Funing Hall

Zhao Cong was still sad and crying at first, his mind was full of the scene of Xiao Shiyi being bullied in the crooked Wei County Prince's Mansion, such a small person...no matter what he said later, he didn't really listen to much.

But when it came to "the whole world is inferior to you, Your Majesty", Zhao Cong heard it.

He was a little puzzled at first, suspecting that he had heard wrong, and quickly looked up at Xiao Shiyi.

When Zhao Shishi said this, he also paused a little, and looked at him, his eyes were very sincere.

Unexpectedly, when he looked at it like this, he could see the tears and stupefied coexistence in Zhao Cong's eyes, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, wanting to reach out his hand to wipe Zhao Cong's tears away.

His hand was about to leave Zhao Cong's, but Zhao Cong quickly grabbed it with his backhand.

Zhao Cong has always been a person who cares about face, but he didn't care about it at this time, he hurriedly said, "What did you just say?"

"I said that His Majesty is the person I care about most, more important than the whole world."

Zhao Cong didn't realize that he really heard it right. After listening to the other party say it again, he subconsciously laughed, and only after he laughed did he feel that he shouldn't have laughed.He tried to stop smiling immediately, but when he was about to stop, thinking about Rantao's words, he thought again, why not laugh?

He is like this, smiling for a while, and not for a while, just tossing about himself, but making Zhao Shiyi, who has been looking at him, laugh again.

Knowing that he was being laughed at, Zhao Cong frowned.

Little Eleven was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he quickly took out one of his hands, put it around him, put his chin on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "When I was in Liao Kingdom, I watched him every day. In the actually unfamiliar sky in the palace, I think every day, what was my purpose in the two lives that passed by in a hurry. Your Majesty, have I done a lot of wrong things?"

Zhao Cong frowned when he came to lie down and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Zhao Cong thought for a while, and said according to his heart: "No one has never made mistakes. You have made a lot of mistakes. Just say that when you came to Tokyo last year, you drugged me! What are you doing for? !"

Zhao Shiyi listened, buried his head in Zhao Cong's shoulder, seemed to face him shamelessly, and said in a muffled voice: "I want to get close to you, but you don't want to, and you even hate me. I don't know what I thought at that time. It's like taking the ecstasy pill. But at the time, I always felt that the worst was nothing more than that, so... probably that's the idea, as long as I can touch you."

"It's a good thing that you met me, and it's a good thing that I—" Zhao Cong stopped talking halfway through.

"Fortunately, how is your Majesty?" He hurriedly asked.

How could Zhao Cong have the nerve to say this? Could it be that fortunately he, Zhao Cong, loves him so much that he loves him even if he is drugged.He couldn't say it, so Zhao Cong immediately changed the topic, but he sighed sincerely: "You have done a lot of bad things, but you have done one thing right after all."

"Ok?"

"I chose to sneak into the palace when I was 11 years old."

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Shiyi raised his head to look at Zhao Cong in confusion, even a little nervous.He will always remember that the night Zhao Cong let him go, the sentence Zhao Cong said "I regret meeting him in the back garden" was really a nightmare.

Zhao Cong is embarrassed to admit that he loves to death, but there is nothing to avoid.He also took out a hand, caressed Xiao Shishi's back, looked out of the pavilion, and said softly: "I used to think this was a bad fate, but now I feel that the other side of the evil fate is a good fate." , It depends on how you look at it and how you experience it. If you didn't enter the palace back then, how would we have come to this day. What Rantao said is right, the two should be honest with each other."

Zhao Cong came here today to talk about his previous life.

But Zhao Shiyi didn't know it, he became more happy and moved after hearing this, hugged Zhao Cong even tighter, buried his face deeply in Zhao Cong's neck, his soft hair was worn so that Zhao Cong couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Cong smiled and said, "I have kept the purse you left behind when you left."

Xiao Shiyi let go of his other hand, groped for a while from his sleeve pocket, and found a purse that was also old, obviously it had been rubbed too much and faded.He showed it to Zhao Cong, and said obediently, "I have it too."

Zhao Cong took it in his hand, lowered his head to look at it, and sighed: "What was the picture in the past, let's live a good life in the future."

"Okay." Little Eleven nodded, "Your Majesty will continue to teach me well in the future, and no matter how good I am, you have always been the only one willing to teach me."

Zhao Cong also smiled when he heard this.

In the past, he often thought about why he came here for no reason.Now he probably understood, maybe it was to meet this person.

Zhao Cong made up his mind and suppressed his smile.He lowered his head and cupped Xiao Shiyi's face, facing him face to face, eye to eye, and said seriously: "I also have something to tell you."

Zhao Shixi was a little nervous, without blinking his eyes: "What's the matter?"

He was so nervous, Zhao Cong laughed again, and said with a smile: "It's a matter of two lifetimes."

Zhao Shixi hurriedly said: "I really didn't intend to hide it from you. I'm afraid to tell you that you treat me as a monster, and I'm afraid you don't like me even more. Otherwise, why would I bother to hide it like this? I've already..." He said for a while , I realized something was wrong, "Your Majesty, what do you mean—" he said incredulously, "Could it be that you are starting all over again?!"

"It is, but it is not." Zhao Cong deliberately teased him.

Zhao Shishi was almost dying of anxiety, and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, are you really starting over again? That's right! At that time, I still felt strange that Aunt Wang sent someone to kill you. Although I helped you, why didn't you It didn’t affect you at all. It was also very strange that day. Later, it was found out that no one went to the back garden, and no one pushed you, but you fell into the water!” He said “God”, “You Really do it all over again! You know someone was going to push you into the water that day!"

Zhao Cong laughed out loud.

"..." Zhao Shishi became even more confused.

Zhao Cong stopped teasing him, but said slowly: "I did start over again, but my previous life was not here."

Zhao Shishi was surprised: "That's it?"

Zhao Cong looked outside the pavilion again, a little outwardly, but also a little emotionally said: "It's a place I can never go back to."

"Could it be that Your Majesty was a Jurchen in her previous life?"

Zhao Cong has always been more targeted at Jurchen, and it was only Zhao Shishi's guess.

Zhao Cong shook his head: "It's more than 1000 years later."

"..." No matter how clever and extraordinary Zhao Shishi is, he is still an ancient man. He doesn't know what he will look like in more than 1000 years, and even when he heard it, he felt it was too ridiculous.But it was Zhao Cong who said this, and he still believed it. He asked, "After 1000 years, there may be no Song Dynasty again? Which one will be the emperor?"

"After more than 1000 years, there will be no emperor, everyone is equal, and there is no need to kneel down." Zhao Cong paused, "At least it seems that everyone is equal, and people pay attention to freedom and equality."

"No emperor?"

Zhao Cong looked down at his very curious appearance, smiled and reached out to tap his forehead, and continued: "No, men at that time didn't have long hair, and their clothes were not as complicated as they were then. People no longer rode horses when traveling, but took cars. There are many cities, many streets."

"No horse? What kind of car is that?"

"Cars." Zhao Cong seemed to know that he didn't understand, and explained, "It's an industrialized society, and it's even becoming more and more technological." Zhao Shiyi really didn't understand these unique terms of the era for a while, and Zhao Cong didn't understand them either. Don't continue, "I will tell you in detail in the future, anyway, I came from more than 1000 years ago. I was not called Zhao Cong at that time."

"Then, what's it called?"

"Zhao Chen, is it quite similar?"

Zhao Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief: "So you're still writing our words?"

Zhao Cong smiled: "Yes."

"Whether your Majesty is called Zhao Cong or Zhao Chen, they are all treasures."

In Zhao Cong's heart, it was as sweet as eating two catties of caramel, and the eyes he looked at Zhao Shishi became more tender.

Zhao Shixi hurriedly asked again: "What did your Majesty do at that time?"

"Well, he is a teacher. He has some money in his family, and he will take care of the family business."

"Your Majesty is actually a gentleman? Mr. State School, or Mr. Private School?"

Zhao Cong laughed again: "It's a university teacher. University is not the "University" you read when you were young. It is a place where a group of boys and girls aged [-] or [-] study and study. I teach acting, which means singing."

"..." Zhao Shiyi was stunned again. In the Song Dynasty, opera singers were inferior, and women were not allowed to study in schools.But he was never the kind of person who looked down on women. He thought for a while and said, "After a thousand years, women can really do the same things as men."

"Yeah, it's not easy."

"At that time, it must have been very interesting, right? Has Your Majesty ever missed it?"

Zhao Cong thought about it carefully, but in fact he didn't miss it very much, only a few times when he was seriously ill, he dreamed about the past.At that time, I should really want to go back and have the idea of ​​escaping the status quo.

For the rest—

Zhao Cong shook his head: "I was a bit out of tune with that era. Besides, my parents have passed away long ago, so it's meaningless to be alone."

When Zhao Shiyi heard the words "parents passed away", he felt very sad for a while.

Although he has that kind of biological father, he still has a mother. He did not expect Zhao Cong's parents to be like this in his two lifetimes.Then he thought of another thing, he can only be reborn after death, what about Zhao Cong?He thought so, but he didn't dare to ask, hesitation appeared on his face.

Zhao Cong and him understood each other thoroughly, seeing him like this, he knew what he was thinking.

Zhao Cong said indifferently, "In my last life, I committed suicide."

"……His Majesty."

"It's nothing, I had depression in my previous life. That's why I first saw you in the back garden, and thought you were also a child with a closed mind. In my life, I had autism. That's why I treated you so cautiously. Unexpectedly, I was deceived." Zhao Cong said it lightly on purpose.

Zhao Shishi didn't dare to ask again, but his hands were shaking because of his heartache. He went to grab Zhao Cong's hand and held it tightly.

Zhao Cong comforted him, saying "it's okay", and he was relieved.If you want to ask him further and ask him why he has depression, that's good or bad.After all, the only love in his previous life, I don't know whether to call it love, and it's embarrassing to say it.

Zhao Cong looked down at him: "Talk about me, and then go on to talk about your Liao Kingdom?"

Zhao Shiyi has not recovered from what he just said. After all, for a modern person like Zhao Cong, it is very easy to accept rebirth.But for Zhao Shishi, there were too many words just now that shocked him, especially Zhao Cong's suicide.

He also saw the scene of Qian Yuemo hanged himself that day, and Zhao Zongning was so frightened that he was dumbfounded.

He is also a little stupid now, just thinking of the scene of Zhao Cong's suicide makes his body tremble.

Zhao Cong pushed him, and said what he meant first: "Why don't you go back to Shangjing first?"

He came back to his senses slowly, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the reason why I contacted Li Liangcheng and Wan Yanliang before was because the Liao Kingdom really wanted to confront the Song Dynasty head-on, and they really couldn't beat it. You said before that I If I don’t go back, I won’t win. In fact, if I go back, both Xixia and Jurchen will be like this, and Liao Kingdom will still be unable to win without helpers.”

"Then you just let them be like this with foreign countries? You are from Liao country after all."

Zhao Shiyi sighed: "Your Majesty, maybe when I say these words, you will feel that I am too cold-blooded and mean. My mother was very unbearable when she was pregnant with me. She escaped from Shangjing. My mother hates that person. Even now, although I am not from Weijun Wangfu, I have always regarded myself as a Song Dynasty person for the past two lifetimes. I wonder if Your Majesty can understand this feeling?"

Zhao Cong nodded, he could understand.

"Originally, I planned to capture the Song Dynasty in five years. After the capture, I also wanted to move the capital back to Tokyo." He said, a little embarrassed, "At that time, I just wanted to capture the Song Dynasty and grab you. I I’m also afraid that you will not live comfortably in Shangjing, and I love Tokyo more. In my heart, Tokyo is my home.”

Zhao Cong was angry and funny: "Then you really don't plan to go back?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't have too much ambition to wash away all the persecution in life. Your Majesty, let them go. You have long planned to support Yeluqin as emperor. Although the Liao Kingdom cannot beat the Song Dynasty, it is not as good as Xixia That kind of decline. In 20 years, it is absolutely impossible to recover it completely. It is only about cutting some land. I delayed His Majesty's plan, and now is the best opportunity. After this fight, the two countries will sign an agreement, and then help Yelu Your Majesty Qin. Even if you cannot complete the great cause of unification during your reign, the descendants of the Zhao family will surely be able to complete it in the future. In my opinion, a hundred years at the latest is enough."

Zhao Cong thought for a long time before he nodded slightly: "You are right. But, since you said that only I have taught you. Now, there is one more thing to teach you."

He spoke so seriously, Zhao Shishi also became serious: "Your Majesty said."

"Everything should have a beginning and an end. This mess in the Liao Kingdom started because of you. No matter what, you have to be responsible for finishing it."

"Your Majesty's meaning..."

"Yeluqin can't take over immediately. In such a country, there must be someone in charge."

Zhao Shishi was discouraged: "I don't want to be the emperor anymore."

"Then you can arrange it secretly. In short, you still have to take on this responsibility before Yeluqin takes office."

Zhao Shishi was still a little hesitant, he didn't want to leave Tokyo City again, but what Zhao Cong said was right.He nodded: "OK."

"Good boy." Zhao Cong smiled and patted his head again.

"Is there any reward for being so obedient?" Zhao Shiyi continued to be obedient.

This kindness made Zhao Cong feel very comfortable. He picked up a piece of plum blossom cake from the plate and handed it to his mouth: "I reward you with a piece of cake."

The plum blossom cake is small and exquisite, under the lamp, it looks very similar to the plum blossoms on the branches, and the icing is used to imitate white snow.

Zhao Shishi pretended to be extremely disappointed: "It's only a piece of cake!"

Zhao Cong laughed even more, took the cake back, and took a bite first.Before he could take that bite, he approached Zhao Shishi.Zhao Shishi understood what he meant, and was overjoyed, and immediately smiled and bit the other few petals of the plum cake.

The two shared the cake.

I ate the white icing, which was sweet to the bottom of my heart.

When eating the stuffing inside, there is a lingering sweet fragrance in the mouth.

The lips of the two happened to stick together, and they also kissed a lingering kiss.

When they parted again, Zhao Shishi was still full of thoughts and wanted to kiss again.

Zhao Cong said again: "Let's talk about Xie Wenrui."

Zhao Shiyi immediately made a bitter face, and he did something stupid again, so he asked first: "How will Your Majesty deal with Xie Wenrui?"

"It's all thanks to you. Their family can't escape if they are punished. Xie Wenrui's future is ruined."

"Maybe... maybe it helped him instead."

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, would you like to hear about Xie Wenrui's previous life?"

Zhao Cong nodded and motioned for him to say, Zhao Shiyi said something, and Zhao Cong was surprised: "It turned out to be so, no wonder you knew about the two of them before. It turns out that Xie Wenrui almost married the little lady of Huang Shu's family in the previous life. It turns out that they Both are your confidantes."

"Huang Shu was the one I was loyal to when I went to the Southwest that year. At that time, the Song Dynasty was in chaos and everyone was looking for their own way out."

"It's strange that you knew to read "Sparse News" when you were young. Speaking of the little lady of Huang Shu's family, she has been married in her life, and she was the matchmaker of the previous queen." When it comes to Qian Yuemo, Zhao Cong is also a little bit Lost, ask again, "How is Qian Yuemo?"

"He is the queen that the late emperor pointed out to you, but—"

"In the previous life, Zhao Cong died early and never got married."

Zhao Shishi nodded, but then hummed in dissatisfaction.

Zhao Cong smiled: "Who is to blame? If you don't drug me, I won't make her queen. This is called throwing a stone at one's own foot."

"Your Majesty, I was wrong." Zhao Shiyi quickly came over to admit his mistake and acted like a baby, Zhao Cong touched his head with a smile, said "Good boy", and sighed, "I don't know what Xie Wenrui and Gu Ci will do in this life. At that time, Xie Wenrui came to see me on his own initiative, and I also sent someone to arrest Gu Ci, but he had disappeared."

"Gu Ci is a smart man."

"It can be seen that I don't know where Gu Ci is now." Zhao Cong read aloud, and actually had a general idea of ​​how to deal with Xie Wenrui in his heart.

Seeing that he had finally finished asking, Zhao Shiyi was about to trick Zhao Cong into the room, and the two had a good time.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Cong said again: "Ning Ning wrote to me again today, asking how I should deal with the queen. The queen has been playing with Rong Rong these years, and in the palace, I can't always accompany her, it's always the queen. Ning Ning is very grateful to the queen, and I am also grateful, but how to deal with it is really difficult. Let's talk about Rong Rong, who is crying for her "Aunt Shu" every day. It stands to reason that children don't remember things. But it has been more than a month now, and she still can't forget it. When she cries, I feel bad in my heart."

Zhao Shishi glanced at him and said speechlessly, "Your Majesty, you didn't know it all this time? Can't you see it?"

Zhao Cong was puzzled: "What do I see?"

Zhao Shishi let out a long sigh: "Your Majesty, Qian Yuemo is delighted with your precious sister."

"..." Zhao Cong glared at him.

"Yes, it's the kind between me and you."

"..."

Zhao Shiyi had no choice but to tell her brother what she said to Zhao Zongning back then.

Zhao Cong was shocked, even more shocked than his own affairs.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shiyi said again: "According to my observation, Zhao Zongning should also have intentions for Qian Yuemo. You didn't see her appearance when she saved Qian Yuemo." He described it again, and Zhao Cong thoroughly not talking anymore.

"Your Majesty, do you disagree?"

Zhao Cong was silent, this is not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing.

He was just, so shocked!

His sister and his queen lily are gone!

He is the only one who doesn't know!

Zhao Shishi was really impatient, he was still leaning in Zhao Cong's arms, looking obedient and clever.While Zhao Cong was still in a daze, he held Zhao Cong in this posture and stood up suddenly.

Only then did Zhao Cong come back to his senses, and he smiled: "Your Majesty, let's talk about other people's affairs tomorrow, is it alright?"

Zhao Cong looked back and looked around, subconsciously said: "I'm going back to the palace today."

Zhao Shishi laughed even harder: "Your Majesty knows that I want to pull you into something that won't let you go back to the palace?"

"..." Zhao Cong was at a loss for words.

Zhao Shishi stepped on the stone bench, supported him with his legs, hugged him tightly with one hand, and wrapped him more tightly with the big fur cape on his body with the other hand.Then Zhao Shiyi picked up the wintersweet on the table and put it in Zhao Cong's arms. Then he hugged Zhao Cong tightly with both hands, lowered his head and smiled and said, "It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk, can it work?"

Zhao Cong was helpless: "I can't say it, but is it still useful?"

Zhao Shiyi smiled, hugged him and walked out of the pavilion.

The cold wind outside the pavilion was blowing in, Zhao Shiyi hugged Zhao Cong even tighter, walked through the plum blossom forest with his back to the wind, and walked to the bedroom.

The bodies of the two were occasionally caressed by plum blossom branches.Zhao Cong stretched out his hand from the cloak, and happened to touch Yuxue on a plum blossom, which was cool and soft.After touching it, the fingertips suddenly became hot.

For some reason, Zhao Cong suddenly laughed.

Zhao Shishi asked him why he was laughing.

He shook his head, he liked the warm touch after the cold.He even raised his head to look at the sky. The moon is not extremely bright, but it just shows the stars. The stars seem to be very happy, playing with one brighter than the other, all over the night sky.

At this time, it was much like the days and nights when he and Xiao Shi watched the stars together.

Zhao Cong took a deep breath and smelled the stronger fragrance of wintersweet.

Involuntarily, he said, "Actually, I didn't have the nerve to say it just now."

"Ok?"

"Actually, you did the right thing."

"What is it?" Zhao Shixi stopped and looked down at him.

Zhao Cong also looked away, looked at him, and said with a smile, "You met me."
