over ten thousand people

Finally, I learned the truth more than a thousand years ago——

Although His Majesty lacks interest in offering sacrifices to the mausoleum, the imperial mausoleum is not something that he will not repair if he doesn't want to.Before I passed away in my previous life, the location of the Changling Mausoleum had been determined repeatedly, and there were successive burial mausoleums in the surrounding area.In contrast, the progress of the Changling main project can be described as slow.It was not until His Majesty retreated behind the scenes and the prince was in court that he invested a lot of money and labor in this matter.

In other words, Changling was basically built under the personal supervision of the prince at that time, who was later Emperor Taizong.His Majesty's will requires a simple and thin burial, but from the number of luminous pearls inlaid on the dome of the mausoleum, it is known that Emperor Taizong did not fully comply.Considering that Wang Youjun's "Lanting Collection Preface" and His Majesty's handwritten "Emperor Policy" are among the funerary objects-these are priceless treasures that cannot be exchanged for a thousand dollars-we can even speculate on Emperor Taizong's true attitude.

"His Royal Highness is filial, Your Majesty should not be too demanding." I couldn't help but want to speak for Emperor Taizong.Although my impression of him will always stay in my youth, this does not affect my good evaluation of him at all.

Zhou Qian snorted again, as if he was not surprised by my protection. "The decree is just a superficial thing. In private, I told Xuan'er very clearly that Changling should be repaired. As for my body, I will deal with it on a dark and windy night. It is very simple. .”

He didn't say how to deal with it, but I was already choked up.Your Majesty has been an emperor all his life, practiced frugality, worked hard, made great achievements, and has a long history. Why should he share a mausoleum with someone else—even if that person is me? "If I were His Royal Highness, I would not agree."

Fortunately, His Majesty felt a little uncomfortable when he mentioned this matter, and he was pretending to read the soil layer analysis in the display cabinet at the moment, otherwise he would definitely find that my eyes were red again. "Xuan'er is not stupid." He said, as if explaining, "I take him by my side every day, and teach him how to manage affairs; he didn't know when he was young, so he won't be able to find the flaws when he grows up?"

I know he has a point.Few people knew the truth back then; but as the heir chosen by His Majesty, Emperor Taizong should have some reasoning skills. "Then His Royal Highness is even less likely to do what His Majesty said, isn't it?"

Zhou Qian could hardly hold his breath.After a while, he slumped his shoulders slightly, and complained vaguely, which sounded like "you donkey temper".Afterwards, he coughed lightly, and said, "From the time I got the news from Changling, I knew that Xuan'er didn't do what I said at all."

This is indeed easy to reason about.Because if Emperor Taizong really followed His Majesty's request and put His Majesty's body in my mausoleum, abnormalities will be found when excavating the surrounding area of ​​Changling Mausoleum. It is also close to Changling.In addition, the authentic works of "Lanting Collection Preface" and "Emperor Policy" must have caused a sensation in the world, but there is no news about them so far, which shows that the real mausoleum is still in its proper place.

I suddenly remembered what Zhou Qian said before, "Seventy miles north of Changling".My original mausoleum is not in that location, and His Majesty only confirmed that Emperor Taizong did not follow the will, so... "How does Your Majesty know where the real mausoleum is?"

"It's an important secret, Xuan'er can't move too far." Zhou Qian curled his lips back, not to say that he didn't have the slightest complacency. "And I've seen all the Fengshui places around here."

Like many other ancient books, the Book of Changes is also one of the bibliographies that His Majesty has studied since childhood.For example, the first time I noticed His Majesty the Ninth Prince from a distance, he was secretly reading this book.Among them, the difficult and difficult parts can only be understood but cannot be explained in words, but His Majesty has learned nine out of ten, and the geologists back then may not have His Majesty's vicious vision.

There seemed to be thousands of words in my chest, but I couldn't find the one I wanted to say the most.In the end, I can only ask: "Is there a third person who knows about this?"

"If there is, why do you think it hasn't been discovered yet?" Zhou Qian asked back with a smile.

Thinking of us being together forever in the previous life, I just want this secret to continue; but on the other hand, it seems too regretful to never see the light of day. "But, Your Majesty, there is not even a complete transcript of "Emperor Policy" left..." I said, I couldn't help but feel aggrieved-God knows, I have searched for almost 20 years, but found nothing!

"Do you want to see it?" Zhou Qian asked, the expression on his face turned into a half-smile. "Or, fourth brother wants to see it?"

There is no need to hesitate about this question. "I want to see it all." I immediately nodded sincerely.Then, I remembered something, and I continued to add: "But His Royal Highness King Wei wants to see it even more, after all, he really has a throne to inherit now."

Zhou Qian was overjoyed when he heard this, probably because he remembered Zhou Bubi's manic laughter at that time. "But his is not the same thing." He verified my guess as soon as he opened his mouth, "How do you say that sentence? The national conditions are different, so it doesn't apply."

"According to what His Royal Highness the King of Wei said, everything is always the same." I explained, and then said, "But I'm not speaking for him. Although it's roughly the same, there's no reason for anyone to send a national treasure abroad, right?"

As if he didn't expect me to say that at all, Zhou Qian let out a burst of laughter. "I can see it," he suppressed a smile, his eyes were full of narrow eyes, "you used to compete secretly, but now you can compete openly!" Having said this, he calmed down and nodded. Chest taught me: "Regional protectionism is bad."

I blinked and realized he was totally joking. "Anyway, even if His Royal Highness King Wei can watch it, he has to wait behind me."

If these words were put in the past, he would be proud of being favored.But now, Zhou Qian just couldn't help laughing, and laughed: "Well, yes, you are the first!"

It cannot be said that there is no appeasement in this.But seeing his unburdened and hazy smile, I just want to do one thing, which is to press him into my arms hard.In fact, I did too.Zhou Qian was stunned for a moment, but he still returned the same hug, and the cheeks and ears of the two were tightly pressed together.

"Your Majesty." I called him softly, feeling his steady and powerful heartbeat easily penetrated the thin summer fabric, as did the temperature of his body, and his unique breath.

"En." Zhou Qian replied, his head on my shoulder moved slightly. "Although I still hope you change your mouth...that Ah Qian was pretty good before, don't you think?"

"Not at all." I firmly denied.But his performance is no different from before, which means that he hasn't noticed what Yongmeng and I have done on the Internet... This is really good news.I secretly hope that he will find out later, after all, the later it is, the harder it will be to change.

Zhou Qian let out a sigh of relief, and most of them threw themselves on the side of my neck intentionally or unintentionally. "Why?"

I was immediately distracted, but there was still a part of my heart that was wary of this being His Majesty's deliberate diversion - he was extremely good at this, and I had fallen for it too many times.This time, I have to hold back, at least until I speak out... "Your Majesty hasn't told me what's going on in Nanzhao."

The body in the arms is slightly stiff.But just for a split second, the stiffness disappeared so quickly it seemed like it had never appeared before. "Did you swear to yourself before you came, that you have to break the casserole and ask the end of everything?" His tone was a little more helpless.

"Who made His Majesty never take the initiative to say it?" I retorted unconvinced.

Zhou Qian sighed softly.Just when I thought he was going to talk about some irrelevant things, he said in a serious tone: "Do you still remember that I once told you that if I change places with you , I am afraid that both of them will have a better life?"

Hearing this sentence again, I still feel a strong discomfort. "Your Majesty, it's wrong for me to have negative thoughts, but Your Majesty can't talk nonsense because of this..."

But before the end of the sentence, I realized what was really wrong——

In terms of origin and family, isn’t what we are now the same as before?And if I remember correctly, the southern border has always been prosperous in the art of witchcraft...

"Your Majesty, you..." I turned pale with shock, and immediately wanted to face him squarely.

Maybe because he didn't want me to see his face, Zhou Qian didn't want to let go at all. "I know what you're thinking... I don't believe in witchcraft at all. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

I calmed down a little.That's right, those pretentious things, as well as those so-called elixir for strengthening the body, will die faster no matter how you do it. "Is there a but behind it?" I asked tentatively.Otherwise, why does His Majesty insist on conquest by the emperor himself?

"There is a but." Zhou Qian admitted that he seemed to start to smile bitterly. "Even you have to admit that being able to predict past and present lives is very attractive, right?"

I was about to say that it was you, Your Majesty, but after half a second, I realized that his so-called past and present lives were aimed at a specific person, not the tide of history.Thinking about why he was attracted by this predictive ability...

For the second time in as little time, I found myself choking horribly again.The attack on Nanzhao took place seven years after my death. Maybe he just wanted to know if there is any chance of us seeing each other——

Even if it's just a false, ethereal prophecy, he's willing to hypnotize himself.

As if infected by my emotions, Zhou Qian's voice became lower. "The witch told me, no. But if I am willing to give everything I was born with, maybe there is still a chance."

Everything you were born with?

The sky is noble, unattainable, with power and wealth that ordinary people can't reach; not to mention that the emperor has the supreme status above ten thousand people...

"Your Majesty..." I closed my eyes tightly, my body trembling uncontrollably.I wanted to say something, I had to say something, but the words came out almost incoherently.Words are so feeble, and it's too late to comfort me, and it's not as good as what he did for me in case.

Zhou Qian seemed to find that I was already out of breath. "But you also know that Wu Ji is talking nonsense." He quickly changed the subject, and his tone became softer than ever, almost cautious. "Sticking to death is a psychological comfort, and you don't need to care about it at all."

——You told me not to care, but how could I not care?

I almost yelled like that.The only thing stopping me from doing it is that it's not him who should be yelled at, but me.How can I be worthy of his affection?

"Don't blame yourself." He whispered, "If you do this again, I won't be able to tell you the truth in the future."

Intellectually, I know he is right; but emotionally, I still believe that the reason why we have a chance to start all over must be all due to him-he used his own sacrifices in exchange for future changes, even in Thousands of years later.

I tried to face him again, and this time I did it easily.There was worry deep in his eyes, which became more apparent when he saw my face.But before he could say anything, I took his hand and my right knee slid naturally onto the smooth, cold ground.There is no ring, and the place is wrong; but I swear to God, I must say this now, and I can't wait a moment longer--

"Marry me, Your Majesty."
