Offer a tripod

Yuan Jing's first southern tour after he ascended the throne was in the early summer of the third year of Changle.A department allocated tens of thousands of civilians to build hundreds of dragon boats, Xiangchi boats, and building boats, which were connected back and forth and gathered on the Bian River.Before traveling, the huge momentum has spread far and wide.

Although Chu Yu was in Wu City, he also heard the news.On the night of hearing the news, it was another sleepless night.As the day of the southern tour approached, the decree officer came to Wucheng and delivered an imperial decree.

Chu Yu has been stationed here for more than two years, and it is the first time he has received news from the capital. Even though he has exercised more restraint, he can't help but have some undue thoughts.But after he got it, he discovered that not only was the imperial decree not written by Yuan Jing himself, but the content on it was also concise and to the point, without any trace of affection.

The thing in the book is to ask him to dispatch [-] elite soldiers from the Shenwu Army to guard him along the way.

The seal on the imperial decree is vain, as if the person who made up the decree did it perfunctorily.Chu Yu thought it was strange to have such an edict, but Yuan Jing's trip to the south came so suddenly. After thinking about it, he felt suspicious, so he called Fang Qing and asked, "Is Beijing in the middle?" What happened?"

When Xinying came every month, Fang Qing recalled the contents of the last secret letter, and said truthfully: "Everything is as usual."

Now that Yuan Jing is far away in the sky, Chu Yu can't see anyone, so he can't rest assured no matter what.After thinking for a moment, except for the [-] elite soldiers he wanted, he sent out all the shadow guards around him to investigate.

Just when Wushitu came to be a guest, he saw the elites in iron armor lined up at the gate of the city, and he couldn't help but wonder, now Dayan is recuperating, there has been no war for a long time, but he doesn't know where this group of troops is going to go.After entering the city, I met Fang Qing, and only then did I know about Yuan Jing's decree.He is used to hanging around among women, and he is the most proficient in the way of love.Hearing this, he was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "This little emperor, his temperament is finally over!" Remembering that there was no figure of Chu Yu in the team just now, he asked again: "Where is your general? Can't wait to leave first ?”

Fang Qing didn't understand what was going on here, and asked in a daze, "Our general is in the tent of the Chinese army, where is he going?"

Wushitu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, whipped his horse, and headed for the Shenwu army camp.Looking inside, Chu Yu was still sitting on the armchair wiping his knife, Wushitu immediately said: "The imperial decree has come, how can you still sit still?"

Chu Yu was worrying about this matter, and he didn't have a gentle tone, just said: "What are you shouting about, people have already sent it over."

Wushitu almost laughed angrily at him: "Did you get fooled by him? The Jingzhong Habayashi Army is more than [-]. Do you need any masters? He lacks your [-] guards? This step is for you , what he wants is you!"

Chu Yu's movement of wiping the knife paused, his heart beat violently uncontrollably, and his voice was rarely trembling: "...What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wu Shitu only thought that he still couldn't let go of his self-esteem and face, and hated iron and steel: "In the past, people didn't want to be with you, and you kept him if you tied him up. Now that people have changed their minds, you still pick him up." Okay, okay, just sit here, Jiangnan is beautiful, it is a good place for outstanding people, when he gets there, he will see some beautiful woman, or be attracted by some beautiful woman, and then make a new love, left embrace When you hold it right, you will regret it." After saying that, he turned around and left the tent, and rode away.Although he spoke powerfully, he could do it halfway, and he thought in his heart, if Chu Yu and the little emperor can get back together this time, maybe his silly brother can calm down.Thinking of this, I couldn't do nothing, so I had to reluctantly turn back.

When he arrived at the tent door, he heard the guard report: "The general has left." Asked where he was going, he replied: "I don't know." After thinking for a while, he said: "He took the chief guard Fang with him."

Wushitu was stunned for a moment, clapped his hands and laughed, and never mentioned Heqi.

It was late at night when Chu Yu's fast horse entered Beijing.Several days had passed, and when he thought of the imperial decree and Ushtu's words, he still felt like he was dreaming. The guards were checking the official letter, so he stopped at the gate of the city to look at it.Over the past two years, he has lived through incomparable suffering, and the pain in his heart has not stopped for a moment, but now standing under this city tower, knowing that Yuan Jing is just around the corner, that bitter feeling suddenly disappeared.

After Fang Qing finished the interrogation, when he turned around to look, he saw that he was still not moving, and urged in a low voice: "General?"

Chu Yu tightened the reins, raised his hand and said, "Go into the city."

The city looks the same as the day we left, the curfew has been lifted, and there are no pedestrians on the street.The Shenwu Army has strict discipline, and has been rushing for several days, with a posture that looks like cold iron.The crotch/lower horse moved forward with its head held high, like a sharp long knife, silently stepping across this long silent street.When the defenders in the city met them, they were overwhelmed by their aura and silently retreated to the sides, watching them go.

With lingering fears in his heart, the inspector leaned forward to have a look, and asked unsurely, "Is the one in the lead Chu... General Tiance?"

The person behind him had seen this great general who was famous all over the world three years ago, and nodded repeatedly: "That's right! It's him! Why is he back again?"

The inspector remembered the old incident that he had heard before, and the sweat on his head suddenly came down: "Go to the palace and report to Commander Cao!"

Chu Yu didn't need them to send messages at all, he was so worried and worried, and after entering the city, he brought Fang Qing into the palace to renew the order before he could go back to the mansion to rest.When Cao Ruyi heard the news, she thought she had heard it wrong. When she saw someone, she blurted out: "Why did you come to Beijing?"

Chu Yu knew that he was now the most important minister around Yuan Jing, so he knew that Yuan Jing would not hide anything from him if he had something on his mind.Now that she heard it, Cao Ruyi clearly didn't know about her affairs.He was in high spirits all the way, but now he couldn't help but sink down.

Fang Qing glanced at Chu Yu's expression, and replied instead: "The general is afraid that His Majesty's deadline will be missed, so he came to reply the order in person, and I will trouble the commander to pass it on."

Cao Ruyi took it over and saw that it was indeed from the hands of the Holy Master. He stared straight for a moment, and then reluctantly said: "I'll pass it on, you guys wait here for a while."

He rushed all the way to the Changning Hall, but Yuan Jing was not surprised when he heard this person's name, he just said indifferently: "Tell him that I have fallen asleep." When he got up, he told Xiao Liu, Go to the Hall of Renming, where the queen lives.

He is so thoughtful now that even Cao Ruyi can hardly spy on him. Seeing him leave as soon as he said, he disappeared in the blink of an eye. He was full of questions and couldn't answer, so he went to answer with hatred.

When Chu Yu heard the oral order, he was disappointed, and his previous speculation surfaced again.In front of everyone, he stood still and returned to the general's mansion.When the bang sounded at midnight, he quietly went out and sneaked into the palace.

In the imperial city, the grass is borrowed from the flowers to sleep, the wind is clear and the night is quiet, it is a peaceful scene.He hid himself all the way, and came to the Changning Hall. The lamps and candles in the hall were dim and silent, as if the master who stayed here had really fallen asleep.Chu Yu stopped and listened for more than a moment, but he didn't hear Yuan Jing's breathing. When he was anxious, he suddenly remembered: "He is married now, so at night... naturally he doesn't need to sleep alone."

As early as when he heard the news of Yuan Jing's marriage, he was ready to let go, so he sent someone to send a congratulatory gift without even asking who the other party was.But with the matter in front of my eyes, I realized that the taste was heartbreaking and unbearable.He stood in the shadows for a long time, and when he finally walked towards Renming Hall, his steps became very heavy.

The empress has always been self-denying and frugal, and there are not many palace people in Renming Hall, and the guards are not as strict as other places.As soon as Chu Yu entered, he heard a burst of laughter coming from inside, and when he looked again, he saw Yuan Jing holding the crown prince Yuan Cheng high above his head, teasing and teasing, sitting beside him, on the screen window. The woman with a hidden smile must be his queen.

Chu Yu couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen Yuan Jing so happy, so he wanted to take a step closer to see his smiling face, and then forced himself to stop, thinking of Yuan Jing's treatment of him in the past What I said: "After leaving you, my luck has changed."

Now it seems that this is true.Chu Yu felt bitter and unspeakable, secretly said: "The family of three is happy and happy, why would you want to get in the way?"

He left the palace silently, and returned to the general's mansion alone, back to the place where Yuan Jing and him lived together day and night, and their love was boundless.

Seeing his lonely expression, Fang Qing asked worriedly, "General, what's wrong with Your Majesty?"

Chu Yu said hoarsely: "No, he is fine."

In the Hall of Renming, the queen saw that the prince was tired from playing, so she ordered the nurse to take the child inside to rest.Yuan Jing seemed to be a little bit unsatisfied, sitting at the table and drinking a small cup of plum wine.The queen sat beside him, and said softly: "Your Majesty hasn't come to my concubine for a long time, why are you in such a good mood tonight?"

Yuan Jing didn't look at her either, and said casually, "Really?"

The queen covered her lips and smiled lightly: "The last time I saw His Majesty like this was three years ago." She paused and said, "Is it also because that General Chu is coming back this time?"

Yuan Jing's hand holding the cup stopped, and he looked up, his eyes were dark and difficult to understand: "What does the queen want to say?"

Although his tone was calm, the nervous look in his eyes could not be concealed from others.The tenderness on the queen's face did not decrease by half, she smiled: "What do you think the concubine wants to say?" He raised his hand to pour a glass of ice wine for Yuan Jing, and then said softly: "In the past two years, although you I don’t mention it, but I know in my heart that you have never forgotten that General Chu, so you are depressed all day long, and my concubine’s morals are weak, and I can’t share the worries for your majesty. Now the only person who can touch your heart has finally returned, my minister. I am really happy for you."

Yuan Jing didn't seem to expect her to be so magnanimous, his eyes fell, but he looked hesitant: "I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this, besides he..." Looking at his reflection in the cup, his eyelashes lightly lightened. The ground trembled and said no more.

The next day when Chu Yu entered the palace to renew the decree, Yuan Jing was discussing the southern tour with the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and without raising his head when he heard the words, he said calmly: "Tell him, I know, let him go back and rest."

Chu Yu was not surprised, nodded silently, and walked away.Thinking of Wushitu's words now, he just feels childish and ridiculous. He has done so many irreparable wrong things, how can he expect Yuan Jing to forgive himself and return to his side again?

Looking at it now, that edict might just be the emperor's political strategy, to show the world the harmony between the monarch and his ministers. I didn't know his intentions before, and now it's too inappropriate to come up to make trouble.

He was thinking a lot, and even had the idea of ​​leaving. At this moment, in the imperial garden, he saw a child running towards him. This child was only three or four years old, walking With two short legs, she ran very fast, and more than a dozen palace people chased after her: "Your Highness, slow down, Your Highness."

Yuan Cheng was annoyed by being chased, he turned his head and waved his hands, not wanting to accidentally trip over the bluestone steps and fall to the ground.Chu Yu quickly stepped forward and picked him up.Yuan Cheng's palms were flushed from the fall, but he just looked at it indifferently, let alone crying, he didn't even cry out in pain.On the contrary, all the palace people turned pale with fright, and Qiqi thanked Chu Yu.

Chu Yu said: "It doesn't matter." Just as he was about to return the person back, Yuan Cheng suddenly grabbed his collar, and saw the little prince staring at him with dark eyes, and asked in a childlike voice: "You are from Beijiang. Is that the general of yours?"

Chu Yu glanced at the people behind him, saw that they were also looking at each other, and said strangely: "Yes, how did Your Highness know?"

Yuan Cheng bit his finger, examined him for a while, and then said vigilantly: "Father told me last night, he said, there is the most hated person in the world."

Chu Yu didn't expect that Yuan Jing would take the initiative to mention himself to him. Although he couldn't tell the deep meaning behind this sentence for a while, his heart still jumped violently. When he spoke, his voice was a little unnatural: "He... said?"

Yuan Chengsheng was born early, although he is still not familiar with the world, but remembering his father's smiling and worried look when he mentioned this person last night, he always felt that it would be troublesome for him to stay, so he rolled his eyes and nodded vigorously : "Yes, father said, he doesn't like you at all! As soon as he heard you coming, he threw away all the things you gave him!"

Chu Yu's whole body was shocked, and he said as if he didn't believe it: "Your Highness is saying...he has been carrying it all the time?"

Yuan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had slipped his tongue. A hint of anger appeared on his face: "What did I say? Father is busy with state affairs, so he can't remember you!"

The old man in the palace knew Chu Yu's identity, and was afraid that His Royal Highness would be too bad-tempered and annoy him, so he hurried forward to take him over: "Your Highness is not sensible, I hope the general will forgive me."

When they took him away, Chu Yu's chest was still hot.He thought that Yuan Jing deliberately pretended to have amnesia in the past, in order to completely get rid of himself and break with the past.Now it seems that he may not be the only one who can't forget the old love.

Chu Yu immediately turned back and walked to the front of the Daqing Hall, but saw Xue Yi coming one step ahead of him.Xiao Liu eagerly went to greet him, but what he said in his mouth was: "The past few days, His Majesty always said that his shoulders are so sore, and he will be on a southern tour soon, please take care of him."

Chu Yu recalled the past, suddenly lost the courage to go in, stopped for a long time, and finally turned and left.

He didn't enter the palace, and Yuan Jing didn't take the initiative to summon him.When the two reunited after a long absence, it was already after the southern tour started.

On the night when Yujia set off, the emperor followed the etiquette and entertained the officials on the dragon boat, which was divided into five floors.Most officials below the second rank drank on the second and third floors, and only a few important officials were invited to the top floor of the dragon boat where the emperor lived.Chu Yu came from afar and was also invited.Not wanting to drink for three rounds, Yuan Jingcai and his imperial concubine came late.

In the past two years, Chu Yu has seen him countless times in his dreams, and he can still force himself to leave in his dreams.Now that I only glanced at him, I couldn't take my attention away from him.

The people sitting here are all Yuan Jing's confidantes, so they are naturally wary of the mastermind of the palace change a few years ago, so the atmosphere was dull at the banquet, and the cheers of the ministers under him were not heard at all.Yuan Jing ordered someone to pour a cup of fine wine and brought it to Chu Yu: "I brought this wine from outside the palace. It's called Fleeting Spring. The general came from afar to work hard. I respect you a cup."

Chu Yu got up and took it: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing Yuan Jing's voice was slightly hoarse, he couldn't help pointing to his throat, and said with concern: "The heart of the river is cool, your Majesty's dragon body is not feeling well?"

Yuan Jing said stiffly: "No." The imperial concubine hid her face and snickered, and said, "Your Majesty just said to take a nap, but when he fell asleep, he was like a child, refusing to get up." Yuan Jing said helplessly : "Aifei..."

Chu Yu smiled silently, and pretended not to care, but at this moment he couldn't hold back anymore.As soon as Yuan Jing intertwined with his gentle eyes, he looked away, took a sip by himself, and changed the subject: "Is this wine general still satisfied?"

Chu Yu took a full drink, looked at him and said, "Everything that His Majesty bestows, I do not dislike."

Yuan Jing said indifferently: "Is that so? I think this wine is very bitter. If it doesn't have a refreshing taste, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it."

Hearing that his tone was weird and his words were not very pleasant, Xiao Liu couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.Chu Yu smiled when he heard the words, and said: "If your majesty doesn't like it, just leave it to the humble minister." He picked up the silver jug ​​containing wine, picked up a clean cup, poured it to [-]% full, and pinched it again. He put in a candied fruit covered with frosting sugar, waved to Xiaoliu, and signaled him to present it to Yuanjing.

Yuan Jing had been under his control for a long time, but now that he was looking at him intently, he was inexplicably guilty, so he picked it up and took a sip. The sweet wine entered his throat, but instead he curled his lips, not knowing where he was going. I'm happy, so I won't speak anymore.As soon as Chu Yu saw his unhappy face, he subconsciously wanted to hug him to coax him, raised his arm, and remembered where he was now, and fell silent for a while.

When the banquet was over, Yuan Jing didn't give him another look.After drinking, all the officials went back to the boat to rest.Xiao Liu led Chu Yu to a luxuriously decorated room on the lower floor of the dragon boat, saying that since the general came to protect him from afar, he lived nearby, so he could do things cheaply.

After Chu Yu went back, he still couldn't calm down. Yuan Jing's figure was all in his mind, and he felt sweet and sour for a while.If he was in a daze for a long time, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, his heart was shaken, he hurriedly turned back, opened the door and saw two young and beautiful maidens standing outside the door, claiming to be ordered by His Majesty to serve the general to bed .

When Chu Yu heard this, it was as if someone had poured cold water on him, and he even forgot the honorific: "He asked you to come?"

The two girls looked shy, lowered their eyebrows and said, "Yes."

Chu Yu's face was clouded, and he said coldly: "Go back, you are not needed here."

The two maids looked at each other, exchanged glances uneasily, and said: "General, His Majesty called our sisters here. If you don't allow it, His Majesty will punish the servants and beg the General to take pity on you."

The younger one also hurriedly begged: "General, we are used to serving by His Majesty's side. His Majesty has always praised us for our cleverness. We will definitely serve the General well. Please, General, don't drive us away."

Chu Yu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You have always been by His Majesty's side?" Seeing her two nodding repeatedly, she sighed softly: "Come in."

The river wind blew, and the colored lantern hanging at the door of his room twirled lightly, and the light dimmed. Xiao Liu approached tiptoely, but he didn't dare to approach the door, pricked up his ears, and listened from a distance. After a while, he turned back quietly.The whispers in the room were like wind, and didn't stop all night.At dawn, the two girls left his room, yawning uncontrollably.Chu Yu also didn't close his eyes all night, and his face was a little tired.After a short rest, he went to the emperor's bedroom to serve him.

When he entered the door, he saw that everyone looked quite nervous, and they were also very careful in what they said and did. He just pretended that Yuan Jing hadn't woken up yet, and asked a casual question in a low voice, not wanting the sound of broken porcelain to come from inside.The two young eunuchs packed up two small jade cups and bowed out.

Is it strange that he was so angry, Chu Yu wanted to ask Xiao Liu, but saw that he was looking at him with a strange expression, and clearly had something to say.

Chu Yu asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Liu didn't dare to speak again: "No...it's okay."

Chu Yu leaned over and took a look, and saw that the curtain on the dragon couch was not covered, Yuan Jing seemed to be still inside, and suddenly remembered something: "Is your majesty feeling unwell?"

Xiao Liu shook his head, he mustered up his courage, and just in time to speak, Yuan Jing called out coldly from inside: "Xiao Liu!"

Chu Yu was confused, so he just stood outside for a whole day, leaned forward several times to watch, but he didn't even see half of Yuan Jing's clothes.Seeing the sky turn from bright to dark, the colorful lights on the dragon boat also lit up one after another.Xiaoliu seemed to be on some errand, just now she came out in a hurry, and when she saw Chu Yu, she seemed to be asking questions, and quickly saluted, not to answer, but she didn't even dare to show her eyes, and walked away quickly up.

When the door opened, a quiet fragrance came from inside. This fragrance made people want to be intoxicated. Chu Yu only smelled a little, and felt warm all over his body.When he turned around to look, he saw Yuan Jing wearing a moon-white robe that stretched to the ground, the neckline was slightly open, and the deep concave collarbone was looming, and he held a wine cup in his hand, his skin was almost the same color as white jade.

Chu Yu had been abstinent for a long time, but when he saw this scene, he felt his stomach burn instantly.He forced himself to turn around, not to look too much, because the body was not as he thought, and he could clearly detect any movement of the person inside, just like the person in front of his eyes.There was only a clear sound, it seemed that Yuan Jing put down the wine cup, got up and left.Chu Yu couldn't help turning his head again, and saw him stepping on the carpet with bare feet, the golden light shining on his slender ankles, and he was wearing the ankle ring he gave him.

Chu Yu felt a dull pain in his heart, and walked outside.

It happened that Xiao Liu came with a slim beauty, when he saw Chu Yu, his whole body tensed up, and he lowered his head immediately, not daring to look at him.The nearby palace people knelt down and said, "See Empress Fangyi."

Chu Yu didn't know her reason for coming for a while, until the graceful lady asked in a shy and expectant voice: "Is Your Majesty inside?" He didn't understand.

The ray of sweet fragrance drifted past him from far to near, and then fell behind the door like a ray of spring breeze.When the gentle laughter sounded, the door of the bedroom was quietly closed.Chu Yu saw the dim and ambiguous red light shining through the window screen, his heart ached almost to the point of bleeding, but he couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and walked away.

Xiao Liu knew his temper well, seeing him leave without saying a word, she felt very uneasy, and boldly went in to report.Yuan Jing didn't seem to care, he waved his hand and let him go out.

Chu Yu didn't go far, but just found a deserted place to blow the cold wind.There are dots in the heart of the river, as if someone put up a lotus lantern.In a trance, he remembered that Mid-Autumn Festival night.

Yuan Jing leaned in his arms with nostalgia, only his own shadow was reflected in his eyes, even if he hid behind the door, he couldn't see his appearance, and the love in his voice couldn't be hidden.He made a lifelong wish to the lotus lantern, to be with him forever.But just when he turned around with confidence, he broke the lotus lantern.

Chu Yu lowered his head and looked at his hands, only to feel the emptiness in his heart.
