My aesthetic is out of tune with the world

The door of the hall was wide open, and the officials outside knelt down, Wu Yong said with red eyes,

"The emperor has left an explanation for the funeral. It is said that it is located in the king of Xin. The edict will be hidden behind the upright plaque in the main hall. I also invite all the adults and servants to go to Kaifeng together."

Qi Xing knelt in the inner room and could hear the voices outside clearly. He couldn't tell what it was like for a moment. He raised his head and met Chen Yuzhi's dazed eyes, as if he himself didn't expect the throne to come. Such is the result.

Xie Chuyun shook his sleeves, bowed slightly to Chen Yuzhi, and said loudly in an almost surrendering gesture,

"Your Highness, please go to the main hall with the ministers, and enact the last emperor's edict."

This action of his made all the officials know in their hearts, they all kowtowed and followed,

"Your Highness, please go to the main hall with the minister."

Things went more smoothly than expected. With Xie Chuyun's support and being the number one heir to the royal family, the throne is certain, and it will only be Chen Yuzhi's.

In May of the 11th year of Qingli, Emperor Qingli died in the cabinet of Qianyuan Hall at the age of 59.

In July of the 11th year of Qingli, the new emperor succeeded to the throne and changed the name of the country to Yuanjing.

To be honest, Chen Yu always felt that there was not much difference between being an emperor and being a prince, but he was more comfortable without the mountain on his head.

He was at his desk in the Qinghui Pavilion correcting the memorials, he just felt that these ministers really had nothing to do, they had to report all the big things, no wonder the late emperor was unwilling to go to court.

Chen Yuzhi planned to stop reading the copy in his hand, lowered his head and glanced at the ten lines in a hurry, when a sudden itchiness came from his neck,

"Your Majesty has been watching for two hours, it's time for dinner."

Xie Chuyun's slightly cool fingertips deliberately scratched Chen Yuzhi's itch, laughing happily.

Chen Yu didn't turn his head back, didn't react at all, just reached out his hand silently, and squeezed his waist with lightning speed.

Xie Chuyun was startled, it was so itchy that she couldn't stand still, she bent over and took several steps back.

Chen Yuzhi put down the brush calmly, and hooked the corner of his mouth without a trace.

Successful counter-kill, yay!

The palace servants quickly passed on the food, and a table was set up, but it was midsummer, and Chen Yu didn't have much appetite. When he looked at Xie Chuyun again, he didn't eat a few bites.

It's a pity not to go out for a while at night, Chen Yu blinked, and hooked his fingers at him,

"Go out for a stroll?"

Xie Chuyun raised his eyebrows blankly,

"Sneak what?"

dog?

Chen Yu smiled and said,

"Let's go out for a stroll and live a two-person world."

"..."

Seeing that Xie Chuyun didn't speak, he stood up and pulled him up from the chair, half dragging and half hugging him out,

"Walk around, maybe you can see fireflies."

Xie Chuyun could only laugh,

"Your Majesty is really... a childlike innocence."

"Of course, I will always... But then again, how old are you? I don't know yet."

The corner of Xie Chuyun's mouth froze, why didn't any pot open and which pot was lifted.

He was led out of the palace by Chen Yuzhi, and with his white fingertips, he touched his beautiful face like a peach blossom, and asked with a charming smile,

"Your Majesty sees the slave's age as the slave's age."

Chen Yu said directly,

"I think you look like 80 years old."

"..."

On the first day, I found out that this guy's mouth is so cheap.

Before Xie Chuyun got mad, Chen Yu slapped his buttocks and ran away. A group of palace people chased after him with lanterns.

"Slow down, Your Majesty!"

"The road is steep late at night, be careful, Your Majesty!"

Xie Chuyun stood on the spot and took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and followed, but his face was drawn so long.

Chen Yu hadn't visited the palace much before, and walked to the Phoenix Terrace in a daze. This place is close to the ghostly place of the prison, and no one came here. It looked like it had been abandoned for many years, and the railings were covered with gecko grass.

After waving his hand to signal the palace servants to watch around, Chen Yu pulled Xie Chuyun over, pointed at the stars in the sky and said,

"Look!"

Xie Chuyun didn't lift her head,

"Look at what?"

Chen Yu is full of pride,

"I fought for you all the world!"

Xie Chuyun couldn't hold back no matter how angry she was, she felt helpless, but her face was still half-smiling, not cold,

"What nonsense is your Majesty talking about?"

Can you speak human words?

"There's a melon over there."

Chen Yu pointed to the pile of wild grass under the stage, where a big watermelon was growing. He tied his robe into his belt, and patted Xie Chuyun on the shoulder.

"Wait, I'll pick a melon for you."

Before he finished speaking, without waiting for his answer, he leaned on the railing with his hand to borrow his strength, and walked over there lightly, stepping on a pile of dead vine branches and leaves.

Xie Chuyun frowned,

"It's late at night, why don't you come pick it up tomorrow."

As he spoke, he jumped down the railing swiftly, and was about to pull Chen Yuzhi back, but he heard a crackling sound, and then the bright yellow figure fell to the ground.

Chen Yuzhi seemed to have been tripped by something. He groped in the dark and got up, but he felt a sticky hand, and his heart skipped a beat. He raised his eyes again, and met a pair of hideous bloodshot eyes. Infiltrating people for no reason in the night...

"..."

Perhaps at this time, he should shout "there is a ghost", but Chen Yu was so frightened that he couldn't make any sound. He froze for a moment, then stood up and walked back as if nothing had happened, and when he turned around, he saw Xie Chuyun looking at him with a serious expression... …

behind.

Chen Yu's straight legs are really weak, Nima can't really be a ghost, right? ! !

Thank you Dugong, love!Kuoai came to rescue your dog emperor! !

Xie Chuyun stared at the boss, his whole body was in a tense state, he stretched out his hand towards Chen Yu, his lips squirmed a few times, as if he was afraid of waking someone up,

"Come here quickly..."

Chen Yu ran towards him straight away, but before he could run far, a long knife with a cold light was put on his neck.

Chen Yuzhi: ...

Yoshi, I can't run away.

"The Dog Emperor..."

A hoarse and broken voice sounded behind Chen Yuzhi, like a ghost crawling out of hell, full of resentment.

At some point in that barren melon field lay a woman covered in bruises, disheveled, haggard, worse than a beggar, worse than a ghost, a circle of flesh was turning on her wrist holding the knife, and blood dripped down. , as if forcibly breaking free from some kind of torture device.

Xie Chuyun squinted his eyes, his expression was difficult to understand.

"Fang Qingai..."

The woman didn't move, but held Chen Yu tightly and backed away. The palace guard outside noticed something was wrong, and took a look with her head, and immediately screamed in fright.

"Come here!! There are assassins—!"

The sound sounded like water falling into a frying pan, causing a commotion, and soon the light of a torch appeared not far away, moving rapidly towards this side, only the three people on the field were still in a stalemate.

In the end, Xie Chuyun couldn't hold his breath,

"If you're smart, you'll let him go obediently."

As he spoke, he took a step forward quietly, but Fang Qingai reacted greatly, shouting hoarsely,

"Back!! Back!! Don't come forward!!"

Xie Chuyun could only grit his teeth and take a small step back, but his eyes kept staring at the long knife on Chen Yuzhi's neck. The leader of the forbidden army who was patrolling the night quickly rushed over with a large number of people, and they were all shocked when they saw it.

"Bold Assassin! Not yet..."

"To shut up!"

Xie Chuyun turned back angrily, and slapped the forbidden soldier ten meters away with one palm, then looked at Fang Qingai with a cold expression,

"Let him go, and this Dugong can spare your life."

Chen Yu could feel that the woman was exhausted, and the knife on her neck was a little loose. He lowered his eyes, and stretched out two fingers without any trace, and pressed them between his neck and the knife.

"You tell them to put down their weapons! Back off! Otherwise, I will kill this dog emperor!"

All the imperial guards around did so, and took a dozen steps back under Chen Yuzhi's gaze. Fang Qingai didn't want to assassinate anyone this time, she just wanted to escape, far away. As others said, it is scarier than ghosts and monsters.

She held Chen Yu straight and walked out step by step, and finally retreated to the nearest palace wall to Xuanwu Gate. Xie Chuyun and the forbidden army followed closely, keeping a distance of about ten meters.

Chen Yu could feel the thick blood dripping from his neck, but it wasn't his own, but that woman's. He glanced sideways at the shaky figure of the other party,

"Even though the girl is good at lightness kungfu, it may be difficult to fly out if she is seriously injured..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Qingai viciously approached the blade two inches closer,

"To shut up!"

"I can swear in the name of the ancestors of the Zhao family that as long as the girl puts down the butcher knife, no one will pursue this matter again."

The woman didn't speak, she seemed to be recharging her energy, Chen Yu saw that there were many more archers on the eaves, he paused and continued,

"I also know your father. As a minister, he is qualified, but as a father, he failed."

"Dog Emperor! If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you!"

Fang Qingai's voice was full of hatred, but Chen Yuzhi seemed to be punishing his heart with every word,

"Your father went to the emperor and was sentenced to move three thousand miles. In fact, your whole family didn't have to die, whether it was your mother or your brother,"

"Do you know why your whole family died? Because when your father was demoted, he pointed at a powerful official and scolded him as a dog official. Did he think about the slightest thing for you? The hall is full of loyalty and filial piety, now when someone mentions him, they will say with emotion, "Ah, Mr. Fang, I heard that he is a loyal minister", but what about you?"

"Your mother is only about 30 years old, your younger brother is not as weak as the crown, and there are dozens of lives in the Fang family. Because of his loyalty, all of them were sacrificed."

Chen Yuzhi's voice seemed to have magical powers, and Fang Qingai's mind couldn't help replaying the original tragedy, mother, younger brother, nanny, countless people were tied up at the entrance of the vegetable market, their heads fell to the ground with a knife in hand .

Her younger brother is the smartest child in the Fang clan. He is full of knowledge at the age of 16 and always talks about becoming a good official like his father in the future, but with this one knife, everything will come to nothing.

Chen Yuzhi is still saying,

"Can they think of it? They didn't have to die, just because of your father."

"do not talk!"

Fang Qingai suddenly sobbed, the long knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, she hugged her head and wept bitterly,

"You kill me! Kill me!"

Both her parents are dead, she has no relatives in this world, even if she is alive, she is still like a walking corpse.

Chen Yuzhi was pulled away by Xie Chuyun the moment the knife fell to the ground, and in an instant countless guards holding torches rushed up and surrounded Fang Qingai.

The woman huddled in the corner, crying helplessly, as if the sky had fallen.

Although cutting the weeds does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates, but her faith has collapsed, and she has no energy left to do anything else.

"Some things are not blood feuds, but destiny. Your father is not suitable for officialdom, but he jumped in. Even if there is no such disaster, such things will happen endlessly in the future."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he quietly ticked Xie Chuyun's palm, and said softly,

"Let her go, I don't think there will be any troubles in the future."

Hearing this, Xie Chuyun was silent for a moment, and finally raised his hand, signaling the imperial army to let him go.

After making such a fuss, Chen Yu didn't even bother to play around, Chen Yu always felt that he had made a mistake, and followed Xie Chuyun into the palace step by step, as obedient as he could be.

Xie Chuyun glanced at him,

"Will you pick melons secretly next time?"

Chen Yu remained silent.

Xie Chuyun asked again,

"Return to Gou Jiangshan?"

Chen Yu continued to remain silent.

Going on has to go on going, life is made by going on.

Xie Chuyun looked at him, and suddenly sighed,

"When you are in a high position, you always have to be extremely careful. Your Majesty has to learn one by one. If the slave is gone in the future, you can rest assured."

"Not here? Where are you going?"

Chen Yuzhi pulled him into the inner room, then lay down on the couch to watch the stars, Xie Chuyun held his chin, and tapped the tip of his nose,

"The slave is much older than your majesty, and in the next hundred years, he will naturally walk ahead of your majesty."

"Aren't you [-] years old? You're just as close to me as you are,"

Chen Yuzhi stretched out his hand and pinched his earlobe, his face was calm, but there was a little softness in his eyes,

"When you leave, I will follow, okay?"

Xie Chuyun smiled,

"Even if this statement is false, I will be happy to hear it."

"Who said it was fake."

Chen Yu said directly,

"it is true."

Xie Chuyun was startled, then fell into his arms and smiled, but didn't say anything.

In the 12th year of Yuanjing, Jiuqian was seriously ill.

After all, Xie Chuyun lost his health when he was young, and he was already exhausted. Chen Yu hasn't been to court for half a month, and has been with him all the time.

"If your majesty doesn't go to court again, I'm afraid those people will scold them in private again."

Xie Chuyun still had an ageless face. He lay down on the couch, smiled softly, and Chen Yu held his thin hands tightly.

For so many years, since Chen Yuzhi succeeded to the throne, the courtiers have asked to open up the harem and have a chance to pick up girls, but he has never responded. First, he insisted on the excuse that the late emperor died within a hundred days, and insisted on keeping the filial piety period for three years. Without even a reason, the harem has been deserted.

After a long time, some people saw some meaning and said that he favored eunuchs and neglected the government, but in fact, Chen Yu has been running schools in private, repairing waterways, lightening taxes, and benefiting migrant workers, but all these things have been handed over to Xie Chuyun to do.

Xie Chuyun had been a treacherous official for half of his life, and for the rest of his life, he became a good official again for him.

Sometimes Chen Yuzhi was tired and ignored government affairs, but it was Xie Chuyun who changed the memorials one by one for him.

Strange to say, when the first emperor was in power, he wished that the other party would be as stupid as possible, so he recruited countless beauties, so fascinated him that he ignored the government, but it was Chen Yuzhi...

Chen Yuzhi became the emperor, this country belongs to Chen Yuzhi, Chen Yuzhi's stuff, Xie Chuyun...

Xie Chuyun always wanted to protect him.

he sighed,

"I am really reluctant to part with Your Majesty."

Xie Chuyun, as usual, showed a little cunning in his eyes, as if he had just done a small prank,

"The tea just now is poisonous, His Majesty will be gutted in a short while."

He was referring to the one that Chen Yuzhi just drank.

Xie Chuyun had said more than once before that he would take him with him when he died. Chen Yu was not surprised when he heard that, he just patted his head,

"Can't you get a medicine that doesn't look so ugly?"

After speaking, he paused again,

"It's good, so no one is alone."

Xie Chuyun looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, shook his head,

"How can the slave be willing?"

How could he be willing to do so.

This person has been treating him well for more than ten years, even if it's fake and pretending, it's enough.

The first time we met in the Lingnan Prince's Mansion that year, it was a joy at first sight, and we stayed with each other for the rest of our lives, and we never got tired of it, so how could he be willing to take his life?

Chen Yuzhi suddenly felt his knees sink, and lowered his head, only to see a pale hand hanging weakly on the edge of the bed.

Seeing this, the eunuchs and maids at the side knelt down in unison, not daring to make a sound.

The deputy governor of the East Factory held a brocade box and presented it to Chen Yuzhi,

"This is the Dugong's order to be handed over to His Majesty."

Chen Yu lowered his eyes, and opened the lid. Inside lay the talisman that controlled the three armies, and there was another booklet, which contained the lifelines of all the officials in the court.

Before Xie Chuyun left, he paved the road for him.

Chen Yuzhi's throat moved,

"King Xuanying enters the palace."

He supported the edge of the bed to get up, and suddenly staggered, the palace servant hurried forward to support him, only to see the corner of his robe was tightly held in the palm of Xie Chuyun's hand.

But before he died, he loosened it not long after.

Chen Yuzhi had no heirs, and wanted to let the King of England succeed him after his death, so he had been carefully cultivating it for the past few years. After the man came, he gave the King of England what Xie Chuyun had given him.

After Qixing saw it clearly, he knelt down hastily,

"Your Majesty!"

The girl he likes is of low status. At the beginning, it was Chen Yuzhi's adult beauty who personally bestowed the marriage. Now the two are more affectionate and have two sons. They always remember his kindness in their hearts.

"What's the matter, you are also the blood of the Zhao family. All these years, I have put you in the court to practice, and you can also be on your own. Don't refuse."

Chen Yuzhi waved his hand,

"Go."

After all, he got up and walked towards the inner room.

Qixing just found out about Xie Chuyun's funeral, and when he saw Chen Yuzhi's leaving back, he panicked suddenly.

"Where is Uncle Jiu going?!"

"I'm going to accompany him."

Chen Yu lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room, but his figure disappeared, but his voice still echoed in his ears.

"The funeral should be simpler. If possible, bury me with him."

In May of the 12th year of Yuanjing, Xie Chuyun died at the age of [-]. The next day, Emperor Yuanjing died, and the King of England succeeded to the throne. Due to the national mourning, the tax was reduced for three years, and the world was amnesty.

The dull bell rang a hundred and eight times, and passed from Chang'an to Yuchuan City, and from Yuchuan City to Yuchuan County. At that time, there was a farmer in the field who was plowing the land. Zhiyin was stunned for a moment.

Seeing her, the man strode up from the field, took the food box and blamed her,

"Your hand is hurt. Didn't you tell you not to deliver food? It's heavy, and the work is almost done. Let's go home and eat."

The woman had an old wound on both wrists, she covered it up with her sleeves uncomfortably, and went home with the man.

"Brother, did you hear the bell just now?"

"I heard that, maybe some high-ranking official died."

"More than that, listen, the death knell rang a hundred and eight times, the emperor may have passed away..."

This woman was Fang Qingai back then, she was let go by Xie Chuyun, escaped from the palace all the way, then returned to the teacher's school, married the senior brother who had always admired her, and hid herself in the fields and mountains, she was happy and at ease.

The two returned home, the woman entered the house, but when she came out she changed into a plain white dress, the man felt strange seeing it,

"What kind of plain clothes should you wear?"

The woman was pinching rice to feed the chickens, when she heard the words, she paused,

"An old man died."

"A good relationship?"

The woman was silent for a moment,

"He saved my life."

"That should be it."
