When the yellow leaves fall, the weather gradually cools down, the geese fly south, the sky is clear and high, and the mountains and forests seem to be stained with frost, bringing a bleak taste.

After the Double Ninth Festival, Prince Lu Chengning set off to return to Beijing by order.

The prince's guard of honor set off from Huaizhou, passed through Huizhou, Cangzhou, Chuzhou, and finally arrived in Yongjing.Every time they pass by, people will spontaneously join the road to see him off, praising the prince's righteousness, his virtues, punishing traitors, and appointing talents, which will surely make the mountains, seas, and rivers of the Yongjiang River clear, and the times and years prosperous.

On the car, Gu Mingheng listened to the voice outside the car calling "Prince Qiansui", with a smile on his lips, and thousands of brilliance in his eyes.He held Lu Chengning's hand in one hand, and his tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement, "A'Ning, listen, this is their gratitude to you, recognizing and expressing their respect." At this time, he lost the stability and composure of a nobleman , as if the people were calling his name.

Seeing his excited look, Lu Chengning slowly raised the corners of his lips.Stretching out a hand to caress his cheek, rubbing the warm pulp of his thumb against the delicate white porcelain skin, he said in a slow voice, "Well, I heard it." As if infected by him, the words also carried smile.

His eyes are almost healed except for a little blurring at night.So this time He Weng did not follow the two back to Beijing, but stayed in the iron mine of Yingwei Mountain.

Gu Mingheng didn't force it either, but left ten leading soldiers to protect his safety.Crane Weng was very happy that someone helped him to carry the bamboo basket containing medicinal herbs, and he also promised that Gu Mingheng would make iron objects that surprised him.

There was a bit of silence in the car, "Is Ah Ning unhappy?" Gu Mingheng asked with some doubts.Subconsciously rubbing Lu Chengning's fingers on his face, he is now used to physical contact between the two, and there are only two people in the car at this time, and there is no unnatural expression on his face.

"No, I'm very happy." Lu Chengning shook his head with a smile on his face.Smoothing the center of Gu Mingheng's brows with his fingertips, he said softly, "Ah Heng, don't frown." He looked at Gu Mingheng's young age and weak crown, there were already shallow creases between his brows, and he felt sore for a moment.

"All these years, Ah Heng has shielded me from the wind and rain, kept me awake at night, and made me restless..." As if it was hard to say anything, he looked deeply at Gu Mingheng's clear eyebrows, and pulled the corners of his mouth "It won't happen in the future." As he spoke, he put his arms around Gu Mingheng's shoulders, and pulled him into his arms.

I would like to spend all the remaining time, using my own bones and flesh and blood, to cast a wall of iron and copper for you to protect you.

What do you expect from the same acupoint, his fate will be more difficult.But will keep his eyes open all night long, and repay his life without raising his eyebrows.

Yong Jing.

At the beginning of Sishi (9-11), hundreds of officials had already put on court clothes and waited in front of Hanyuan Hall. This day was the day when the crown prince returned to Beijing. Today, Xianshi has made it clear in the court hall that he will lead all officials to meet at Danfeng Gate. .

Such an obvious attitude caused the officials who were still hesitant to fall to the East Palace one after another—it seems that this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, the crown prince's move really won the emperor's heart.Sangong is also on the list, although his face is awe-inspiring, he is very embarrassed in his heart.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the prince's trip is to take advantage of their influence.

The waiting time was long and boring, and the majestic Hanyuan Hall made their figures smaller and smaller.Xie Xingzhi and Gu Jiyan stood at the front of the line, with their hands in their sleeves and they didn't speak.

After Xie Xingzhi had looked towards him several times, Gu Jiyan slowly raised his head, looked at Prime Minister Xie who was over forty but still handsome and handsome, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Prime Minister Xie?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the officials beside him turned their ears to listen to the conversation between the two.Now the forces in the court are constantly dividing and changing.The originally powerful Xu family and the three princes fell one after another following the abolition of the queen, the resignation of Xu Guolao, and the incidents of Huihuai two states, while the aristocratic Gu family in Puyang and the Xie family in Jiangnan gradually occupied the first place, and the Gu family was behind the princess family, and the Xie family has already had the tendency of two generations of emperor's close ministers.

Xie Xingzhi smiled when he heard the words, and shook his head lightly, "It's all right, I'm just thinking that Ah Hong will return to Beijing with His Highness, and I'm a little happy." He leaned towards Gu Jiyan as he spoke, his voice suppressed Very low, "Your Young Master is about to return to Beijing, isn't Prime Minister Gu happy?"

Gu Jiyan took a look at Xie Xingzhi, and then said with a serious face, "Since my Gu family child married into the royal family, she is no longer my Gu family."

Xie Xingzhi paused when he heard the words, stood up straight, and looked at Gu Jiyan with a complex expression, "You can't say that." He sighed, and didn't speak again.

Looking at the white marble steps, Gu Jiyan thought of everything that Wang An said in his letter, and felt chills in his heart——Ah Hong, the day the truth is revealed, you are destined to be an abandoned child.

At three o'clock, I wear the twelve-pronged crown of Xuanbiao and Zhuli, wearing twelve chapters of the crown, with the sun, moon and dragon on the shoulders, the stars, mountains on the back, fire, Chinese insects, and Zongyi on the sleeves. Luanjia led all the officials to Danfengmen.The canopy is majestic, and the guard of honor is mighty, advancing slowly on the flat and wide white jade road.The king holding the golden gong is in front, and the guards of Luan Yi stand on both sides to show the majesty of the heavenly family.

Lu Zezhang boarded the tower and looked from a distance, and he could see the people on both sides of Danfeng Avenue.He stood with his hands behind his back, and the jade ring on his crown was floating by the mighty wind, no one could clearly see the expression on his brows and eyes at this time.

The early winter wind looks dry and cold, blowing densely on the face.He suddenly recalled that at his enthronement ceremony, he was wearing a heavy dragon robe for the first time and stood on the tower of Suzaku Gate to be worshiped by all the people. When the sky was blue, I finally began to understand the profound background behind the always unpredictable expression of the Lu family, and began to understand the absolute power that makes the world go forward, and would rather give up their lives and family affections to seize it.

Power, this is the eternal theme in his life, is the lingering pursuit hidden in the noble blood of the Lu family.He also suddenly understood that when he led the army to the palace, before the emperor died, he stared at his helpless eyes full of compassion and deepness, as well as the contradictory expressions of solemnity and relief on his face.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince's guard of honor has entered the capital." Jiang Yu waved back the palace attendant who came to report the news, walked three steps behind Lu Zezhang with a bow, and said in a respectful voice.He stared at the ancient stone brick pattern under his feet, expressionless.

After being silent for a long time, I heard Lu Zezhang's voice with complicated emotions, without joy, "My prince is back." After he finished speaking, he sighed, and it spread slowly with the high wind, leaving no traces.

Palace attendants kept coming to report the itinerary of the crown prince's ceremonial guard. When the bright yellow dragon flag could be seen on the tower of Danfengmen, Lu Zezhang suddenly changed his mood and laughed loudly. !” Said, strode down the tower.

Lu Chengning rode at the front on a black horse. He was wearing a black uniform with nine tattoos on it, and his black hair was tied high with a jade crown.As he approached the Danfeng Gate, he pulled the reins, and the steed under his seat stopped immediately, neighing slightly.

Lu Chengning got off the horse very neatly, the black clothes drew a graceful arc in the air, and then fell down low, calm and introverted.He looked directly at Lu Zezhang, who was standing at the head of all the officials, his eyes were quiet, his brows were clear, and he stood tall without any tiredness from trekking through mountains and rivers.

In him, the ignorance of the past has disappeared, and more, it is the majesty and unpredictability that a king must have.

Everyone in the world seemed to have lost their voices because of his arrival. Thousands of people looked at the man in black uniform beside the black horse, and they lost their minds—this is the prince of Dayong, their future monarch .

"See the prince!" As all the courtiers knelt down and shouted, the people on both sides of Suzaku Avenue seemed to come to their senses, and fell to the ground one after another, shouting thousand years old.

Lu Chengning stared at the common people prostrate on the ground, and suddenly understood what A-Heng had said to him, that the golden dragon robe was the most supreme prison in the world, binding him to this land, for the sake of the country and the people, he could not break free again.

"My son, please see my father!" Lu Chengning knelt down on one knee, the hem of his black clothes spread out like a blooming ink lotus.His voice was steady and powerful, "God is blessed, fortunately not disgraceful!" His face was blocked by his wide sleeves, and the dark lines of flowing clouds on them were like water waves, which were dazzlingly bright under the slightly dark sky. .

The sound echoed on the wide avenue and spread far away.

"Stay flat." Lu Zezhang looked at Lu Chengning with a serious face and said in a deep voice.But I think of the indifferent and lonely young man in my memory, Kasyapa, our Chengning has been growing into an excellent prince, a wise emperor, are you happy?

When he returned to the East Palace, Gu Mingheng felt exhausted all over his body, so he went to see Mr. Zheng first, and after only a few words, Mr. Zheng drove him back to the dormitory to change clothes and rest.

Ayu took off the heavy dress on him, and put on a light, frost-colored dark coat.When Fang entered the palace, Lu Chengning followed Jin to the Imperial Study Room, probably to discuss matters related to the trip to Huaihui and Huizhou, so Gu Mingheng went back to the East Palace alone.

"Do you remember that you mentioned in your letter that Ning Wuyi had already arrived in the capital?" Gu Mingheng put down the teacup in his hand, and felt relieved, only feeling that the fatigue on his body had dissipated a lot.I really don't know how Lu Chengning managed to maintain such an astonishing demeanor in front of all the ministers after driving for nearly a month.

"Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning is currently living in a separate courtyard in the capital, and he promised to wait for you to return to the capital." The breath between A Yu's brows is now more similar to that of Ah Zheng, the trance of his youth has faded away, and he is more calm and solemn .

Looking at A Yu like this, Gu Mingheng suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.Although growing up is an integral part, he would rather all those close to him be safe and secure under his wings.

It's just that he and Lu Chengning are in such a huge vortex, and they will more or less implicate the people around them. It's hard to realize such a dream.

"Well, after a few days I'm done with the affairs of the palace, so I'll go out of the palace." He thought for a while before making a decision.After looking for Ning Wuyi for so many years, it is impossible to say that there is no expectation in my heart.

At this time, Jiang Bai's voice came from outside the door, Gu Mingheng nodded towards A Yu, and saw A Yu bypassing the screen and going outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Gu Mingheng looked at Jiang Bai who was kneeling on the ground, his tone showed no emotion.

"Just now a palace attendant found this servant, and I hope this servant can tell the Crown Princess that the Empress Dowager wants to see you this evening." Jiang Bai said in a low voice, "This servant dare not make any claims, so I hurried to ask for instructions."

Gu Mingheng paused casually for the hand holding the teacup, his eyes fixed on the clear tea in the cup, and then slowly said, "Tell that person, I will go."
