love

The excitement in the first month of the Great Jin Dynasty this year seems to be extraordinarily long. Just after the New Year, General He Kang recovered the Beiyou Twelve Prefectures and returned to the court.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the city was more lively than the Shangyuan Festival, and the streets were full of people, welcoming the young general back to Beijing.The child was running around with a wooden knife, his mother only allowed him to be unrestrained for a while, "I want to be like General He when I grow up tomorrow."

He Kang has just turned 15 this year. Although he is a weaker year, he is already the most prestigious general in the Jin Dynasty.Since he joined the army at the age of [-], his illustrious military exploits are worthy of his surname.

——In Dajin, whoever learns martial arts doesn't admire the He family.He Kang's grandfather was the founding general who fought for the ancestors. He Kang's uncle, father and brother were also soldiers and horses who died in battle all their lives.Emperor Huanyu took pity on him for losing his father, so he took the eight-year-old him into the palace, taught him himself, and changed his name to Kang, presumably because he hoped that he would grow up safely and healthily.

This end of the palace is also decorated with lanterns and festoons, and they dare not neglect at all.The chief eunuch Yuan Sheng put all his energy into arranging the banquet himself, which attracted the stares of all the newcomers.The palace servants who have been in the palace for a long time simply pretend to be old: "You don't know that, Your Majesty attaches great importance to General He. I think it was His Majesty who taught the little general how to draw a bow and arrow back then, Ming Guang The side hall of the hall, Little General He lived there for seven—"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Sheng knocked on his forehead heavily: "Isn't it true that the Holy Majesty doesn't want to live anymore?" The man immediately begged for mercy, Yuan Sheng shook his head.

It has been sixteen years since Huan Yu ascended the throne at the age of 14.In the first few years, the palace was turbulent, and the people in the palace changed one after another. Only he, Yuan Sheng, still stayed by Huan Yu's side, because he knew that the He family was the only weakness of the calm and calm Holy Majesty.

Others can not be beaked.

After the banquet was set up, Yuan Sheng returned to the Mingguang Hall and saw Huan Yu wiping his sword.

Huan Yu was dressed more solemnly today, the nine-pronged crown was neatly worn, the gold rim on the black background of the crown outlines the sun, moon and stars, and the Zhu Wei and jade pendants were very dignified.Fortunately, under Huan Yu's pair of sword-shaped eyebrows is a pair of attractive peach blossom eyes, the chill quenched by the cold light of the sword's edge is not so severe, but a little more indescribably cold and tender.

Huan Yu's hand rested on the sword for a long time, and Yuan Sheng realized that he was distracted, so he took a few steps closer and called out, "Your Majesty?"

Huan Yu woke up like a dream, "I'm in a trance."

With a sound of "Zheng", he put the sword back into its sheath, Yuan Sheng could only see clearly the word "He" engraved on the hilt.He sighed inwardly, and said: "It's been arranged over there."

Huan Yu said softly, "You go down first."

Yuan Sheng didn't move for a long time, he wanted to persuade something, but stopped at the moment of exiting, after all, it was the master and the servant who were different, he respectfully saluted: "Your servant will leave."

So Huan Yu was the only one left in Mingguang Palace.

In fact, the Mingguang Palace has not always been so deserted, at least not five years ago.

After General He Qing died on the battlefield, He Kang was the only man left in the He family—at the age when he was still being held in the arms of his nanny and coaxed to eat sweets by calling him "Er Lang".

It is true that many things happened in February of the fourth year of Chuixin.When General He Qing regained the Twelve States of Beiyan, he was conspired by the enemy and fell off the cliff with no bones left. The Buddhist temples in the capital were closed overnight, and there was a child eating candy in the Mingguang Temple.

The third aunt of the He family was afraid that being with the king would be like a tiger, and that one day he would be disgusted by Huan Yu, and would go into the palace crying and wanting to return He Kang and leave the last bit of blood for the He family.As soon as she stepped on the threshold, she closed her eyes and burst into tears.Huan Yu didn't make a sound, so he let her cry like a woman in the market, and when her crying subsided, she asked, "Madam, is it better?" The third aunt of the He family opened her eyes and sat down on her buttocks. On the ground, Huan Yu hugged He Kang and sat on the dragon chair.

There were still several plates of candies on the documents in the jade case, and He Kang ate so much that his mouth was full of crumbs and his hands were sticky.

Huan Yu wiped He Kang's mouth with a handkerchief, and asked patiently: "Your third aunt said she would take you back to her home, what do you think?"

He Kang hugged Huan Yu tightly, buried his face in his arms, and then burst into tears.

Huan Yu suspected that He Kang's habit of crying as soon as he said he was crying was learned from his He family's daughters.

"You want to follow me?"

With tears in He Kang's eyes, he nodded and said with a choked voice, "Follow..."

"Then you have to listen to me from now on."

He Kang nodded like pounding garlic.

Huan Yu folded the corner of the handkerchief, wiped his tears carefully, and then said to the third aunt of the He family, "You have also seen that, he is willing to stay by my side." He led He Kang to his highness, He said very seriously: "However the He family treats me, I will treat the He family as well. Madam, don't worry, He Kang is by my side, and I will do my best to teach him."

The third aunt of the He family resigned with tears in her eyes.

Huan Yu looked down at He Kang and smiled: "Why do you cry so easily?"

At that time, He Kang hadn't adjusted yet, he was crying until he was hiccupping, out of breath: "No... I don't know... I know..."

Huan Yu smiled.

He Kang has been by Huan Yu's side ever since.

Huan Yu has not had a harem for so many years. In the first few years of his succession, the ministers had constant internal struggles, and they all wanted to put their own girls in the back seat.

Huan Yu made a balance of power, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were his people, and the ministers were unwilling to give up, and often proposed to accept the empress.Huan Yu then said that he likes men, and anyone who is not determined to send his daughter can stand up and try.

This question is very mysterious, stand up, like a prostitute for glory, don't stand up, I always feel that I am at a loss.

The folk customs of the Great Jin Dynasty were open, and many emperors in the previous dynasty had a harem male favorite, but such a frank emperor Huan Yu was the first one.

After some ideological struggle, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood up and euphemistically mentioned his daughter's beauty.

Huan Yu smiled, and Tao Hua's eyes were filled with mist, "How is it better than me? If it's not as good as me, then I don't need to see you."

Da Jin Shangmei, Huan Yu's appearance can't be found in Da Jin, and he made such a request that few people in the world can satisfy.

Huan Yu also said that in a few years, he would choose a stepson with good conduct in the clan. The ministers didn't say anything, but hope was rekindled in their hearts, and they all speculated whether there was any prince in the clan who was suitable for marriage, and married his daughter Go, maybe my grandson will still be in charge of the East Palace.

After hearing this, He Kang looked in the mirror for a long time. At the age of eight, he paid great attention to his appearance.

Huan Yu checked his homework, but he didn't answer, he just asked, "Which one is better between me and Xinke Tanhua?"

Xinke Tanhualang is a tall and well-established man, his articles are on par with other Jinshi, taking advantage of his handsome appearance, he is appointed as Tanhua by Huan Yu.Later, he picked flowers at the flower-exploring banquet in Xingyuan Garden, which was very suitable for the occasion and became a good story for a while.

Without hesitation, Huan Yu said, "Naturally it's Tanhuamei."

He Kang was so angry that he broke the mirror.

Huan Yu continued: ""Zou Ji satirizes the king of Qi accepting advice" says to open up the way of speaking, and if you listen to it, you will be clear and you will be convinced, but you will be dark. You must also be good at listening to many opinions in the future—"

He Kang covered his face and cried loudly.

Crying until the night, his voice was hoarse, and Huan Yu ignored him, so he had to go to the main hall to find Huan Yu.Huan Yu picked up a lamp, but hadn't fallen asleep yet, what happened to be Zou Ji's volume in "Warring States Policy" in his hand.

"Are you done crying?"

He Kang nodded embarrassedly.

"Why do boys care so much about their looks?"

He Kang stopped talking.

Huan Yu wondered if he was being too fierce, so he asked another question, "Worried about not looking good?"

He Kang nodded cautiously.

Huan Yu scratched his nose, "Don't worry, you look better."

He Kang's eyes were bright, and he blinked. Huan Yu suspected that the stars outside had entered the Mingguang Palace.

He lay on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Huan Yu in a hoarse voice: "Which one is better, Xinke Tanhua or me?"

Huan Yu said softly, "You are the most beautiful."

Only then did He Kang fall asleep contentedly.

Such a little crying bag also cried a lot when he joined the army.

When he was 15 years old, he suddenly had a seizure, and his back was straightened only a little lower than Huan Yu's chin. The half-grown child's voice hadn't finished changing yet, and when he heard that he was going to the military camp, he cried for another day and night.

Huan Yu has always been very patient with He Kang. Over the years, He Kang has softened his mouth and softened his heart, but the only thing about joining the army is that he will not change his mind no matter how much He Kang cries.

He Kang's voice was already very stiff and hoarse, "I don't want to leave the palace."

Huan Yu changed from his usual gentleness, and his tone was very firm: "Which one of the He family's men grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and your brother ate and lived with the soldiers in the military camp when he was ten years old."

He Kang's expression was complicated.

Huan Yu said: "I didn't ask you to go into battle to kill the enemy, I just want you to go to the barracks to hone your character and learn to be a son of the He family." After all, he couldn't bear to see He Kang's sobbing appearance, and lightly Gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks, "Why do you become more and more beautiful in the palace? Wouldn't it become a girl's house with some rouge? Huh?"

He Kang muttered softly: "I just don't want to leave you."

"What did you say?"

He Kang waved his hands again and again, and rushed outside in a hurry.

The matter of going to the barracks was thus settled.At first, Huan Yu only wanted him to practice for a year or so, and that's all.Unexpectedly, the kid went to the barracks and never came back, and even asked to go to the north to wipe out the enemy.Huan Yu didn't agree, so he sneaked to the Northland by himself to join the Northern Army.

In the past five years, good news came from him one by one, no one in Dajin dared to look down on him, he really shined on the lintel.

In the 14th year of Chuixin, He Kang's class teacher returned to the court, and Huan Yu named him Chengwuhou, with tens of thousands of households in the city, and newly granted him the Marquis Mansion.The young man pursed his thin lips, looked at the young king with sharp black eyes, and took the iron ticket.

After that, He Kang didn't stay in Beijing for long before continuing his northern expedition, and Huan Yu gradually felt a feeling that "the son is too old to stay".He couldn't explain why, but he always felt that He Kang had a lot to do with him, probably because He Kang had grown up.

The door was gently pushed open, and it was Yuan Sheng——

"Your Majesty, General He Xiao has entered the palace."

"I see." Huan Yu put down the sword in his hand and went out.
