[Comprehensive] Retirement of the brave

Those who should be sentenced to prison should be sent to prison, those who should be ransacked their homes, and those who should be exterminated.Since Bai Zi's ascension to the throne, Lei Ting's method has been used to the extreme of cold face and ruthlessness.Don't listen to pleadings, don't listen to defenses, just look at the evidence.Almost half of the court was emptied in such a vigorous manner.

Three months later, the exhausted and restless members of the Shenhou Mansion finally ushered in their long-awaited holiday.

Zhui Ming was paralyzed on the chair in the flower hall. In the past, he would go to Goulan or other places during the holidays to watch the beauties drinking fine wine, but now he doesn't want to move a finger.Tieshou was not much better either, sitting aside with a dark face, without saying a word.

A few days ago, in order to track down King Taiping, Leng Xue drove for five days in a row, and he is still asleep in the room.Ruthless was overwhelmed by the work of sorting out the follow-up materials, and was too busy to be free.

Lord Zhuge was drinking tea with people in the inner courtyard, the fragrance of the tea was wafting, and his tired body seemed to relax a bit.

Zhuge Shenhou said: "The sky is changing really fast, but it's a bit difficult for my old bones."

Su Mengzhen smiled wryly and said: "Who says it's not? I thought that with my crippled body, that man could let go of one or two, but he didn't want to, alas..." This matter made people laugh and cry.He was in poor health and couldn't bear the fatigue, so he declined when the person asked.But I didn't expect that person to frown and say: "In other words, if your health is good, then there is no problem?"

Then he took various decoctions and pills for half a month, and he really healed his body.At the end, he said, "You have no reason to shirk this time, right?" Su Mengzhen, who was still in disbelief, suddenly fell into the reality that he was about to be too busy to touch the ground.

Marquis Zhuge stroked his beard and smiled, "Our Majesty has always been like this."

After a while of silence, Su Mengzhen suddenly said: "I'm just a little worried, the Supreme Emperor..."

"I have asked His Majesty about this matter. Your Majesty has discussed it with the Supreme Emperor, so it's okay." Zhuge Shenhou smiled like an old fox, and the scene of talking with His Majesty is still vivid in my memory.

He asked His Majesty, "I wonder what your Majesty's plan is for the future?"

His Majesty said: "After you finish what you want to do, then leave this position to the right person."

Everything is just as Bai planned. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has dealt with his redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses. Those who are capable will stay, and those who are incompetent will go. .

At the beginning, scholars whose interests were affected wrote satirical criticisms in groups, and sat in protest outside the Forbidden Palace. They gradually fell silent.

About a year later, the court hall had a completely new look.Bai changed his reign name to Chengyou.

With no redundant things, the national treasury was filled up all of a sudden, and Bai also had spare money to do other things.Creation is encouraged, and anyone who has researched how to make less labor-saving agricultural tools or other useful tools will be rewarded regardless of size.At the same time, the military affairs were strictly rectified and military training was greatly promoted.

In the second year of Chengyou, Bai Qibing attacked Xixia and returned with a big victory.

In the third year of Chengyou, Liao attacked Song Dynasty on the grounds that Song had defaulted on the annual tribute.Bai took Su Mengzhen as his general, entrusted Zhuge Shenhou to manage the government temporarily, and took charge of the expedition himself.Inspired by this, people in the rivers and lakes rushed to the front line with enthusiasm.Lu Xiaofeng, Li Xunhuan and others were also among them.

Chengyou's four-year, fourteen-month war ended with the victory of the Northern Song Dynasty.Until the sixth year of Chengyou, Bai rested and recuperated, and the Northern Song Dynasty became more and more prosperous.

In the seventh year of Chengyou, Bai Qibing launched a war against the Kingdom of Jin and took back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in one fell swoop.At one time, the whole country celebrated with joy, some literati shouted and wrote poems, and some looked like crazy, crying and laughing.Military generals are more with old comrades-in-arms, reminiscing about the past, and getting drunk.The merchants gave up their profits one after another to show their joy.The court and the public in the Northern Song Dynasty were all immersed in joy.

In the next few years, the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty became larger and larger, reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty.

At night, sitting alone in the imperial study, Bai's complexion was not very good.

He has sensed his loss of control.The combination of insatiable desire and fearless temper is like a huge beast that chooses to eat.He used reason as a cage, but now the beast has grown too large, and the door of the cage has loosened.

Bai knew it, and Zhuge Shenhou also found out.Because he looked at him with growing worry.

Maybe it's time.

A gust of wind blew in through the half-opened window, lifting the bed curtain.

Bai said: "I always felt that I was waiting for someone, and now it seems that it should be you."

I wasted some time in the last world, but when I arrived here, I found that the white had turned out to be the emperor's black, and sat down on the chair beside the bed with the mood of an inexplicably old father.With the eyes of his own cub who has finally learned to do things, he looked Bai Shang up and down, "What are you waiting for me to do?"

While pouring himself a cup of tea, he walked in a hurry and didn't even drink his saliva.

"Now that I'm nearly saturated with changes, it's time to slow down and recuperate. Now that I wait until you, everything will be over, and I can arrange my funeral."

"Pfft!" Hei took a sip of tea and was in a panic. He stood up awkwardly, and almost went up and grabbed Bai's collar to question, "What happened next? Are you crazy?"

The person who said this was very calm, with flickering candlelight reflected in his swarthy pupils. "If it continues, I will be unable to restrain myself from militarism. I will force the whole country to accept some knowledge that is unacceptable to ordinary people. The country that is getting better will definitely change because of this, and it will become what I say."

"So what!" Hei said angrily, "What you said is right, they listened to it, so what can you say?"

Bai Dao: "Pull the seedlings to grow, and you will end up with nothing. The foundation is not stable, and the building will always collapse. Indulge in my desires, and the emperors of later generations will not be able to survive. A person's life is only a hundred years, and I don't want to drag a huge dynasty to be buried with me." .”

The white at this moment in the black eyes suddenly overlapped with the white in Esmail a long time ago, full of words for the world, and regarded his own life as a solid cornerstone.Sanity, damn sanity!

Bai did not live in the emperor's usual bedroom, but chose to live in the highest pavilion in the Forbidden City.He was also not used to being served by his servants. Most of the maids in the palace were released, and most of the rest and the eunuchs after getting rid of cliques and traitors were arranged to dress up as emperors.

Bai took Hei's hand, pushed open the door and pulled him out.

The crooked moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are shining brightly in the night sky.Looking from here, one can see the huge capital city outside the palace wall at a glance.The city is lit up, and in the darkness, there are occasionally a few illuminated streets that are very eye-catching.

Seeing that Hei was a little lost in thought, Bai said softly, "It's pretty."

"It would be a pity if such a beautiful country were destroyed in my hands alone."

Hei Evil said angrily: "The world will be divided for a long time, it will be divided for a long time, and it will be united for a long time. You know it well, even if it is destroyed, it will not be long before a new country can be built on the ruins."

Bai smiled lightly and said, "Speak for children."

Without waiting for Hei to get angry, Bai Chang sighed, "I was different since I was a child. I never thought it was normal because of the things around me that I had become accustomed to. I wanted to change the world into what he used to be——with the country When fighting, you don’t need to give money to people if you win the battle. When you walk in the market, you don’t have to worry about being involved in disputes in the rivers and lakes for no reason, and you will die for no reason. I am confident that I can do it, so I did it.”

"Nowadays, I have been busy for many years, and I have achieved some achievements. It is really unwise to be driven by desire."

Hei snorted, "I thought you would be braver." According to his investigation, the group of chaotic parties in the Time Management Bureau clearly corresponded to the bravery in this world.He thought that after his bravery was magnified to the extreme, he could see the appearance of Baishen blocking the killing Buddha, but in the end he was still so cowardly and begging for perfection.

"I think I'm quite brave," Bai leaned on the fence and looked into the distance. "It's brave to pick it up, and it's also brave to put it down. It's brave to live, and it's also brave to die willingly. I don't want to throw away my rights, I don't want to throw away my life, but it's rare to be brave. crown the people of the past and the present.”

Hei was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to resist punching this guy in the face. He climbed over the railing, stepped lightly a few times, and soon disappeared into the night without looking back.And Bai leaned on the railing and watched for a long time, until the sky was light, and then went back to the house to wash and change clothes, and went to court on time.

The former emperor, now the Supreme Emperor.He took the beauty on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and he went out for a long time, and only returned to the palace in the past few days.When Bai went, he was teasing his little grandson, who was only three or four years old, with the newly made snacks from the Imperial Dining Room.

"I'm so busy on weekdays that I wish I could die from overwork. Why do you have time to find me, an idler?"

Bai said: "What we said that day has come to fruition, do you have someone to choose?"

The Supreme Emperor lazily pointed to his son who was neither standing nor sitting, "Here, it's just him. Although this stupid face looks useless, the others can't support the wall. One by one will only Use some cunning tricks, and treat me as a fool and let them deceive you."

Bai took a closer look at his third nephew, and nodded his head as he seemed to be in a clear state of mind. "Yes, it's enough to be persistent, but if you make progress, you can achieve one or two achievements."

Pushing the chubby grandson into the arms of the son who hadn't turned the corner, "Take him to play elsewhere first, I have something to talk to Your Majesty."

As the people walked away, the Supreme Emperor suddenly became serious and said, "What is your year?"

"There will be thirty one."

"Don't you think it's early?"

Bai smiled and said: "It's getting late, isn't the third nephew also twenty-five?"

The overlord's serious expression softened, "Let it be up to you, I'm too lazy to care about it."

In the early morning of the next day, the decree to make the third son of the Supreme Emperor the crown prince was issued.The ruling and opposition parties were once overwhelmed by it.The current sage is still in his prime, but he appointed his nephew as the prince early, why is this?

Zhuge Zheng felt heavy in my heart, and only shook his head when faced with the several apprentices who came forward to report.Sitting alone in the room and pouring a cup of tea to his lips, he felt that the tea he drank on weekdays was bitter and unbearable.

He had some guesses about this, maybe there was some kind of agreement between the Tian family brothers, or there might be some hidden secrets, but this is beyond his ability to intervene.In the end, it could only be turned into a sigh, full of helplessness.

Days are going to change.

From the day when the crown prince was established, all the officials in the imperial court vaguely felt this way.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the emperor to be assassinated, and news that the murderer was related to the other sons of the Supreme Emperor.

Overnight, the situation changed.

There are five sons and two daughters under the Supreme Emperor's knees. The eldest son, second son, fourth son and eldest daughter all secretly win over officials and prepare for the move.

Among them, the eldest son wanted to contact the enemy country for internal and external cooperation, the second son intended to force the palace to usurp the throne, and the fourth son conspired with the eldest daughter to steal the three volumes of blank imperial edicts originally held by the Supreme Emperor, with the intention of forging the edicts to reprimand the current majesty for having come from an improper and unorthodox position.

In the inner courtyard, fragrant mist curled up.

The new crown prince knelt in front of the tent, bowed his head, and said nothing.

Bai lay inside, breathing weakly, not yet broken.The assassination was fake, but his injury was real.He was the real deal, and he made it for himself.

Bai opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, but his face was frighteningly white. "I'm dead, it's a good thing for you, ignore your government affairs, what are you doing kneeling here?"

The prince trembled, put his head on the ground, buried his head deeply, and said nothing.After a while, he got up, stepped out of the palace door one by one, and stepped into the sunshine with one foot.

Today's weather is really good, the sun is shining brightly, and people can't keep their eyes open.

The result of the trial followed Bai's usual style, and those who caused trouble should be executed.Everyone in the court is cautious in their words and deeds, lest something bad happen.As for those who had some small thoughts, to their disappointment, the Taishanghuang never happened from the beginning to the end, and seemed to acquiesce in this matter.

After another half month, the emperor was seriously injured and died.The crown prince came to the throne, and was granted the posthumous title of the first emperor: Mingshen Zhishen Guande Kaishi Zhaowu Emperor.

Before the crown prince succeeded to the throne, the Supreme Emperor looked for him once.There are not many words, but in the final analysis, there is only one sentence, "Don't let him down the road he paved for you."

Heiyin disappeared and stood in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, watching the new little emperor wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne.It was as if everything from yesterday had turned into clouds and smoke.

Going to death bravely is for preservation, isn't it because of fear in the heart, fear of destruction?

Hei clenched the bravery left in his palm, and finally took a deep look at the grandeur.He chased Bai's soul out of this world.

I just hope it will be earlier this time.

Lu Xiaofeng is now in a semi-retired state, going to drink and chat with friends when he has nothing to do, and wandering around at other times, looking at places he has never been to.

Some time ago, he and Chu Liuxiang went out to sea together, and on this island, they ran into Senior Wang Lianhua, the son of a thousand faces who had long been rumored to have retired.No, as soon as he came back, he couldn't wait to find Huamanlou, wanting to have a good talk with him about it.

However, he heard bad news.The emperor passed away, and that young man who looked difficult to get along with, but was actually gentle and unexpectedly gentle, was gone.

"What?" He couldn't help asking again, but still got the same answer.

That night, he got very drunk, sat on the roof, howling at the top of his voice, "Don't let the gold bottle empty to the moon." Zhao Bai, whose identity is unknown, drank.

He brought a jug of good wine and poured a glass for the boy, but he drank the whole jug himself, and only a little of the wine in his glass went down.

He asked, "Are you used to drinking?"

Bai obediently shook his head and said nothing.

So he asked again: "If we can have a drink together, can we be considered friends?"

"Not counting." Bai slowly spit out two words.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Lu Xiaofeng lay down on the roof pretending to howl, "This really hurts my heart, I, Lu Xiaofeng, have never been so disgusted by anyone."

At that time, Bai didn't answer for a long time, and he thought he was angry.Just about to say something stupid, when he turned the page, he heard him continue to say in that slow tone: "You will be a very good friend, but I can't have friends."

He spoke very slowly, as if stating some kind of established fact. "I only make my friends sad."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, breathing slowly and steadily, and it was only then that Lu Xiaofeng realized that he was already drunk with only half a sip of wine.When he woke up the next day, Zhao Bai didn't seem to remember what happened last night, so he didn't mention it again.

If he had already planned his own death since then, then it really is...

Lu Xiaofeng raised his wine glass towards the moonlight night, and said: "To my friend." The wine spilled on the eaves, reflecting the moonlight.

Tonight is also a fine weather.

The author has something to say: I felt like I opened the door to a new world after being amwayed by a friend of Black and White CP.

Also, posthumous titles are really hard to get.I synthesized the posthumous names of other emperors in the Song Dynasty, and changed them myself, hoping that it would not look too strange.

There is a typhoon here, and I am a little scared.I hope that readers and friends who have faced typhoon crossings like me will be safe and sound.
