General Chu

In the seventh year of Yongli, Chu State ushered in the second heyday in the history of the founding of the country, and the national power was prosperous and the people were rich.

The temperature was unusually high that year, and the spring grass had broken through the ground during the New Year.Every house is decorated with lanterns and festoons. Tianliang City is extremely lively, but this excitement has nothing to do with Xu Liwenyuan. He is in the deep palace, forced to cut himself off from other people's excitement, and repeats himself while drunk and awake.When he woke up from a hangover and realized that the person beside him was not his sweetheart, he was taken aback, and then walked to the bed with bare feet and crazily.

Wu Jizhou was outside the tent, he hurried over and nodded and asked, did your majesty suddenly think of something?

He disregarded getting down from the couch as if he wanted to see someone right away, the wind blew his voice quieter, and murmured, it was freezing, frosty, windy, snowy and rainy outside, I heard that Uncle Wang was ill again, I don’t know if he’s okay ?

He didn't wait for an answer, so he smiled to himself, how can it be bad if there is no interruption.

They haven't seen each other since he couldn't bear to cancel the edict to allow King Cheng to enter the palace every day. They only heard that the imperial physician had visited once not long ago. Other than that, they hadn't heard anything from the palace for half a month.

Knowing that the palace would occasionally send people to look for the imperial physician, Xu Liwenyuan went to the imperial hospital every day, and then the palace never sent anyone to the palace again, and completely cut off contact.

It was sunny on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the palace sent sedan chairs early in the morning to pick up the courtiers for the palace banquet.After the Lantern Festival comes the ritual of offering sacrifices to the heavens. Over the years, Chuzi has attached great importance to this, but no one has ever done it to such an extent.All the officials couldn't figure it out. Only Li Jinghua knew who these hundreds of palace sedan chairs were coming out of Zhengyang Gate to pick up.

At the palace banquet, the empress dowager's position was at the same level as the throne, and Mo Wen and Li Jinghua ranked first among the officials on the left and right.

Since entering the hall, the high-ranking people have been staring at Mo Wen without concealing it, even if other courtiers greet him, they don't care at all.The Empress Dowager looked back at him, not missing a single point of the emotion in his eyes.

Li Jinghua sat aside and watched helplessly as the woman in brocade clothes frowned and wrinkled deeper and deeper.

Mo Wen is on the cusp of the storm but seems to be ignorant of everything, just occasionally lifts his chopsticks to pick something into the plate in front of him.He didn't eat much, but he still couldn't help the pain in his chest and coughed lightly while covering his handkerchief from time to time.

If you look carefully, you can easily find a little blood on the handkerchief, but no one looks at it, no one cares.

That day, Chu Zi received all the officials into the palace with great fanfare, but canceled the lantern display after the banquet, and urged everyone to leave the palace after the banquet was over.Dudu left Cheng Wang behind.

There were only two people left in the bustling hall, and then it fell silent for an instant, and it seemed empty.

Mo Wen finally couldn't retreat, and calmly looked at the person in charge from a distance of a hundred steps.Both of them were silent for a while, not knowing what to say and where to start.

"Ming Rong, the food, grass and supplies are all ready, and we just need to wait for the troops to go north when the spring begins in March. The return of the Chu people to the Central Plains is just around the corner."

I still remember that when Mo Wen just returned to the city that year, the excuse Xu Li Wenyuan used to keep him around was that he wanted to bring the Chu people back to the Central Plains.Now everything is within reach, but he doesn't care much, he just feels tired.

"Mingrong." Xu Liwenyuan wanted to say something more to take the initiative back into his hands, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he had nothing to threaten Mo Wen, and he had done everything he should and should not have done.His heart ached, but he was still not reconciled.

He has never lost in half his life, and it is the same in love.

Xu Liwenyuan walked up to Mo Wen step by step from the high steps, and slowly stroked the face of the person in front of him with his palms, and said slowly, the lonely king wants to know, what do you care about is the blood on your body? Is half the same as me or is it the identity stability king Xu Liyuhan who was demoted back then?

"Your Majesty, these things are no longer important."

"These are not important, so what is important? Is Li Jinghua who comes and goes to your house every day important?"

Mo Wen looked at him, and Zude reached out and grabbed his wrist, pushing him to the table step by step.

At that moment, Xu Liwenyuan felt a sense of loss of control that he had not seen for a long time, as if he had returned to the spring many years ago when he confronted Mo Wen with all the officials and a heavy soldier in his hand.He struggled hard but found that the person in front of him didn't intend to let go at all.His back was crushed against the edge of the table as if it would break at any moment.

"Do you think I really won't be angry?"

"I'm just tired of your aloof and dignified attitude that you don't care about anything, so I provoke you again and again, but I didn't expect that your bottom line is Li Jinghua!"

Mo asked for a moment, his eyes darkened instantly, and in the next second, his elbow was on Xu Liwenyuan's throat.

In fact, such behavior is completely subconscious for a general, and he rarely shows his emotions out of control, but that doesn't mean he won't lose his mind.

The air in the chest decreased little by little, Xu Liwenyuan forgot to struggle, only felt that his ears were buzzing, and death was within reach.

I don't know when Mo Wen let him go, Ling Ran stood by his side and asked flatly, what on earth have I endured until now?

Xu Liwenyuan half-lyed by the table, clutching his throat and trying to cough but couldn't, looking at the man in front of him dejectedly, trying to find traces of just getting out of control from Mo Wen's face, just a little bit, but failed.He stood up with the edge of the table and said in a hoarse voice, if you are not him, he will not hurt me.

If it wasn't for Mo Wen standing beside him, his teeth would be crushed, it would really make people suspect that it was many years ago, and he was determined to kill him.

Mo Wen looked at him indifferently, and said, the one thing I regret the most is that I didn't directly attack the city when I returned to the city, but met you, so I never had the chance to attack again.

Mo Wen was not like this before, he was a child who was happier than anyone else, with joy, laughter and sorrow all on his face.Even after going through palace changes and family ruins, he was indifferent, never as indifferent as he is today.

Xu Liwenyuan was silent, and slowly walked out of the hall.

On the next morning, he issued an edict saying that Mo Wen ignored the law and deceived the emperor, and now cut off the general's post and fined him for five years.He took his hand and helped him to the top position, in exchange for him to confess his favor and take revenge and push his lover to a dead end step by step.

Wu Jizhou read every single word, and the hand holding the imperial decree couldn't stop shaking.He has been in the palace all these years, watching the innocent and ignorant girl enter the palace with his own eyes, watching her fall to the bottom of the valley at the most glorious moment and kill himself with a sword, he watched the innocent child because of He was sent to the frontier with anger, and watched him lead his troops back to the city step by step.In fact, the story should end here. This is a generous story. The people in the story love and hate honestly.

The mistake was that Mo Wen should not be so confident that he confronted the young Chu Zi in front of the Chonghua Hall.He was not wrong about the fact that no one in the court could stop the tiger from devouring the army. What was wrong was that he underestimated the beauty in Xu Liyi's handsome young eyes.

At that time, he took a look from a distance across the thousand stone steps, and his heart was moved by just that one look.

With a decree, the court was in an uproar.Although the officials didn't say anything, most of them were still happy. It wasn't because they had any deep hatred with Mo Wen that they wanted to step him into the mud several times, but because there was only one Chu Zi, and there was no room for another person who was capable and supported by the public. Often stand in the court.

As the news spread, the servants in the palace were the first to feel restless.The maid, who was usually trembling, obviously began to neglect.

Mo Wen saw it, sighed lowly, and said, you are always free in the palace, if you want to go, pack your things and leave, I will not stop you.

The girls twisted their handkerchiefs with their fingers without saying a word, but after Mo Wen turned and walked into the door, they hurried to pack their things.

Li Jinghua was coming in from the door at that time, and his expression sank instantly when he saw everyone carrying their luggage on their backs. He said coldly, whoever takes a step out of the door will die.

The old man guarding the gate heard the sound coming from a distance, and said in a low voice, why bother Mr. Li, the general's mansion was built on the ground seven years ago with an edict from the previous king, and it is an honor to be a servant in the mansion.Now that the building is about to collapse, it is common sense for them to flee for their lives.

"Is it that easy to betray him?"

The old man turned around and walked back to the yard, ignoring Li Jinghua with scarlet eyes.

Some people leave while others stay. If Mo Wen can keep the world peaceful by himself, he can keep the palace peaceful for a while.

In the backyard, Mo Wen was standing under a dead plum tree in a daze, when he saw Li Jinghua coming in, he subconsciously smiled and said, I haven't seen you argue with anyone yet, why are you as knowledgeable as a bunch of girls?

At that time, Li Jinghua really wanted to ask the person in front of him loudly, saying that you are leading the army, don't you know what kind of crime is betrayal?

Thinking this way in his heart doesn't mean he can really say that. Li Jinghua knows exactly what he is and what he can say and what he can't. No matter what, the palace is still the palace, why is it their turn to abandon you.

"Li Shaoqing, you have spent more time in Beijing than I do. You should be very clear that the best ending for the girls in the mansion is for the master to find a decent family to marry. I am powerless in this matter, and it will be a matter of time before they are released from the mansion. Son."

Li Jinghua had seen such things a lot, but he still couldn't help feeling sad, as if his chest was blocked by a stone.After a while, he asked, what if after you?

"If after me, he can enjoy a prosperous life for a long time, I will be in Yushitai, and I will be at ease." When Mo Wen met Xu Liwenyuan, it seemed that Mo Wen suddenly turned into an hourglass, and the sand had to leak out bit by bit. As time went by, the leakage became faster and faster, and until today, there is no hourglass to leak a relationship when it comes to an end.

When Li Jinghua left at dusk that day, he hesitated for a long time and refused to leave. After walking out of the mansion, he couldn't help turning his head, looked at Mo Wen and said with a complicated expression, if one day you are sentenced to death for defying the world, I will be the prison officer .And I don't want that to happen.

Mo Wen smiled lightly, and said that if it really came that day, he would be indebted to Li Shaoqing to take care of him.
