All rivers and mountains are safe

"When you asked me earlier, I said that I don't like children. It was against my will. At that time in Yizhou, Lin Cheng was clamoring for you to hug, making you feel uncomfortable even eating, but I thought about it more than once. , when will we have a child of our own." Lu Ciheng restrained and forbearance kissed the side of his neck, and his voice was clear and peaceful when he spoke, "But Ming An, I treat you well, not because I have a child, nor because Anything else, just because I like you."

The delicate kisses fell, and the air flowed past the ears, Shen Mingan's heart beat very fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and he murmured, "Why...why do you like me?"

His liking for Shen Ming'an was accumulated bit by bit.

Shen Ming'an remembered every birthday and hobby of his, and he would tirelessly teach him to read and write in the middle of the summer night, and he would also teach him reason when he made mistakes.

Perhaps earlier, since Shen Mingan took him by the hand and brought him out of the cold palace, and gave him the same opportunity as others to study in the Imperial College, he was destined to like him.

If it wasn't for Shen Ming'an, maybe he is still in the dark palace now.

When Lu Ciheng was young, he was always impatient to listen to him explain those great truths. Later, when he really encountered something difficult to solve, he realized that Shen Mingan was teaching him without reservation. Since he was young, every unforgettable thing Everything is related to Shen Mingan.

He thought he had forgotten all these little things, but when he told Shen Mingan about these things, he realized that he remembered every detail of that time, including Shen Mingan's expression, reaction, every word and action at that time.

He remembered his mood every time he saw Shen Mingan, from respect at the beginning, to liking later, gradually evolved into the kind of possessive desire to take him as his own.

He studied and practiced calligraphy seriously to make Shen Mingan happy, and wanted to make Shen Mingan pay more attention to him. Later, he misunderstood Shen Mingan and did all kinds of wrong things to him, all because he wanted Shen Mingan to treat him like before. Based on the fact that he likes Shen Mingan, it's just that he used the wrong method.

After hearing him finish speaking, Shen Mingan took a deep breath, and said in an uneasy muffled voice: "But as you said, I'm rigid and boring."

"When did I tell you..."

Lu Ciheng stopped suddenly, he said it, and said it more than once.

It turned out that Shen Mingan's health was not so bad, it was after Lu Ciheng came back from the northwest that he always fucked him without any scruples, and his health started to deteriorate.

Once he put jade beads on Shen Mingan's collarbone, threatening him not to drop them, and stuff them in if they fell, and stuff as many as they fell.Shen Mingan was knocked to the point of collapse by him, and he still tried hard to stabilize his body.

At that time, Shen Mingan was fucked so hard by him that he couldn't get over it for several days. Lu Ciheng felt sorry for him and felt a little regretful, but before letting go of him, he insisted that Shen Mingan didn't enjoy fucking. Nope, rigid and uninteresting.

He said it casually, but Shen Mingan kept it in mind.

"I'm sorry, Ming An, I was talking nonsense..." Lu Ciheng had never felt so remorseful for a moment, he apologized to Shen Mingan, but he couldn't express his words, "I've never felt this way before, I like you from the beginning to the end. "

"I came back from the northwest and stood at the gate of Huaxing Hall. I heard you and Lu Chengjing praise Lu Qingshi, but said that I have bad character and unstable temperament." Lu Ciheng looked at him, "Ming An, do you really think that I Isn't that bad?"

"No." Shen Mingan lost his mind for a moment, before thinking about it, he said: "But if I hadn't said that at the time, it would have only made the late emperor more suspicious of you..."

He lowered his gaze, paused and said, "You're fine, it's me."

Lu Ciheng had already expected this to be the case, but hearing Shen Mingan tell him this personally, he felt his heart burning, and an indescribable joy lingered in his heart.

Shen Ming'an only told Lu Qingshi about Lu Wenhuai's drowning that year after meeting him. Lu Ciheng asked him tentatively, "Did Lu Wenhuai be pushed down by Lu Qingshi?"

"...How do you know?" Shen Mingan lowered his eyes, covering his eyes, "Lu Qingshi had an argument with him, and pushed him down by mistake, and then the water was too deep, Lu Qingshi couldn't swim, So I dare not save him."

"I guessed it." Lu Ciheng said: "When you fished Lu Wenhuai out of the lake, Lu Qingshi was so scared that he shrank there like a quail."

"Lu Qingzhi didn't dare to save him, so he distorted the facts, saying that Lu Wenhuai jumped down because what you said to Lu Wenhuai made him think twice, why?" Lu Ciheng lowered his face, "It's just such a bastard, Is it worth your effort to teach and assist him for so many years?"

Realizing that his tone was not very good, Lu Ciheng slowed down his voice and asked him, "Ming'an, why do you always favor Lu Qingshi, and the old thing too, he has ignored the government these few years and only thought about Immortal, even doing such things as blood sacrifices, isn’t he doing enough absurd things, such a person, why would you be willing to assist him?”

Shen Mingan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Lu Ciheng, and said softly: "The late emperor treated me... with the kindness of knowing you."

During those years when Shen Ming'an was in Jihua Temple, because Wang Xingyan was always looking for him, he rarely went out of the temple. He was young and lived in the temple to study, so he could only rely on the abbot's support.

The imperial examination is the goal of all scholars in the world, and it is also his only way out.

At that time, the article of the Imperial Examination Palace Examination was about the land distribution system, and Shen Mingan wrote more than 20 pages eloquently.

The articles he wrote are novel and unique, and the system is unconventional and unique, breaking the inherent model of the land division system, and standing out from the crowd of articles.

When Lu Chengjing was young, he had lofty aspirations and cherished talents. When he saw Shen Ming'an's article, his eyes lit up. He immediately called him to the palace and asked him how to implement the system he wrote, and how to solve the problems encountered in actual implementation.

Shen Mingan was not yet crowned at the time, and he was also at an age where he was not afraid of anything. He only felt that ten years was a cold window, and he only wanted to display his ambitions for the present. He explained to Lu Chengjing one by one in the hall, and argued with him when there were differences.

The smile on Lu Chengjing's mouth gradually widened, the more he listened, the more he felt that Shen Ming'an was a rare talent.

Lu Chengjing immediately appointed Shen Ming'an as the number one scholar in the hall, and said with a hearty smile: "I want to create a prosperous world, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. There are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and there are herds of cattle and horses. They will no longer be starving for food and clothing. And worried. Shen Aiqing, you come to assist me."

Shen Mingan agreed, and this agreement lasted for more than ten years. During these ten years, he devoted himself to assisting Lu Chengjing and teaching the crown prince.

Lu Ciheng had asked him more than once before why he preferred Lu Qingshi.

Just because Lu Qingshi was the crown prince chosen by Lu Chengjing, he always regarded Lu Qingshi as the future prince. If Lu Chengjing appointed Lu Ciheng, Shen Ming'an would do his best to teach him how to govern the country.

Lu Ciheng is obviously more suitable than Lu Qingshi to be a king, but he has always been disliked by Lu Chengjing. On the one hand, Shen Mingan feels it is a pity, but on the other hand, he feels that Lu Ciheng, as a prince, stays away from the vortex of power and goes to the fiefdom to be an idler in peace. Prince, it may not be better than being an emperor.

"I used to think that orthodoxness was the most important thing, so I only wanted to let Lu Qingshi sit firmly in the position of the crown prince, but now I don't think so." Shen Mingan slightly raised his head, looked into Lu Ciheng's eyes, and stroked his fingertips. He rubbed his face lightly, "The superior should be taken by a virtuous person. Create a prosperous world and make the people live in peace. What the previous emperor failed to do, you will definitely be able to do."

Lu Ciheng's heart was beating like a drum, just like when he encountered something when he was young and went to Shen Mingan, Shen Mingan could always put him at ease with a word, he raised his eyes and said seriously: "I will definitely be able to do better than Lu Chengjing , Ming An, do you trust me?"

"I believe you."

Shen Mingan's expression was gentle, with encouragement and some friendship in his eyes that Lu Ciheng didn't dare to confirm.
