after being kidnapped by the general

The next day, the emperor found Yuanli and excitedly proposed to give him the Zen seat.

"..." Yuan Li was also caught off guard.

Even though Yuanli had already guessed, he never thought it would be so soon.

Seeing Tian Zi's active and excited appearance, Yuan Li was a little speechless.

He naturally kept declining, but the more he declined, the more persistent the emperor was, wishing he could abdicate to Yuanli immediately.

Abdication is a must, but not now.It has come to the last step, Yuanli must hold his breath, he must make sure that everything is safe, and after making all preparations, he will prepare the Zen seat with the emperor.

Yuanli sent Kong Ran to stay to rectify the Yangzhou navy, ordered He Lang to lead [-] soldiers to station in Yangzhou, and asked Zhou Gongdan to temporarily act as the governor of Yangzhou to stay and govern Yangzhou.

After the courtiers got used to their new positions, Yuanli was ready to set off back to Youzhou.

Before setting off, Yuanli felt that it was a pity that he had finally come to the south and didn't appreciate the ancient coastal customs, so he waved his hand and took his boyfriend and his subordinates to the beach to catch up with the sea team building.

The big guy suddenly went crazy with joy.

When Yuan Li said that he was going to catch the sea, everyone was extremely excited, and some people came running with fishing nets, pots and bowls.

Chu Hechao also found a hemp rope and tied it around his and Yuanli's waists.

Yuan Li shook the hemp rope, curious: "What are you doing with this?"

Chu Hechao bent over, and quickly tied a knot, "Look at you, you're skinny now, I'm afraid I'll take you away when a wave hits you."

Yuan Li said "Oh", and looked down at his cold jawline, "Then you are not afraid of being swept away by the waves with me?"

Chu He was overjoyed, and grinned, "What waves can roll with me?"

Yuan Li retorted: "If the waves roll up, the house can be swept away."

The corner of Chu Hechao's mouth twitched, and he was about to leave by pulling the hemp rope on Yuanli's waist, "Okay, according to what you said, we don't have to play today."

Yuan Li hurriedly pulled the rope, anxious, "But today is calm, there will never be such a big wave!"

Only then did Chu Hechao stop his hands, snorted and said with a smile: "Do you still dare to argue with your brother Qing?"

Yuan Li trembled, "I have goosebumps."

Chu Hechao smiled, "Then press it down. If you really can't get it off, brother, I'll kiss you down."

Yuanli surrendered.

Everyone played their own way, and no one disturbed Yuanli and Chu Hechao.The two of them were led by a thick rope, and they stepped leisurely on the sandy beach above the sea.

After walking a few steps, Yuanli stopped.Chu Hechao asked, "What's wrong?"

"The shoes are soaked," Yuan Li frowned, "the hem of the clothes is also dirty, I want to take off the shoes."

Chu Hechao sighed, and squatted on the ground to take off his shoes and rolled up his trouser legs and hem, "Yuanli, how will you live without me."

Yuan Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he originally wanted to do it himself, but seeing Chu Hechao's hard work and the appearance of "his own daughter-in-law pampers herself", he didn't say a word, and enjoyed the service of the general openly.

Walking barefoot on the sand feels very comfortable, the sea breeze lifts up the clothes of the people on the shore, and white clouds float by.

When Yuanli's calf was hit by the waves, the fine sand stuck to it.Chu Hechao looked at his legs, frowning tightly. He didn't like the sand and wanted to wipe it clean.

"Do you think there are prehistoric monsters in this sea?" Yuan Li had a sudden idea, standing on the shore and looking into the sea vigorously.

Chu Hechao glanced at his calf from the corner of his eye, and finally bent down and hit him twice, "What monster?"

"It's a water monster more than ten meters long, something like a dinosaur, a giant python, a giant crocodile, or a giant shark," Yuan Li became more and more excited as he spoke, and ran forward, "the current species must be more abundant than the future species, Ciye, do you think I can find a dinosaur fossil..."

Chu Hechao was bending over, and when Yuan Li started running, he forgot about the rope around his waist. He Chao fell into the sea together.

The two drank several sips of water unexpectedly, and when the waves receded, they fell into the sand in embarrassment like drowned rats.

Chu Hechao brushed away the hair on his face, grabbed the rope with his left hand, and pulled Yuan Li, who was lying dead not far away, to his side. : "Yuan Lejun, you are about to become the emperor, why are you still so naughty?"

Yuan Li spat out a mouthful of seawater, and said with a bitter face, "This water is so salty."

Chu Hechao was immediately happy. He glanced left and right, and quickly kissed Yuanli while no one was paying attention. He swept his tongue around Yuanli's mouth, smashed his mouth and said aftertaste: "It's really salty."

Yuanli's Adam's apple twitched, and he swallowed the saliva in his mouth, feeling salty again.He kicked Chu Hechao, "Go drink water and rinse your mouth."

"No," Chu Hechao roguely pressed on Yuanli's body, and when another wave came to cover them, he quickly kissed Yuanli again, "Let me satisfy my greed with a few kisses first."

The sea water that covered his head and face came and faded, Yuan Li didn't know whether his mouth smelled of sea water or Chu Hechao, he only knew that the more he kissed, the thirstier he became.Chu Hechao had already held down the back of his neck, and raised Yuan Li's head to kiss him more ferociously, and Yuan Li himself was a little emotional.

Against the backdrop of the sea sand, his wet face was as white as transparent jade, Yuan Li's eyes were dazed, and his lips were red from being bitten.

The waves beat against the legs, and the clothes rose one after another.People in the distance called them to eat, and the voice passed through the waves and came to Yuanli's ears indistinctly.

Chu Hechao suddenly put something on Yuan Li's hand.

Yuanli raised his hand and saw that it was a string of small round stones strung together into a bracelet.

These small round stones are only as big as fingernails, and the carvings are rough and irregularly rounded. It looks like it was made by a novice.The color is not as dry as ordinary stones, but has a warm texture.

What's rare is that although this string of bracelets is very rough, it has been polished extremely smoothly and is not scratchy at all.

Yuan Li touched the bracelet and smiled, "You made this?"

Chu Hechao pulled Yuan Li up, with a handsome face, looking at the sky and the earth but not at Yuan Li, "I was bored on the boat going to Jiaozhou, I made a gadget, you can wear it if you like."

After a pause, he coughed a few times and lowered his voice, "The Jade Bodhisattva you gave me back then lost somewhere when he ran for his life... Don't be angry."

Yuanli was amused.

Ever since he received the letter from Chu Hechao reporting his safety, he had carefully put away the Jade Guanyin.After seeing Chu Hechao, he forgot to take it out. Chu Hechao still doesn't know that Jade Guanyin is in his hands.

Yuanli was going to find a chance to give him Jade Guanyin again, and at this moment, he just wanted to take a good look at the stone bracelet on his hand.

After touching it fondly for a few times, Yuanli discovered a little secret, raised his head and said pleasantly, "There are words engraved on it."

Chu Hechao's face was hot, and even his ears were red.He hurriedly dragged Yuanli towards the crowd, and said impatiently: "You can watch it when there is no one there, don't watch it now!"

Yuan Li suppressed a smile, "Okay."

As he said so, Yuan Li quietly turned the round stone over and sneaked a look at the engraved words inside.Ten stones and ten words, these words gradually became a sentence.

[Le Jun, I will rush here for you. 】

This time back to Youzhou, Yuanli did not take the Bohai Sea back, but the inland river.

Everywhere he went, he would invite the emperor out, and order state and county officials to visit the emperor.

Under the influence of Guo Mao, the emperor thought that Yuanli's move was to make him secure the throne. He was so frightened that he would actively brag about Yuanli's achievements and belittle his own ability wherever he went. Meaning for Yuanli.

Yuan Li smiled wryly and shook his head all the way, saying that he could not bear the heavy responsibility.

They are okay, but the state and county officials along the way have been hit to a greater or lesser extent.

Some people who had already seen the situation in the world clearly and knew that the change of dynasty was unstoppable closed their mouths in silence.Some people who were loyal to the emperor and Northern Zhou thought that Yuanli had bewitched the emperor, but what could they do?

They can't and can't do anything.

The general trend of the world has returned to Yuanli, and they can only hope that Chu Hechao and Yuanli will have a rift due to profit.But the reality was contrary to what they imagined, Chu Hechao was willing to submit to Duke Wen, and did not earn the throne at all.

Facing the more than [-] troops led by Yuan Li, no one dared to say "no" to Yuan Li.

Even if some scavengers who are not afraid of life and death want to use their lives to maintain the status of the Northern Zhou royal family, they can't shake Yuanli at all.

The news that "the Son of Heaven intends to take the position of Wen Gong in Zen" quickly spread like fuel to the fire.

Among them, the promotion of Yuanli's subordinates is indispensable.

Compared with outsiders, Yuanli's subordinates were as excited as if they had been beaten.Thinking day and night, waiting anxiously for the return of the lord and the emperor, for Yuanli to ascend to the highest position.

More than anyone else, they want to promote Yuanli to the throne, and more than anyone else, they want to watch the birth of a new dynasty.Even for this purpose, they would not hesitate to lose their fortunes and their lives.

But the courtiers also have something to worry about—that is, they are not sure whether Yuanli wants to become emperor or not.

Liu Jixin, Xiang Hongyun and others thought that Yuanli was thinking about it, but they were not sure.Because Yuanli has never shown such ambition in front of them, and Yuanli's conduct is correct and benevolent, and he treats the emperor with all his heart.

Smart people always think too much, especially when it comes to such critical matters, Wen is headed by Liu Jixin, and Wu is headed by Wu Kai, they are worried about what will happen if Yuanli is unwilling to ascend the throne.

But they have come to this point. The enthronement is no longer a question of whether Yuanli alone wants to think about it, but everyone is pushing Yuanli forward. Even if Yuanli doesn't want to, they will take the initiative to put on a yellow robe for Yuanli , "forced" Yuanli to ascend the throne.

Therefore, after learning that Yuanli had won King Chen, the courtiers in Yuanli spontaneously started to build momentum.

They spread the news all over the country, and the Grain Institute also used it to the greatest extent, quietly controlling the pace of public opinion and leading the way, fabricating catchy doggerel and spreading it among the people, so that the common people knew about Yuanli's love for the people Arouse the greatest enthusiasm and expectation of the common people, thereby creating a situation where people all over the world seem to be enthusiastically looking forward to Yuanli's ascension to the throne.

Even if some wealthy landlords were dissatisfied with Yuanli being the emperor, and some aristocratic families wanted to strongly resist, they hesitated when they saw that everyone in the world seemed to be saying good things.

Those who oppose think that they are alone and helpless, and even begin to doubt their own decisions, and then become silent, not daring to openly and openly hostile to the people of the world.

Then, before Yuanli returned to Youzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou... All kinds of auspicious things about Yuanli began to bloom, one after another!

Either a white snake is present, or an ancient tree that naturally formed the word "Son of Heaven", or a huge tortoise... The most interesting thing is the snow disaster that Yuanli predicted in Youzhou in advance, and Yuanli's past. Predict the miraculous scene of heavy rain.

It is impossible for Yuanli not to know about such a big movement.But getting into the foundation was his goal, he didn't say anything, he just pretended he didn't know what his subordinates were doing.

That's good too, the subordinates did it for him, saving Yuanli from doing it himself.If it was Yuanli himself, he might not be able to shamelessly create auspicious signs for himself.

On this day, the fleet passed through Jingzhou.

Jingzhou Inspector Jiang Bing's face turned red, and there were many apologies behind him, and he personally waited on the shore with his subordinates and personal soldiers.

When the boats in Yuanli passed by, Jiang Yu immediately motioned everyone to kneel down to salute, while he bowed deeply and apologized to Duke Wen with a low posture—for murdering Yuanli's subordinates Xiang Hongyun and Wang Qianzhi, He even wanted to use them to show favor to King Chen.
