General Chu

In the early court, half of the seats for hundreds of officials were vacant, and the entire Xuanzheng Hall was empty.Xu Liwenyuan waved his hand and said, it's okay to retreat.

Passing by the Zichen Hall during the next court, Xu Liwenyuan stood on the tallest building in the entire Chu Kingdom, frowned inadvertently looking in the direction of Yushitai.In less than half a year, he somehow pushed himself to the current situation, looking up and seeing that there is nowhere around.The cliff is waiting for him to jump with open arms, as long as he jumps, his body will be smashed to pieces.

Li Jinghua, who had been ill for a long time, did not return to his residence immediately after he was released from prison. Instead, he wrapped himself in two layers of cloak and stood waiting for him in the early summer sunshine. At the root of the imperial court, there are too many cases of previous courts that harmed the entire country on a whim, and they must not act arbitrarily and put the entire Great Chu in danger by one person.

"The case of the previous dynasty? Are you saying that the lonely king is like Di Xin?"

Li Jinghua stood silently, with a thin layer of sweat on his face due to his long illness.

Xu Liwenyuan walked back to Chengqing Palace step by step along the high palace wall in a daze, and said hoarsely, the lonely king wanted to be Emperor Xin, but he was not Daji.

Li Jinghua was stunned on the spot, watching the person he had assisted for many years getting weaker and weaker, he couldn't say a word, but coughed heavily twice.

The official who was inexplicably arrested for attending a wedding banquet at Mowen stayed in Yushitai for three full days.Three days later, the resentment was only left with doubts, and all the officials came out of the prison disheveled and disheveled, with smiles on their faces, they took the silk and silver taels prepared by their masters as compensation.

There is no way, bad luck is like this, if you trip over a stone when you go out, you might fall to your death.

Su Yingmiao came out stretched, feeling relieved to see the sun again.Before the action was confiscated, he saw Wu Jizhou coming towards them head-on, and blurted out in a hurry, what is he going to do?

Wu Jizhou stood still not far from them, pointed to a horse and motioned to Mo Wen, General Mo, please.

Su Yingmiao grabbed Mo Wen who was going forward and said, he wants to kill you, what do you mean?Die generously?

Mo Wen looked back at him, smiled softly, and said, take care of the house for me, don't wait for me to come back and see that the whole house has been emptied and the tiger charms have also been in other people's hands.

When everyone was gone, the gate of Yushitai was closed with a bang, Su Yingmiao still stood there with a dazed look: Did he just smile?Ming Shuai actually laughed, did Ming Shuai laugh?

After entering the palace, Mo Wen was led all the way through countless palace gates and corridors, and finally stopped at the Chonghua Palace.Wu Jizhou respectfully handed over the palace key to him and said, General Mo, from now on the Hanyuan Palace will be named Mo.

Mo Wen looked at the fine copper and gilt key in his hand, and was stunned for a while, but didn't say anything.

The people in the Chengqing Hall sat on the couch and read a book by the candlelight, looked up at Wu Jizhou who had returned to his life, and said calmly, the lonely king knows.

He didn't say anything, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs received a decree saying that from now on all good things will be kept for the Hanyuan Hall, and even if the Hanyuan Hall is unoccupied, things must be kept for backup.

While lighting the lamps, there was suddenly a babbling singing sound from the Changle Palace not far away.Mo Wen leaned on the porch pillar and listened for a while, and from the vague residual sound, he was sure that it was "Battle of Peace".Although the tone is long and soft, what is sung in the song is the story of the country being ruined and the family dying rather than surrendering.

Mo Wen raised his hand in front of his eyes in a strange manner.Do you know how many people died under these hands?several thousand?Or tens of thousands?

He froze and walked back into the hall, leaning on the chair for some reason and fell asleep.

As the sky was getting darker, the evening drum in front of Zhengyang Gate rang three times.Mo Wen woke up from the dream, stared at the void for a long time with his eyes open, and only after listening carefully did he recognize someone knocking on the door outside the hall.

In an amazing effort, he fell asleep leaning on the couch.Sure enough, the singing and dancing are weak and wear down the will.

The maid came in to put down her things and then retreated quietly, but Mo Wen couldn't sleep anymore, and walked out of Hanyuan Hall following the dimly lit palace lanterns.

Looking at the entire territory of the Zhou Dynasty, the land of Chu can definitely be called remote.It is such a place where everything is lacking except water.Even the Taiye Pool built by Emperor Wen used running water.

The river lantern drifted away quietly with the undercurrent in the pond. Two court ladies passed by the pond each holding a lantern.

At the same time, a faint candle in the Chengqing Hall was always on, and Xu Liwenyuan sat and read, from dusk to late at night.Even though it was his Chu Palace, it seemed that the bustle had nothing to do with him.

Mo Wen glanced at it from a distance, then turned back and went north along the long corridor.When he passed Taiye Pond, he took a small path. Originally he wanted to visit Luoyun Palace, but he didn't want to be stopped by the maid.The bouncing girl in a green dress stood in front of him and said, no matter who you are, you can't pass here today!Don't ask, but the girl asked belatedly, eh?who are you?

"Don't ask."

The little girl thought about it for a while, and then said solemnly, she didn't know her.This is the king's bath, and no one can enter.

Mo Wen thought it was interesting and asked, can't you go in too?

"We only go in to clean up when the king is away." The little girl tilted her head and said.

Wu Jizhou came over and reprimanded in a low voice, this is General Mo.From now on, no matter where General Mo is going, you are not allowed to stop him.

"But inside is..."

"What do you know! Have you finished wiping the floor of Zichen Hall?"

"No……"

"Then go quickly!"

The little girl ran away with her skirt in hand, Wu Jizhou wiped the sweat from his brow, turned around and was about to explain something when he saw that Mo Wen had already opened the door and walked into the hall.

It wasn't until the door of the main hall was closed that Wu Jizhou suddenly remembered something. He ran in a panic to call for the guards. After taking two steps, he felt something was wrong and then ran in the opposite direction to call for the imperial doctor, but he still stopped after taking two steps. In the end, he stomped his feet on the spot and chose to let go.

Mo Wenxin walked in and looked at the scenery in front of him by the dim light of the palace lanterns in the corridor.From the outside of the hall, it is only known that this is a small side hall, which can only be regarded as ordinary in this majestic Chu Palace, but I did not expect that there is something special in the hall.

The Chu Palace was completed 200 years ago, and this side hall was built later.It was originally planned to build a palace for gods and Buddhas, but the craftsmen dug a pickaxe twice to dig out a spring, so there was this hot spring pool.

The floor is made of bluestone, stretching from the entrance of the main hall to the center of the hot spring, and a small bridge is built on it.Hot air rose from the feet, blurring his vision.

Mo Wen's lightness kung fu was at its peak, and his footsteps were naturally lighter and faster than ordinary people. It was only when he walked along the path to the other end of the main hall and was able to open the door to go out that he realized that there were people in the pool.

Xu Liwenyuan was thinking about something with his eyes closed, when suddenly there was a gust of breeze by his side, he became sober in an instant, and when he opened his eyes, it was Mo Wen's slightly startled gaze.

He casually grabbed a piece of clothing on the bank and wrapped it up, and hurriedly took two steps back in a panic, stepped on the ground, and slid into the hot spring pool.

Mo Wen watched him wrap himself up in a hurry, then fell into the water unexpectedly, struggled to stand still, and slipped in because of coughing.He paused for a moment, and finally fished out the man, holding the young man by his feet and darting to the shore.

Mo Wen looked down at the coughing man in front of him, only felt that he was small and soft, and his wet hair had the unique sulfur smell of hot springs.

The wind blew and lifted the broken hair on his forehead, Xu Liwenyuan raised his head and looked into his eyes.

Even though there are thousands of miles of fragrance and lights outside, Mo Wen looked down at him at this moment.

The young man froze for a moment, extremely sad.

Although he understands that there will always be thousands of rivers and mountains between the two of them, but there is always a secret desire in his heart, and he feels that it is better to take this step in front of him, even if they fall apart in the future.

So the young man stared at Mo Wen without avoiding it, and said in a hoarse voice, Mo Qing, as long as you stay with the lonely king, I don't have to ask you if you have someone else in your heart.

Xu Liwenyuan was drenched all over, his face was blushing, two layers of white gauze were tightly attached to his body, and the color of his skin was faintly visible.He was soaked back and forth in the water, embarrassed and embarrassed, but Mo Wen was standing beside him, wearing a neat blue shirt.

Steam was steaming in the hot spring pool, and even the temperature on the shore remained high.The boy paused, nodded, bit the belt on Mo Wen's chest, and gently pulled it away.

The robe was unbuttoned and hung loosely on his shoulders.Mo Wen stood motionless on the spot, not knowing how to react for a while, but felt that the body temperature of the person in front of him was very high, and the heat was faintly transmitted along the hand he was holding on Xu Liwenyuan.

The moon hangs in the sky outside the window, and the melody of music and singing in Changle Palace is not as good as the beautiful spring scenery in this corner of the palace.

Wu Jizhou was outside the door, listening to the sound of spring water rising and falling, his whole heart was twisted into a ball.Not long after, the whole space became silent, and the palace lantern in front of the hall suddenly flickered, and then returned to its original state after a while, emitting a faint light to illuminate the long night.

He stayed in front of the hall for a whole night, and then he couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.When the morning bell rang the next morning, he rubbed his eyes belatedly and went up to knock on the door, tentatively saying, Your Majesty, it's time to go up.

It was Mo Wen who opened the door, and the legendary murderous general took a look at him and walked straight over.The young Chu Zi was already unconscious in his arms.It's okay to be unconscious, but the most important thing is that the clothes are disheveled, the outer robe is twisted and crooked, and there is another layer of tulle covering the body.

Wu Jizhou froze for a second, rushed up to stop him, and asked, what happened to the king?

Mo Wen still had no expression on his face, looked down at the person in his arms, and then said, notify the Imperial Academy to draw up an order, not to go to the morning court today.

Wu Jizhou nodded belatedly, and after nodding, he stood still on the spot for a long time, at a loss for what to do.He is an old man in the palace, and he has been serving Chu Zi since he was a teenager. Chu Zi has changed his position no matter how many times he has changed over the years. It can be seen that this person is not as naive as he appears on the surface.

It's just that today's facts are extraordinary, and it's useless for him to be well-informed.
