over ten thousand people

Go north from Liangyi Hall, pass Ganlu Gate and turn right, pass Shenlong Hall and Lingyan Pavilion, cross Longshou Canal along Qianbu Corridor, and then exit Anli Gate, you can walk out of the imperial palace and the north wall of the capital, and climb to Xing The real highest place in the capital - Longshouyuan.

Although the common people like to climb high and look far away during festivals, but because of the geographical advantages and the proximity to the imperial city, the dragon head was originally guarded by the garrison, so ordinary people can't get close at all.The emperor, however, was a clear exception.No matter who I take with me, the journey will be unimpeded.

It's just that he first saw the guard at Anlimen, then saw the right guard at Longshouyuan, and then was shocked by the coldness of the high ground... When he was standing on Longshouyuan, Xie Jingyu didn't know much. The alcoholism has completely dissipated.Judging from his expression, he must have felt that I was making too much fanfare.But at this time, it was too late to object, and he could only admit it. "Your Majesty, you should have said this earlier."

I just ignore him.Just kidding, if Xie Jingyu knew that I wanted to take him to Longshouyuan, even if it wasn't in the little interval between the New Year's Eve banquet and the Great Court Meeting, he might not agree!

Xie Jingyu probably read my answer from my deliberate silence. "Your Majesty," he immediately softened his tone, "Why did you bring your ministers here?"

This is barely considered sensible, and I snorted lightly from my nose. "I ask you, standing here, what do you see?"

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu stared into the distance.But in fact, the answer to this question couldn’t be more obvious——

Standing on the Longshouyuan, it is enough to overlook the entire imperial palace and even the whole city of Xingjing.In normal times, because of the curfew, only a few buildings in the imperial city can be seen clearly; but now it is New Year's Eve, the city is decorated with lanterns and festoons, colorful fireworks, and the sound of hustle and bustle, making it a bustling scene that is brightly lit all night.

Facing the scene that he had never seen before, Xie Jingyu could not take his eyes off after only a short while. "It's beautiful." He murmured unconsciously.

Although this doesn't sound like an answer to me, and it's only two short words, but I do understand what Xie Jingyu means—how is it not beautiful in a peaceful and prosperous age, a prosperous age, and Haiyan?

"When I first boarded here, I was still young." I looked at the city in the night like a giant beast, and said to myself. "I remember very clearly that that day was also New Year's Eve. Father took the prince's brother's hand and pointed to the city gate under his feet, but told the prince's brother to see the world from it."

Even if I didn't look back, I could still feel that Xie Jingyu had turned his gaze back to me, and he was quite engrossed.After all, I keep my past secret; if I don't tell, no one will know.If he is not curious about this, it is probably impossible.

"That year, Shiwei and Khitan in the northeast had just surrendered, but the Xiongnu were still pressing on the northwest frontier; the Wu Dynasty in the southeast was already fading away, but Tuyuhun in the southwest was also eyeing. Although the situation was not so dangerous for everyone, No one is in a good mood to celebrate the festival. Even on New Year’s Eve every year, the lights in the city are sparse and sparse.”

Xie Jing nodded imperceptibly.He was eleven or twelve at the time, so theoretically he shouldn't know; but after so many years, it's normal for him to understand the previous history.

I continued on. "Father told the crown prince brother that even if he is the crown prince, he may not be able to be a stable emperor. The Huns and Tuyuhun are both crises, which is good; it is not bad that the serious problems of the confidant should be solved first. However, there are more crises Lurking in seemingly peaceful places. Being in a high position, you must not take it lightly at all times."

Xie Jingyu moved a little, but didn't speak.

"Brother Prince was thirteen that year." I didn't comment on his seemingly disapproving reaction, and just continued my own topic. "It sounds a little too early, but the prince is very serious, and he has written down everything the father said."

"Your Majesty... was five years old?" Xie Jingyu finally interjected, his tone full of depressing disbelief.

I nodded approvingly at his sharp response.It was in that year that I had my first prophetic dream, in which I was crowned a great treasure.But at that time, I didn't know that I didn't know the prophet; I only knew that if I told the things in my dream, even if I was the Ninth Prince, I might lose my mind.Therefore, I never mentioned this matter, and then began to hide myself.

"I swore to myself at that time - if I have the chance to become the co-lord of the world, I want it to be better than under the rule of my father, even much better."

This is indeed true.Born in the royal family, saying that he doesn't want to be an emperor is against his will.My real luck does not lie in the foresight, but in the fact that I have wanted to be a wise king since I was a child, and I am willing to put in all the effort for it.

It was quiet for a while, only the sound of fireworks bursting from time to time, and half of the night sky flickered.

"Although His Majesty may not be satisfied, I feel that His Majesty has already done it." Xie Jingyu said, with [-]% solemnity, "For the outside world, the Xiongnu, Tubo, and Huihe have all been pacified, and the border areas should not be closed for decades. There is a big war going on. Internally, His Majesty will build water conservancy projects and expand commercial roads, and sooner or later the people will be prosperous and the country will be prosperous." He paused, and then added as if he was not convincing enough: "I heard that Huihe Huaide Khan All the items in this tribute are clearly dedicated to Tian Khan—that is, His Majesty.”

I smiled and shook my head.Dunying did make such a move, but I think the gimmick contained in the title is far stronger than the actual meaning. "As I see it, things are not that simple."

"What do you mean by your Majesty's words?" Xie Jingyu was slightly puzzled.

"If it weren't for the momentum of the Hengsai Army and Dingyuan Army to attack the desert, do you think Dunying would have cut off Lu He's head neatly?" Will Tubo continue to bow down obediently?"

The answer is obviously no.Leaving aside the possible resistance of Huihe for the time being; if it were not for the defeat of Huihe by this dynasty, Songren Songtsan would definitely take advantage of the fire to loot him-but we took strict precautions and did not let him find a chance.

Xie Jingyu must understand, because his reply to this is: "However, there has never been if and if not in the world, Your Majesty."

That's a good point.There is no if in the world, just like there is no medicine for regret in the world.I am the emperor, even if I take a wrong step, I may suffer great consequences; no matter how bad it is, the effort to clean up the mess is more laborious than the effort to cause trouble. "Did Mr. Xie hear those words in Xishou surrendered city that day?"

I didn't answer the rhetorical question, and the reference was too vague, Xie Jingyu didn't react for a while. "What is Your Majesty saying?" He asked, and suddenly realized: "You mean..."

"If everyone disarms and returns to the fields, who will do the work of defending the wilderness and opening up the frontier?" I roughly repeated.

Xie Jingyu nodded thoughtfully. "That soldier is right. But I think that His Majesty is still different from him."

I am indeed different from the soldier surnamed Hua who is supposed to be the boss of the family, because it is certainly impossible for me to be stationed at the frontier all year round.However... "I just feel that what my father said is very true. Even if everything seems to be going well on the surface, I can't forget to be prepared for danger in times of peace." I said softly.

After hearing this, Xie Jingyu didn't try to refute.It took him a long time before he spoke again: "Your Majesty, the burden on your shoulders is too heavy." His tone was heavy and harsh.

I finally turned to him. "Didn't you just ask me why I brought you here? I can tell you now, of course I didn't bring you here to complain to you."

Xie Jingyu blinked. "Complaining? I really hope that your majesty will do this. I'm afraid that your majesty will never say a word," he said here, showing a wry smile close to self-deprecating, "then I will doubt what is the use of me."

His appearance is really distressing, and the words I wanted to say changed the tone: "So, if I want the world to be clean, you will definitely help me?"

Now, Xie Jingyu looked at me as if I just said something completely nonsense. "I have always said this to Your Majesty, why does Your Majesty ask again?"

But this time I didn't ask knowingly.There is a deep meaning in it, and I just want him to personally promise it again. "I was wrong," I readily admitted, and then asked non-stop, "That is to say, if I want you to appreciate this picturesque river and mountain together with me, you will definitely agree, right?"

"...Your Majesty?" Xie Jingyu was suddenly caught by me, and Xie Jingyu gasped slightly in surprise.But after all, he has a good brain, and he recalled it all at once. "Your Majesty!" He was a little annoyed, "You didn't give me any room to refuse!"

"What?" I raised my eyebrows dangerously. "Could it be that Prime Minister Xie still wants to refuse?"

Xie Jingyu fell silent immediately, and the expression on his face changed rapidly.There was another long silence, and then he replied in a low voice: "Of course I...don't want to."

I continued to raise my eyebrows, and generously gave him a smile that was not a smile, the kind that the ministers couldn't help feeling flustered.

Xie Jingyu is well aware of my hint.He closed his eyes forcefully, then opened them again, as if he was desperate: "I'm even dreaming!"

This sentence may be the limit of Xie Jingyu's extravagant hopes.Because he hadn't finished speaking completely, he had already blushed from his face to the base of his neck.I couldn't help laughing out loud at this rare embarrassment, and he was almost ashamed. "His Majesty……"

He obviously stopped talking, but I didn't mean to stop at all.

Xie Jingyu was a little annoyed by my laughter. "Your Majesty, if you laugh again, I will dare to offend you." He forced a straight face, but because the red color hadn't faded, it didn't look deterrent at all.

"The next one is wrong?" Even though I was still laughing, I couldn't help but ask back, "Xie Xiang, do you still remember what I said in Tangquan Palace?"

I sit above ten thousand people, and I may only be under you alone.

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu had the same reaction as that time again—his body was slightly stiff, but there seemed to be something opening deep in his pupils, and the burst of light was even more dazzling than the fireworks on New Year's Eve in Xingjing.No, was he looking like this at that time?It seems to be too close, I can't see it...

"Your Majesty..." Xie Jingyu's voice interrupted my thoughts.Taking a closer look, I found that he had already passed the short distance between the two of them. "Your Majesty Xu Chen's position is above ten thousand and below one person, but what I really want is your Majesty's words." He opened his arms towards me, and his dark eyes were full of reflections of myself and me. The brightly lit capital behind.

There has never been a better time than now.

I couldn't help having this thought, and responded with the same action.Two people, four hands, united into a complete hug.The ancient sages said that you can't have both fish and bear's paw.But now, I have the world, and I have him.The ruler and ministers, the country and the family, follow the dragon like a cloud, like a fish in water.Life is so satisfying and smooth, how can you not be satisfied?
