the Lord Renyou still has 36 wives and female servants, why does His Majesty only pester one person?" Han Mochu propped his elbows, and put his arms against the shoulders of the beast on his body.

"The sea used to be difficult for water, except for Wushan, which is not a cloud." Gu Xiu bent his knees and pressed on Han Mochu, leaning down to bully him: "I have been used to seeing beauties like Zi Ran since I was a child, so naturally I look down on others. This is Zi Ran's expedition I said it myself before."

"Gu Yunchi!" Han Mochu put his arms into a stalemate with the person: "If you want to do it, you have to go back to the cabin. How can it be resolved on the spot?"

The sun goes down, the moon rises.On the podium, the charcoal basin for grilling fish was flickering and dark, the belly of the two big fish was also charred black, the silver bottle was blown down by the sea wind, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

In the king's cabin, all the candles were extinguished, it was dark, and the clothes on the ground were piled up in a mess.

In the curtain surrounding the bed, the snow-white body looked like a fresh and tender white fish, lost its way out of the water, and was disemboweled and bitten back and forth by wild wolves passing by.

The fish suffered from pain, sometimes grabbed the edge of the brocade quilt, sometimes groaned and beat the bed, and sometimes turned into a fox, with ten nails scratching the beast's strong back to pieces.

The poor emperor, who was personally conquered by the imperial chariot, was unscathed when he charged in front of the battle, but was injured on the way back to the court.

Not to mention that the oily skin is broken, I have no right to complain.

***

June is hot.

When the king returned from an expedition, it was rare for the whole family to be reunited.

The little prince, Yucheng, has grown another year in the half a year since they left, and his height has almost climbed up to Gu Xiu's shoulders. He has completely grown from a milky little dumpling to a solid little man.

On the first day after the king's return to court, Xiao Yucheng, who hadn't seen the two fathers for a long time, naturally began to have fun, playing with the two fathers from noon to midnight, still unsatisfied.

Playing around, Han Mochu suddenly remembered that at the family banquet tonight, Yu Cheng, who had always been so close to Prince Ning's son Yu Heng as if wearing a pair of trousers, did not say a word to Yu Heng for the first time. The playthings that came back were also distributed to Yuqing Zhuosheng and other younger brothers, and none of them were distributed to his elder brother Yucheng.

Such an abnormal situation, Han Mochu couldn't help asking: "Cheng'er, Yafu asked you, why didn't you talk to your elder brother Yuheng at the family banquet today?"

Xiao Yucheng, who was working with Gu Xiu to insert the wings, raised his head and said "ah", then lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the small parts in his hand: "Cheng'er doesn't play with him, he only thinks about the princess." Sister, if I call him he will ignore me, so I will ignore him!"

"Princess Sister? What Princess Sister?" Gu Xiu was a little puzzled by what Yu Cheng said. The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty always had a weak relationship with daughters.

Princess Yu gave birth to Yu Cheng, a boy. King Ning Gu You married for several years, and Princess Ning hugged Princess Ning twice every three years. At the beginning of last year, Princess Ning gave birth to another boy. The four troublemakers are doing their best all day long, and a large group of nurses and nurses can't stand it. Even their eldest sister, Princess Qingzhao, has given birth to boys twice in succession.

Looking at the whole big week, where is there any princess sister?

"It's the princess sister from Baekje!" Xiao Yucheng puffed up her cheeks angrily, and threw the parts in her hand into the box: "Brother Heng was originally going with me to Honglu Temple to borrow interpreted books that day. , and finally saw the princess sister, and then Brother Heng ignored me, and went to talk to that sister like a follower all day long. That sister couldn't even understand Da Zhou's official language, Brother Heng still liked to pester her, and I gave her all my grandmother's emerald bead chains, anyway, I won't talk to brother Heng! I won't talk to him again!"

It turned out that the princess sister Yucheng was talking about was none other than Meng Tong, the Baekje princess who came to Beijing to seek asylum.

Han Mochu knew that this 14-year-old little princess was beautiful, delicate and cute, but he never thought that this little princess could make a child less than ten years old fall in love with him.

Prince Ning's son, Yuheng, is the eldest of Gu Xiu's nephew and nephew. His temperament and appearance are very similar to his father's king. He is the most powerful demon star king in the world.

He originally thought that Gu Xiu, a nephew, would be like his father, greedy for food and play all the way to adulthood, and then inherit the title in a stable manner.Who would have thought that this child would really be like his father, but just because he took one more look at someone, he would never let him go.

"Cheng'er, tell Yafu that you don't want to talk to your brother Cheng. Is it because brother Cheng ignores you, or because you also like that princess sister, but your brother Cheng preempted you?" Han Mochu pinched Xiaoyu With a plump face, he asked with a smile.

"Oh!" Xiao Yucheng rubbed his chubby little face, and replied honestly: "Of course it's because he ignored me! Why should I play with someone who doesn't even understand Dazhou Mandarin?" Huh? Brother Heng is simply inexplicable!"

"Don't Cheng'er like pretty sisters?" Han Mochu asked again.

Xiao Yucheng shook his head without hesitation: "I don't like it, what a beautiful sister. Cheng'er doesn't like to follow other people's butts!"

In the middle of the night, the little guy who had been playing all day finally couldn't stand it any longer, and went back to the palace to sleep, rubbing his eyes and yawning.

A pair of monarchs and ministers also changed their pajamas, clinging to each other and falling into the big bed covered with bamboo mats.

The weather was sweltering, Han Mochu spread out his precious rhino horn fan to cool Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu leaned against Han Mochu's armpits, squinted his eyes and counted the patterns on the man's clothes stupidly.

"Yunchi, what are you thinking?" Han Mochu closed the folding fan in his hand, and caressed the back of Gu Xiu's head intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'm wondering if Cheng'er will fall in love with a man like me in the future." Gu Xiu raised his chin, staring at Han Mochu's flawless profile in the dark.

"Cheng'er will like a man or a woman in the future, but now he is still young, why is His Majesty starting to worry now?"

"I'm not worried. If he really likes men, I hope that he will be more courageous than me, openly change the law, and marry a man's wife decently."

"It turns out that after so many years, Your Majesty still cares about this?" Han Mochu's slender knuckles passed through Gu Xiu's hair, and his fingertips gently pressed the man's scalp to relax: "What I care about is never the status. , there are many couples in the world who have no real names, it is better to have no names like this minister. Your Majesty has given me the most enviable favor in the world, is it not as good as that illusory name?"

"Having said that, it's just a word of monarch and minister. After all, it doesn't sound as comfortable as husband and wife." Gu Xiu closed his eyes resentfully, and rubbed against Han Mochu's chest lightly through Han Mochu's pajamas.

"Your Majesty has something to say, you might as well speak it out." Since childhood, no matter how deeply Gu Xiu's thoughts are hidden, he has never been able to hide from Han Mochu's eyes.

"I want to hear you call my husband." Gu Xiu closed his eyes and said what was in his heart.

For a long time, no one answered.

When Gu Xiu opened his eyes to check the reason, he saw that Han Mochu was already sound asleep.

The so-called dumb loss is about that.

***

In August of the first year of Zaisheng, after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Princess Meng Tong, who lived in Beijing for a year, finally set off to return to Baekje, and with the support of Da Zhou, she became the first Queen of Baekje.

Prince Ning's son Yuheng heard the news, and cried like heaven and earth collapsed, his mouth was full of sores, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and his body was terribly hot.

The herbal medicine prescribed by Miracle Doctor Su just spit it out after pouring it down. Concubine Li was so worried that she begged God and worshiped Buddha all over the world, for fear that something might happen to her eldest grandson.

A month later, the political situation in Baekje was stable.

Queen Mengtong specially sent someone to send back a osmanthus seedling across the sea from Baekje, and sent someone to bring a letter telling Yuheng to take good care of it, and when the seedling grew into an osmanthus tree and bloomed, they could meet again.

Prince Ning's son, who had been decadent for a whole month, came alive overnight.
