In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

When the eunuch sent someone to inform the person to leave, Xia Yu was standing in front of the main room of the state, with his hands behind his back, looking at the king's bedroom not far ahead, his eyes seemed indifferent and calm, There is also a bit of unspeakable loneliness.

Xia Yu thought, maybe he should feel relieved and relieved, but what is the vague sourness in his heart?

Looking up at the sky, Xia Yu laughed softly. It was a little inexplicable. He couldn't help asking himself, and he couldn't help thinking about the past. From the time he first came to this world to now, what did he do and what was he? ?

There are no parents above, no brothers in the middle, and no heirs below.

He was originally a lonely soul, wandering in this other world, with no worries or relatives.

Perhaps so, as time goes by, it is inevitable that I feel lonely, it is inevitable that I feel lonely, and it is inevitable that I want to find someone to accompany me.

So at the beginning, I was guilty, and then... acquiesced, and later, I was greedy for the warmth of embracing each other, and I also faintly savored the taste of joy, and I got used to it...

But what about the habit, what about the warmth.

After all, the big dream must come to an end.

Sooner or later he will leave.

If you are persistent, then in the days to come, you will always leave a touch of concern in this world, and you will not be able to rest in peace or forget it.

Xia Yu said to He Ze indifferently, "Let's pass on the meal, don't wait any longer."

He Ze behind him looked at Xia Yu, with complex emotions in his eyes, showing a faint look of regret. When he followed Xia Yu's order and wanted to turn around to pass the meal, He Ze stopped slightly, and finally couldn't help saying to Xia Yu: "If you don't want to , why so."

Hearing Heze's sudden voice behind her, Xia Yu was slightly startled, and when she turned to look at Heze, she saw that Heze seemed to know that she had said something that should not be said by her identity, she lowered her head slightly, bit her lip slightly uneasy, and stopped speaking.

Xia Yu looked at Heze, her expression was a little erratic, she didn't know what to think of, Xia Yu said abruptly: "Heze, do you... like to convince people?"

He Ze was taken aback when he heard this, but looked up at Xia Yu in a daze, regardless of etiquette.

Xia Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, and then seemed to feel nothing. His expression calmed down, and he saw a little flat and sad, and said, "A few times, I saw your convincing eyes..."

When He Ze heard Xia Yu's words, he seemed a little stunned. He thought he had hidden the little thought well, but he never thought that Xia Yu had already penetrated it.

Seeing He Ze's expression, Xia Yu said calmly, "It's different now, if you want, I can arrange it."

When He Ze heard this, his expression changed, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "He Ze's status is humble, so I dare not ask for it."

Xia Yu looked very calm, and said: "If you are worried about your status, there is no need to be so. You have worked hard by my side these few years, and I will not treat you badly..."

"Master!" Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, He Ze interrupted Xia Yu with a very sharp voice, regardless of the etiquette. Looking at Xia Yu, there were too many intense emotions in He Ze's eyes, which made Xia Yu They were all taken aback.

He Ze bit his lip, looked at Xia Yu, and then suddenly kowtowed to the ground with three prostrations. After the ceremony, He Ze, whose eyes were already a little red, took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, and said in a voice as calm as possible. : "My lord, please allow Heze to report my love. I... When I first entered the prince's mansion with the lord, I saw that the prince was the heir of a country, but he was gentle and generous, without the arrogance of aristocrats at all. Indeed... I did have a lot of thoughts , with admiration."

Speaking of this, He Ze's voice paused slightly, while Xia Yu's face was flat, showing no joy or anger.

Heze's expression gradually calmed down from the panic, and gradually became firm. It seemed that he had given up a little bit, but he became calm, and said: "Heze is bold, dare to ask the Lord, people live in the world, if there is something that cannot be taken care of Winners, what is the most important?"

Xia Yu didn't expect He Ze to ask this question, she was a little puzzled, and said, "What do you mean?"

He Ze seemed to be relieved at this time, looked at Xia Yu with a calm expression, and said: "The Lord said that if I wish, there will be arrangements, but if the Lord really arranges, the Lord...except for the Lord, other things Side attendant, I'm afraid I won't leave a picture in your heart. If so, I'm afraid I will resent you in my heart and regret it. But if I am always by the side of the Lord, no matter how the Lord treats me , Heze has no regrets."

Xia Yu was confused by He Ze's words, and a little surprised by He Ze's almost swearing words. For a while, she didn't know what to say.

He Ze didn't seem to see Xia Yu's astonishment, he looked at Xia Yu calmly and firmly, and said: "In this world, there is always one thing that is more important than others. Although my heart is not admiring love, it is ten times more important than my heart for the Lord. I am willing to live for the Lord and die for the Lord. No matter how the Lord treats me, I will die in Heze nine times without regret.”

Xia Yu froze, looking at He Ze, and He Ze looked at Xia Yu very calmly, without flinching in the slightest.

After a long time, Xia Yu sighed, and said with a wry smile, "Why bother?" However, even though he said this, there was some warmth and emotion in his heart. ..., people live in this world, they always need a companion, you can choose one, in the kingdom of Yan, as long as it is not too much, I will agree to you."

He Ze was silent for a while, and then said, "Can I really choose one?"

Xia Yu nodded and said, "Why can't you trust my promise?"

He Ze said: "Don't dare." After a pause, He Ze said, "If the Lord allows me to choose, I am willing to be by the Lord's side for the rest of my life, serving as the Lord's subordinates."

Heze's answer was beyond Xia Yu's expectation. Looking at Heze in a daze, Xia Yu said, "You..."

He Ze smiled, but some water came out of his eyes and slipped down. He looked at Xia Yu while crying and smiling, and said: "It's so cold in this palace, and Your Majesty... I want to be with you Lord, there is no one in this world who makes Heze want to be with him for the rest of his life without regretting like Lord."

After Heze finished speaking, he kowtowed again, saying: "But please allow the Lord, Heze wishes to be the Lord and servants for the rest of his life."

Xia Yu stood there without any response for a long time. He should refuse, after all, for him, this life is not the end, but for Heze, this life is really a lifetime.

But, maybe it's really the weakness inside. I turned my head to look at the palace where Furen lives. It will be very cold and lonely in the days to come. I really want to keep some warmth and companionship.

So Xia Yu finally replied to He Ze, "Okay."

He Ze was very happy to hear Xia Yu's answer. He smiled through his tears, got up after thanking him, and said, "My lord... oh, it's time to serve the meal." He Ze paused again, hesitated, but finally said, "If the Lord really cares about it, why should you wrong yourself, in fact, the Lord is to the Lord..."

Xia Yu smiled, and said with a light smile: "What is the most important thing in your heart?" He casually turned his head to look at the picture of the return of the four seas hanging on the main hall, and said, "What is my heart's most important? If you can't have both in your life who, what is the most important?"

Xia Yu murmured to herself, "What matters to me is to make the country rich and strong, and what matters to me is to dominate the world." Seeing the picture of the return of the four seas to one, Xia Yu calmly said, " Just like the most important thing in the king's heart, it is always the state and society of Yan Kingdom."

The king's bedroom.

The servant looked at Fang Mu who came in behind the eunuch with a plate of food, and saw that this Fang Mu was different from when he first met a few days ago—he changed into silk clothes, changed his hairstyle, A few finely carved hairpins were also inserted, the complexion on the face became fair, and the lips were slightly rosy, which was actually covered with makeup.

Convincing people just feel sick and irritable for a while.

You must know that according to etiquette, the identities of the inner master and the outer master are equal. The difference between the inner master and the outer master lies in the hair style. , also does not wear makeup, does not insert pearls and emeralds, and the behavior of dressing up in such a fancy way was originally an advocacy, and later many pets with low status in noble families gradually followed suit. These pets are like servants, mostly because of their status Humble and lowly people, in order to win the favor of their husbands, they don't care about the so-called status and dignity. Of course, they cater to the husbands as happy as they want. That's why, the style of wearing makeup powder in the inner house is gradually rising in the homes of noble relatives, but it has always been It is disgusting to serve people.

Convincing people are used to Xia Yu's "pure natural" demeanor, so how could they be patient with such ostentatious gestures.

After sitting at the desk, the servant didn't look at Fang Mu who was laying out the food and vegetables, but turned to look at the empty hall below the hall, this cold and empty hall.

Suddenly, Furen lifted the table, and the food and utensils on the table fell all over the floor, Furen ignored it, and ran out quickly, causing Fang Mu beside him to scream, and the eunuchs hurriedly followed is behind.

Furen quickly ran to Xia Yu's main room, Xia Yu was having dinner at this time, he was very surprised to see Furen barging in, and shouted: "Your Majesty?"

Fu Ren stepped forward and stepped over the table, grabbed Xia Yu's wrist and pulled him up, hugging him tightly, because he couldn't help panting because he was running all the way just now, Fu Ren said: "Ayu, I I don’t want anyone else, I just want you. It doesn’t matter whether you have children or not. It doesn’t matter whether you have a country or a country. Nothing is important. As long as you are by my side, I just want you. I only like you. We are fine, just the two of us , together, forever"

Xia Yu, who seemed to be very moved after hearing these words, actually hugged Furen back, and said, "I will also be with you, for the rest of my life..."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Some twisting voices woke people up from their delusions, and they opened their eyes suddenly, only to see the empty and deserted bedroom hall in front of them, turning their heads, and beside him was the one who was painted with powder and grease. Fang Mu, the servant sent by Ayu, looked at her very "shyly" at this moment, and said, "Your Majesty, the food is getting cold."

Furen looked at Fang Mu, then lowered his head to look at the table in front of him, it was not overturned, and he looked at the clean and empty hall, and there were no utensils or food thrown all over the floor.

It turned out that it was just a big dream, and all the things just now were hallucinations of sleep, not real.

The only reality at this moment is the gentle voice that Fang Mu deliberately imitated next to his ear, saying: "Your Majesty, it is getting cold just now, if you are sleepy, you should rest after eating."

Recently, the situation in the Yan Kingdom has been chaotic. Sun You "watched the funeral", Situ Ye was dismissed from office, Gu Zhucun went back to his hometown, Qin Bi, Qin Kai and his son have completely become talkative gourds, wishing that everyone could not see them.

However, no matter how turbulent the court situation is, when it's time to go to court, you still have to go to court, and the decrees that should be promulgated will not be half-divided, nor will Xia Yu stop.

In the early morning of the second day, Xia Yu went to the servant's dormitory in the early stage. Behind him were piles of bamboo slips held by the eunuchs. It was a decree he planned to issue recently. It was rather cumbersome. If it is a simple summary, it can be said that it is similar to the addition of children in later generations. endowed decree.

The country of Yan has swallowed up a lot of land now, what is needed now is to support the population, or to increase the population rapidly, this is how to increase the population without adding taxes, but the wars between countries in this era are becoming more and more cruel, although It has not yet reached the Warring States period of later generations, such as Bai Qi, who wiped out tens of thousands of people in one battle, but there are still some young and strong people in the war, and the ability to fight the whole country depends on various conscription laws It is based on the balance between the population increase and the wartime conscription law, the training of the standing army and the military merit system. All kinds of laws and regulations are required to balance and complement each other, but they must be cautious and naturally complicated.

When entering the Yanjun dormitory, Furen was also coming out of the dormitory. The two looked at each other, and were a little stunned for a while, but Furen came back to his senses first, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Ayu... Yu, it's still early, you accompany me to the Taimiao."

Xia Yu was silent for a while, then said, "Okay."

When the Yan Kingdom moved to the country, the tablet tablets of the successive monarchs were also moved out of the Taimiao in Jidu and followed them together. When they arrived at Wucheng City, the Taimiao was naturally located in the Yan Palace. According to the etiquette of Zuozu Youshe, it was in Yangong In a hall on the left side.

The Yan Palace in the Endless City is very small. Fu Ren and Xia Yu arrived at the Taimiao within a few steps. The two walked slowly into the temple. Afterwards, he got up, walked slowly in the Taimiao for a long time, turned his back to Xia Yu, and said, "Ayu, let's be monarchs and ministers from now on."

Xia Yu looked at Furen's back, and through Furen's back, glanced at the tablets of the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom, but said nothing.

Furen kept his back to Xia Yu, didn't turn around, and said in a stiff voice that barely fluctuated, "Ayu, you never owed me anything, I owed you, I violated my original oath, violated the past Our contract has three chapters."

Xia Yu looked calm at this time, and said lightly: "It doesn't count, if I don't allow it, your lord can't do it either."

Furen's back twitched, as if he was smiling, and there was a different kind of bitterness in his laughter, he said: "Ayu, you don't have to feel guilty anymore, you don't owe me anything, you don't need to feel guilty about me, from now on, we, as monarchs and ministers Bar."

The last few words, almost one by one, were slowly spit out from the mouth, as hard as a rock, and slowly smashed to the ground.

Xia Yu closed her eyes slightly. After a long time, she calmed down the slightly ups and downs in her heart, and said, "Okay."

Furen stood there without moving, Xia Yu opened his eyes, looked at Furen's back, bowed slightly, and said, "I have something important to announce at the Xiaochao meeting, that is, the decrees discussed with your majesty a few days ago, I have to go back and get ready."

Standing with his hands behind his back, he said, "I'll stay for a while, and we'll meet up at the meeting to discuss in detail."

Xia Yu said "No", turned around and left. At this time, the autumn clothes were fading away and the weather was getting colder. After coming out of the Taimiao, a gust of wind blew up, and it was a bit cold. Xia Yu gathered up her skirt and wrapped it tightly The cloak on the back of the branch slowly descended from the high steps of the Taimiao.

What kind of feelings do you have for the servants?When Xia Yu walked down slowly, she asked herself in her heart.

In fact, this is better, this is also good, it is very simple and convenient, but what is the matter with the sourness in my heart?

Convincing people that I don’t need to feel guilty, yes, I was guilty at the beginning, but after getting along for a long time, I also liked it a little bit, but I just liked it, because I never felt that kind of warmth or that kind of feeling A faint liking is more important than a thousand revenges in the chest, and it has been because it is just a faint liking for a long time.

Just liking, not love, never was.

In the Taimiao, the servant stood with his hands behind his back, and never looked back. He looked up at the spiritual thrones of the successive monarchs of the Yan Kingdom, tears welled up in his eyes, and tears streamed down his expressionless face. Gradually, the tears stopped, and the expression on the dark, joyless face gradually became hard, cold, and even more emotionless.

Slightly closing his eyes, he began to recall in his mind the decree that Xia Yu discussed with him a few days ago to support the population without paying taxes, thinking about the details to be discussed at the Xiaochao meeting.

The monarch of Yan State, whose surname is Furen, succeeded to the throne for the fifth year, after experiencing political disputes between the inner court and the outer court, he finally let go of the softest part of his heart, and finally learned how to go from killing it to being a king. decision.

The so-called killing of them is decisive, and the so-called king's decision is unintentional.

Furen turned his back to the gate of the Taimiao hall, looked at the thrones of the monarchs of the Yan Kingdom, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: My favorite is the ancestor of the Yan Kingdom, Bangguo Sheji.

Xia Yu came out from the gate of the Taimiao hall and descended the steps slowly. At this time, she also understood like never before - what she wants is to show off the ambitions in her chest.

The two people who once hugged and slept together on the same couch, almost the closest in the world, now face each other and walk away.
