General Chu

Early that morning, the stargazing envoy came to report that it coincided with the high tide and the moon, and the Zang Ziwei star would be particularly bright when it hung high in the hollow.

Xu Li Wenyuan didn't show any expression after hearing this, and waved his hand casually to make people retreat.Then I waited secretly for a whole day by myself, and finally because I was too excited, I dragged Mo Wen up to the Zichen Palace at dusk.

On the long jade steps, Xu Liwenyuan stood still, turned around and held the person behind him, and naturally stretched out his hand to interlock his fingers, and said with a little regret, the stargazer said that today's stars will be beautiful, but I feel as if I was caught Cheated.I should still take you to see the moon on a full moon night, every full moon night.

Mo Wen smiled, and said helplessly, the sun hasn't set yet, isn't it too early to see the stars?

Xu Liwenyuan ignored him, but looked into the distance with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.In happiness, he is invulnerable, so he doesn't care about a few words of ridicule.

It was an ordinary evening, but Mo Wen recalled it every day, and refused to forget it for many years.

The Queen's Seal Ceremony is imminent, and there are many things in the palace, but no one is in charge. Everyone is busy like headless chickens.So a female official stood at the bottom of the steps and lingered for a long time, finally faltering and saying that she asked to see General Mo.

Although there is no owner in the central palace, it is an indelible fact that there are two people living in Chengqing Palace.

Mo Wen listened to the female officer's report in silence, with a stiff expression and a dilemma.

The person next to him held back his laughter and secretly waved his hand to signal the people on the steps to step back, then he stood in front of Mo Wen with a beautifully crafted box, bowed and handed it to him and said, I found this at the General’s Mansion after you left, Don't let me see you drop it again in this life.

Mo Wen was silent for a long time, then reached out to take it.

Seeing that he didn't tie the jade pendant around his waist, but put it in his arms, Xu Liwenyuan's face looked better. After a while, he added, the real back seal is already being carved, and it will be handed over to you in hand.

Xu Liwenyuan smiled, his eyes filled with starlight.He said that it is a general trend that the world will be united for a long time, and it is also a general trend to fight for Zheng Yujin and coerce Qi to deter Qin. You are the only variable, so you should hold it firmly in your hands.

Mo Wen smiled lightly, he really wanted to say that if one day I took off my armor and could still hear such words, I would be really happy.

The sun was sinking from the west, and half the sky was red.The good scene accompanied by sweet words made Mo Wen hesitate, and it was this moment of hesitation that prevented him from hearing what he wanted to hear.

The people who heard the news about Li Nan hurried over from the wind, and they were standing behind the porch watching them from a distance. Hearing such a sentence, he stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar child, not knowing what to do.

Xu Li Wenyuan turned around when he heard the voice, lowered his head, and called softly, Queen Mother.

"This... is Chu Zi's explanation to the world and to the Ai family?" The woman in brocade clothes suddenly darkened her face, and closed her eyes forcefully.

Xu Liwenyuan held Mo Wen and stood there without taking a step away. He said, as long as I am in power, if there is anyone in the back seat of Chu Palace, it must be him.

"The Ai family knows." She turned around and walked down the steps, stepping gracefully, but it was like a mountain was pressing on her shoulders.

"Why bother." Mo Wen looked at him silently, without the expected surprise or resistance.

Xu Liwenyuan smiled and asked, if one day Mingrong sat on the throne, would he keep me by his side as firmly as I am today?

Don't ask questions, because the word "if" is false.

The sun has sunk completely without knowing it, leaving the sky full of red clouds.

Standing on the high royal city, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme told Mo Wen that people are always accustomed to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, trying to keep themselves in a relatively safe place.You are not exempt, and I do not blame you.But I hope you know that in order to keep you by my side, I will do whatever it takes, even if you never take it seriously, never express your intentions, even if you wear a hat on your head.

Mo Wen stood half a step behind Xu Liwenyuan, looking at him quietly, his eyes were gray, like fog.

If he could go on like this forever without saying anything, Mo Wen would keep those secrets completely hidden, but sometimes he just didn't need to say anything.

The young Chu Zi has lofty aspirations, but there are always tigers standing in his way.Before seeing the stars, the cold wind blew for a while and sneezed twice.

Mo Wen smiled helplessly while putting the cloak on him, and then led him back to Chengqing Palace.

The candlelight in the main hall wafts long and fragrant, making people drowsy for no reason.Xu Liwenyuan struggled for a while and was successfully defeated by sleepiness.

Outside the window, under the long steps, the people in Changle Palace have been waiting for a long time.

Mo Wen was led all the way through Hanyuan Hall, Yongan Palace, Weiyang Palace, and then through a common corridor before arriving at the gate of Changle Palace.

Pushing open the door and entering, sitting on the front seat is the empress dowager, who is not less elegant and dignified, and on both sides are Mo Wen's colleagues, who are also people who wholeheartedly oppose making him a queen and are willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

Mo Wen walked forward slowly, his eyes gliding over the faces of everyone on both sides, for no reason, he suddenly felt sad.

More than [-] years ago, in the winter when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, in the Hanyuan Hall, it was the same scene.At that time, Mo Wen was four years old, a soft and glutinous dumpling, led by the nanny into a group of serious and indifferent adults.

He looked at his superior father in a daze, but the man didn't look at him, so he could only look around to get out of this terrible atmosphere.His mother and concubine were favored, and he never had to obey the rules in the Chu Palace, but that day, A Weng, who was always kind, rushed up and held him down when he was about to get up, and told him, little son, kneel down.

He really didn't understand, didn't know what happened, and subconsciously began to look around.

In the crowd, someone said sharply, there is a mother and concubine who is having an affair with others, no wonder this brat doesn't understand the rules.

Mo Wen thought ignorantly: Are you talking about me?

He subconsciously wanted to turn around, but was grabbed by the guards and pressed back to the original place.

His father, who always doted on him, sat on the top seat with a blank expression, gathered his clothes, and said, let's send him to the frontier.

On weekdays, all relatives and nobles were present, but no one spoke up for him.In front of Mo Wen was the most blazing stove in the entire Chu Kingdom, but he felt cold all over his body.

Later, he was the one who watched with his own eyes the mother and concubine who favored the harem being imprisoned in the cold palace.The proud woman set fire to Luoyun Palace and killed herself with a man's saber in the raging fire.

Then later, and later, he was dispatched to the frontier, and there were 20 years of painstaking efforts to go through life and death.

The whole room was waiting for Mo Wen to speak, but he was stupefied, and then he heard the higher-ups say, the person in front of you is the younger brother of the Ai family, the seventh son of the holy ancestor, Xu Liyuhan, the Prince of Anding.The purpose of calling everyone here today is to let you know, and let the people of Dachu know that the decision of the holy ancestor was correct, and his child is now a general of the three armies.

After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell on Mo Wen. She said, "Conferred the title of king, returned to the genealogy, is the general willing?"

It is said to let the courtiers know King Anding, but King Anding is just a status that has been convicted of a felony, and now mentioning it is only harmful to Mo Wen.Besides, everyone sees each other every day, so they need to get to know each other.What is really needed is to use the appearance of these people to tell Mo Wen that no one can act against morality. If you insist on going your own way, everyone present here today will become your enemy, making it impossible for you to guard against every step from now on.

Mo Wen remained silent, standing motionless in the center of the hall, until all the officials were dismissed before shouting, Mrs. Wang.

"Aijia never thought that you would come back alive."

"God have mercy on me."

"The Ai family knows that now Chenfeng wants to make you his queen no matter what, but do you know that he ignored the law and imprisoned half of the Yushitai officials for you, and took the wife and daughter of Dr. Yushi hostage."

The woman was a little excited, the Buddhist beads were about to be crushed in her hands, and the emerald beads on the top of her hair also shook.

Mo Wen hesitated, then lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, Sister-in-law Wang, I still remember, I remember the girl who hugged me with a gentle smile on her face when Brother Wang brought a newcomer to visit his mother and concubine during his wedding.Nowadays, when walking on Chang'an Avenue and finding that there is no familiar shop, I always feel a little dazed.Unexpectedly, it has been more than 20 years in a blink of an eye, and I have been away from Beijing for so long.

"Xu Li's family owes you everything, every step of the way. If you really need an apology, come to Aijia. If you need a head to hang a sacrifice, use Aijia. Just beg you, stay away from Chenfeng, don't be so destroy him."

The two kept talking to themselves, but they knew exactly what the other was trying to express.

Mo Wen was a little tired, slightly lowered his head to look at the ground, and asked, do I have a choice?

Xu Li Wenyuan got up early the next morning and came out of the hall, just in time to see Mo Wen standing with his mother and queen.He walked forward quickly, trying to pull Mo Wen behind him and ask, did the queen mother make things difficult for you?

But before he could reach Mo Wen, he was blocked.Standing between the two, the Queen Mother said coldly, "Chen Feng, this is Xu Li Yuhan, the seventh son of the Holy Patriarch, Anding King.You should be called Uncle Wang in both emotion and reason, and you can't go beyond the rules.

"Uncle Wang?" Xu Liwenyuan smiled, with an expression on his face that this joke was really clumsy.

As ridiculous as the joke was, he laughed as indulgently as he could, but everyone else was silent.

Soon, he restrained his expression and looked at Mo Wen, but Mo Wen turned his head and missed his sight.Xu Liwenyuan paused for a moment, then turned to Wu Jizhou and said, Ah Weng, you are an old man in the palace, and there is nothing in the palace that you don't know.When King Mingrong returned to Gonggu, he asked if such a powerful general had a background. You said you didn't know, you said...

Before he finished speaking, Wu Jizhou knelt down with a thud, put his forehead on the ground, and said word by word, the old slave confessed his crime and asked the king to punish him.

Chu Zi, who has always been determined to win, shrank his pupils, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth, you are right, why should you be punished.You said, did the queen mother threaten you?

He turned around madly and looked at Mo Wen and then at the maid and guard on duty, muttering to himself, did the queen mother threaten you, say it!
