Huaigui

Today the world stands side by side north and south.

The Gao family ruled a vast territory in the north, reaching the Bohai Sea in the east, Dajiang in the south, Yumen Fortress in the west, the imperial capital of the old dynasty, and Chile Lake in the north.The name of Li's country in southern Xinjiang is Chu, from Bashan to the East China Sea, south to Yazhou, covering the most nourishing side of water and soil, partial to Jiangning.

Since the last years of the former dynasty, Prime Minister Li Ye abolished the young emperor and proclaimed himself emperor, and General Gao Cheng rebelled openly. The situation of planning the river to rule has been stalemate, and three generations of emperors have gone through.

When the People's Republic of China was first founded, the Gao and Li families fought to the death. The Li family relied on its strong military force and once drove the Gao family out of the Great Wall. However, the Gao family got a blessing in disguise and gathered the three tribes in the northern part of the Great Wall. South.For more than ten years, the flames of war have been raging, and no one has completely defeated the other. Now it seems to be balanced, but there is an undercurrent in private, which does not stop for a moment.

Today is the 14th year of Jingming in the Ning Dynasty. The Beining Emperor inherited the last wish of Emperor Xianjingwen and sent his troops south again, stationed outside Jingzhou City, igniting the first fire of peace for many years.

The confrontation on the front line lasted for a long time, but there was no real conflict. The Southern Dynasty was in panic all day long. The emperor in Ziwei City stood still, but a carriage quietly entered the palace at this time.

Gao Hong got off the car and went straight to Tai Chi Hall behind Wende Gate.He walked a few steps quickly, stopped suddenly, and gestured to the side.

The eunuch who was ordered to meet King Yu said puzzledly, "My lord, this is..."

Before the words were finished, two shadows flashed out, as if appearing out of thin air.The eunuch was startled, and when he took a closer look, he immediately recognized one of them: Rong Chang had a sad and serious expression on his face, and he was nine feet long, like a wall of iron and steel, wearing no armor or sword, wearing simple clothes Black clothes, like impermanence from the underworld.

The eunuch was in a low position and hurriedly bowed: "My servant pays homage to Lu...Captain Lu Wei."

He lowered his head, glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye, and his doubts deepened.

It's not surprising that King Yu is always surrounded by Lu Yi's guards, but why did he suddenly bring along a... young man today?

However, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he has not yet reached the crown, and his long braids hang down his back. His expression is even less discernible than that of Lu Yi. There was something alive in the deep gray eyes.

Catching the young man's gaze, the eunuch couldn't help but look away and didn't dare to look any more, secretly slandering: "This King Yu has become more and more strange recently, it's fine to find a Gaoche man as a guard, now... at first glance, he thought he was a dead man! "

Mingyue didn't know what he was thinking, seeing people no longer staring at her, she looked down at the thin callus on her palm indifferently.

"This king is going to discuss matters with His Majesty at the Taiji Hall, so you don't have to follow." Gao Hong said to Lu Yi, "You take Mingyue around, the rules here are not strict, except that the concubine's residence is not allowed to come near, and you can walk around in the garden. About After half an hour, if I haven't summoned you yet, bring Mingyue back to the palace first."

This order is a bit strange, he does not avoid the emperor's eyes and ears to show that he is loyal enough.

Lu Yi nodded: "Yes."

Gao Hong nodded in satisfaction, and then put on a pleasant smile: "Eunuch Chen, let's go?"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness." The eunuch bowed again before continuing to walk ahead to guide him.

Gao Hong's figure gradually drifted away, Mingyue blinked: "Brother Lu."

He and Lu Yi have a good relationship, perhaps because none of their shadow guards are Han Chinese. Although they don't think of themselves as aliens after a long time, after all, as foreigners, they are not tolerated by others, and gradually they want to hug each other for warmth.Lu Yi is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and treats them well in private. Mingyue is the youngest among them, so he naturally takes care of them more.

Lu Yi glanced at him: "Your Highness said so, you just do it."

A slight excitement appeared on Mingyue's youthful face, and her voice became louder: "Really?"

Lu Yi smiled meanly: "Brother Lu is following you secretly."

Mingyue nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

The sun is high in the sky, the dew is dry, and the towering palace walls of Ziwei City are shining with colored glaze.

Although she can do whatever she wants with the order, Mingyue may not dare to be presumptuous.The first time he entered the palace was to protect Gao Hong, but Gao Hong didn't need it now, and he didn't have the courage to go too far.

The layout of Ziwei City is simple. Behind Wende Gate, through the corridor outside the side hall of Taiji Hall, and then through a few palaces with few people, you can see a corner of the imperial garden.

Mingyue thought about it for a while, and the spring is in full bloom at this time, and a hundred flowers are blooming, so why not go and have a look.Knowing that Lu Yi was nearby, he found a gazebo at the end of the corridor, leaned on it, and sat down cautiously.

The gazebo should have an elegant name. Mingyue looked up at the flowing strokes. He couldn't read the characters, and couldn't understand what it meant, so he had to give up, and after studying it pretendingly, he yawned.

It is near the water, and it is also at the border of the garden and the former court, and it takes a long time for the guards to pass by.

"Brother Lu, why are the guards of the imperial city so lax?" Mingyue's voice was low, and she thought he was talking to herself when she didn't listen carefully.

Lu Yiren was not at the side, but the words came from the thread: "Your Majesty doesn't like too many people to serve you. As for the reason, I am neither in the court nor in the palace, so I have no way of knowing. I just heard the prince mention it occasionally, except for the North Palace where the empress lived, the whole The guards in Ziwei City don’t seem to be very strict—it’s just that there are eyes and ears in the dark, I don’t know.”

Mingyue was thoughtful: "Aren't you afraid of other people's gossip?"

Lu Yi said: "Compared to the guards in the open, maybe the invisible is more awe-inspiring."

Mingyue nodded expressionlessly, and didn't look around like other people who heard these words.Seeing his reaction, Lu Yi confirmed her conjecture more and more: this young man of unknown origin, may be just like what the prince said, a natural gem in the rough.

It's just that the rough jade needs to be carved, and I don't know what it will be tortured in the future.

Thinking of her prince's unspeakable methods, and then looking at the young man with a face as heavy as water, Lu Yi shuddered.

After Mingyue sat for a while, he suddenly stood up with sharp eyes and ears.

A faint call for help came from nowhere, he listened attentively, and after a while looked in one direction: "Brother Lu, did you hear that?"

"Go and have a look." Lu Yi said, her tone was strong, and she was ordering.

The next moment, Mingyue's figure flashed, and she was gone.

"Come here! Save people, save people!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Please, come down—"

"Where did the guards go?!"

Several maids in apricot-colored skirts were anxiously circling around a tall willow tree, not knowing what to do, so they had to look anxiously at the tree.After a long while without hearing an answer, they faced the sky, and the corners of their cold clothes passed by lightly.

One of them covered his heart: "Sister Amang, what should I do! Your Highness didn't respond. This place is far away from the North Hall, and we can't touch the front court. Let's say that every day should not be done, and the ground is not working. Turning around hurts His Highness... "

The leading maid she asked for help should be of quite high status, and her dress was different from the others, with a touch of elegant sky blue.After hearing this, she looked up again, seeing no one at all, and then said: "Ask someone to invite General Xu Xin, have you gone?"

The man who spoke earlier said: "Go! It's just that General Xu doesn't know where he is on duty, I'm afraid..."

Amang breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head to remove the inconvenient embroidered shoes, and was about to climb when something fell from the tree.Several women screamed, and then rushed to catch it.

Amang took a closer look and carried it back in a hurry——

The one that was thrown from the tree looked like a black cat!The culprit who caused the master to still be on top!

Holding the cat by the nape of its neck, she hesitated to speak, when she heard a crisp young voice from the treetops:

"Sister Amang, cat, did you catch it?"

"Your Highness, stop making trouble! Come down!" Aman's temples thumped, "Let your mother know that you must be locked up to copy books!"

The treetops were quiet for a moment, and the boy said with a smile: "But I can't go down!"

Aman was stunned: "Wh...why can't you go down?"

"I'm afraid I'll fall if I let go!" the boy said without any sense of danger.

Amon's eyes darkened.

At this moment, a figure rushed towards him from a distance, and after a short pause, he stepped on the tree trunk two or three times.Several maids were frightened, and just happened to pass by the palace patrol, and they were about to sue immediately.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, that is His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

Amon turned around suspiciously, and said to the tall young man, "Your Excellency is...?"

The visitor calmed down and said, "I'm going to Lu Yi."

While they were talking, Mingyue had deftly climbed up to the top of the tree.Tang Liu's branches are soft and slender, and they can't bear heavy objects at all, but he lifted it on the dantian with one breath, and his body was as light as a swallow. After a moment of balance, he stood firmly on his feet.

Pointing to the tip of his toes, he separated the intricately entangled branches, and saw a young man tremblingly hugging a branch that was overgrown.

He stopped breathing for a moment, but he glanced at the bright sunlight in the boy's eyes.

"Hey, the rescuers are here!" When the boy saw him, he stretched out his hand indiscriminately and asked him to support him——

It's a pity that extreme joy begets sorrow.

That branch was very flexible, the moment he let go, he directly brought his whole body down!

Mingyue didn't have time to think about what was going on, so she swung instinctively, and immediately pulled the young man by the waist, regardless of whether it would hurt the nobleman, she protected his head and face, and pressed it against her chest.The height of the tree was several feet, and no one would be killed if it fell down. Mingyue hugged the young man tightly, and before she could make any movement, the next moment her back fell heavily on the ground.

No matter how soft the grass was, he still had a bad fall, his ears were ringing and his eyes were dazzled, and he didn't recover for a long time.

A group of people rushed forward, and the maid's voice was so sharp that it was indistinct when stacked together, and it was especially piercing because of anxiety: "Your Highness?! Is Your Highness alright? This is—"

The person in his arms moved, lifted Mingyue's arms and struggled to get up.

"I'm fine." The boy looked up with lingering fear.

Amang hurriedly patted the dirt off his hem, and just stretched out his hand, but was stopped by the boy.

A touch of moonlight flickered in front of her eyes, and Mingyue finally eased from the pain of falling branches.He supported the ground with his palms, and was about to get up by himself like every time he was injured, when a hand suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Fair and clean, with well-proportioned joints, not squeamish with yangchun water, at this time there are a little scratches, revealing shocking bloodshot.

He looked up and saw the owner of the hand.

A childish face with a pointed chin, a little dust and mud on the face, but it can't hide the brilliance.Because of his disheveled hair when he climbed the tree, it blocked the corners of his upturned eyes, but it didn't block the small red cinnabar mole at the end of the eyes——

One on each side, symmetrical and neat.

He laughed and stretched out his hand stubbornly: "Thank you, I will pull you up."

Mingyue's reason was seized by that smile for a moment, and she grabbed him like a ghost, struggling to get up with just a little effort.That hand held him tightly, Mingyue woke up suddenly, pulled back, and stood silently aside.

The boy was very satisfied, and smiled at him more and more: "What's your name?"

Mingyue: "..."

Seeing that he didn't answer, the young man suddenly realized, and reported his family name: "My name is Gao Jing, Jing Ming's Jing."

Following his words, the eyes of the surroundings fell on Mingyue.He had never been treated with so many people staring at him. He was at a loss and didn't know how to respond, so he had to look at Lu Yi, the only person he knew.

The tall guard captain saluted the young man who claimed to be Gao Jing, and thoughtfully said: "Since Your Highness is fine, I will take my leave."

He winked at Mingyue, and Mingyue withdrew her gaze, staring at her nose, nose, nose and mouth, and remained silent.The boy didn't mean to embarrass them, he chuckled lightly, turned around and left on his own.

Waiting until Gao Jing turned around the shadow of the tree, Lu Yi's tense back relaxed: "You, you have offended someone."

Mingyue asked in surprise, "Why?"

Lu Yi smiled but said, "Didn't you hear his name? What was the name of the dynasty, do you still remember?"

Mingyue was startled: "Jing..."

The current emperor, Shan Mingpei, ascended the throne at a young age, and was regented by his biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhao.At the age of 20, Gao Pei was in charge of the government. First of all, he used thunderous means to deal with internal and external troubles, imprisoned the Queen Mother, exiled the Zhao family of his relatives, and gathered the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.After three years, Sheng Rouran, negotiated peace for ten years, and exempted the old tribute.In another year, regain the position of the main country of Bohai Sea and expand the sea transportation.

Looking at his political achievements alone, Gao Pei is an out-and-out promising king.

In the year when the Bohai Kingdom became a minister, Gao Pei changed his reign name to Jingming in order to show that he was free from the empress dowager Zhao's interference in politics.In July of the same year, Empress Dugu gave birth to a son, Emperor Dayue, who named him Jing.

Up and down the sky, the future is boundless.

He was still in shock, but behind the winding palace wall, the promising Second Highness Gao Jing, who had just climbed onto the Tang Liu for a cat, suddenly asked, "Who was that person just now?"

Amang was immersed in the panic that was almost hard to explain, and said casually: "I don't know, I have never seen it in the guards of the imperial city."

"The one who asked alone was the little one." Gao Jing emphasized his tone.

Childish voice, but no one dared to take it seriously, Aman cheered up: "I only heard him say that he is from His Royal Highness King Yu."

Gao Jing raised his eyebrows: "Uncle's?"

After thinking about it, Amang said: "The taller one, the slave girl heard that he reported his family name, he seems to be called... Lu Yi."

Gao Jing had heard of this name once, he pursed his lips, and smiled strangely after a while: "So that's the case, Uncle really has a heart. It seems that I have to go to Prince Yu's Mansion someday."

Supplementary settings: The setting of Helan Mingyue Baiskin refers to the theory that the Xianbei people originated from the East Daxing’an Mountains, and they should be considered as Northeast Asian races. In addition, when the Xianbei Murong family founded the country during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Fu Jian in the former Qin Dynasty used to call Murong The surname is "Bailu", and Fu Jian himself is of the Di nationality, that is, the appearance of the Mongolian race. According to this derogatory name, I can reasonably guess that the Xianbei people have a more Caucasian appearance. The outline is deep and the skin is light, so I wrote it like this .
