Vendetta

"Have you... really thought about it?"

"There is nothing to consider." Yan Zhu put down the pen in his hand, picked up the jade seal next to it, dipped it in the inkpad, and stamped it on the bright yellow imperial decree, "In the past three years, we have eliminated traitors and reformed evils. Hu...you have done everything you need to do, and the Fifth Prince has grown up. This year, in the court, many government affairs have unique insights, and you can already see the air of a king in handling things. With Prime Minister Ding and Prime Minister Hu assisting you, there is nothing to worry about."

Yan Zhu got up, walked to the desk, behind the screen in the imperial study room, the picture of the beauties remained unchanged, the people in the painting seemed to be watching him, and those witty willow-leaf eyes seemed to have a lot to say.

Yan Zhu's eyes softened, and his star pupils were full of yearning: "The emperor is my responsibility, but not my destination. Now that the world is at peace, my responsibility is about to be fulfilled, so I naturally have to leave."

Yan Zhu no longer called himself "Zhen", but called himself "I". Li Zhong knew that Yan Zhu's mind had been made up, he could watch Yan Zhu walk step by step to today, see him rule the world, and now he wants to hand over the throne, He still couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty might as well think about it more..."

"Li Zhong, it is often said in the world that the emperor is the son of the real dragon and the emperor of the ninth five years. Everyone wants to be this seat and supreme power, right?" Yan Zhu turned around and said to Li Zhong: "You can be the emperor , must it be happier than being a commoner? My father, the emperor, was an emperor all his life. He seemed to be an emperor, but he was restrained by the Han family everywhere. He doted on Concubine Han for a lifetime. He was also harmed by Concubine Han, and when he left, there was no one around him. Didn’t my father feel resentful? The imperial court’s ills have lasted for 20 years, so he really didn’t know anything about it?”

Li Zhong looked at Yan Zhu, Yan Zhu chuckled lightly, shook his head, and said, "Father grew up in the palace, and he also experienced the struggle for succession. Is there any trick he can't see? But he just wants to Anan kept the dragon chair firmly, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb, but I am different from him, I can do what he can't do."

"I succeeded to the throne not because of power, but because the world needs peace. Someone expected me to change the injustice, seek balance for the world and the court, and make a living for the people of the world. Now it has been realized..." Yan Zhu said The pictures of beauties on the wall were collected and carefully rolled up, "In the past three years, what I saw and thought in my dreams every day were all outside the palace walls. The past ten years on Huoshan Mountain are more beautiful than those in the palace. The memory in the book is deeper, I have nothing to miss in the capital, but I also yearn for a free life, not to mention—”

Yan Zhu smiled, and put away the precious painting, "There is still someone waiting for me."

Li Zhong fell silent, no more persuasion, Yan Zhu stood by the window, on the layers of glazed tiles of the imperial palace, there was a blue sky, the blue sky was like washing, and there were a few clouds floating in the sky, moving slowly with the wind.

Yan Zhu's heart, which had been silent for three years, was beating extremely violently at this moment.

He took off the twelve-pronged crown on his head, took off the dragon robe, and put on the green robe. With the Kunwu sword on his waist, he felt light. He had finally let go of the responsibilities he had shouldered for so many years. .

The grand ceremony of the new emperor's ascension to the throne was huge, and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered to kowtow to His Royal Highness Jin Luan.

Yan Zhu was wearing this Tsing Yi, standing in front of the fifth prince, and put the glittering golden twelve-pronged crown on the fifth prince's head.

The fifth prince stood in front of the officials with a solemn expression, the sword was out of its sheath, and the jade was ready. His eyes were like torches. Although he was still childish, he could already see a bit of majesty between his brows.

At this time, the sky suddenly appeared, and the multicolored auspicious clouds were illuminated, which was an auspicious omen of the purple air coming from the east.

Yan Zhu nodded in relief and said, "I'll leave it to you from now on."

The fifth prince said: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of my brother!"

Yan Zhu said: "You must live up to the people of the world."

The new emperor held a banquet in the palace at night. It was late at night, the lights in the palace were brightly lit, and the glazed tiles were shining brightly, but there was silence outside the palace gate, except for a bright moon.

Torches were lit at the gate of the city, Yan Zhu was standing at the foot of the city, leading a horse, Ding Huai and Li Zhong were standing beside him.

Li Zhong knelt down and kowtowed respectfully. He is now the commander of the imperial guards in the capital, and he is an official ordered by the court. He is not allowed to leave the capital without a reason. From now on, he can no longer follow Yan Zhu around.

Yan Zhu helped Li Zhong up, and said, "It's been hard work these years."

Li Zhong's eyes turned red: "It's my honor to be able to serve you."

Yan Zhu smiled, patted Li Zhong on the shoulder, and said: "Our fate as monarch and minister is over, but we can still be friends in the future, don't worry about me, you all cherish each other."

Ding Huai asked: "He has been missing for the past three years, where are you going to find him?"

Yan Zhu smiled and said: "If you want to see it, you will see it naturally, do you have something you want me to bring to him?"

Ding Huai was wearing a first-rank official uniform, but still holding the fan, thought for a while and said, "Thank him for me."

If it wasn't for Fu Ling that day, Ding Huai might still be in a daze until now, where would he have the opportunity to stand in the court and display his ambitions?

"it is good."

Yan Zhu nodded in agreement, then got on his horse and left the iron barrel-like capital under the moonlight.

Wufu Restaurant——

"It can be said that the situation in the court is changing. I believe you have heard that the third prince who succeeded to the throne three years ago actually gave way to the fifth prince. The five-colored auspicious cloud on the enthronement ceremony, the purple air coming from the east, is a sign of auspiciousness that has never happened in a hundred years. Now There are various reasons for the succession of the new emperor, and there are various speculations..."

The storyteller was spitting all over the place, shaking the fan in his hand, but he paused several times, refusing to finish his words, frequently whetting people's appetites, the impatient judge downstairs couldn't help but patted the table and asked: "Why? You said it!"

The storyteller stroked his beard, fanned himself twice, drank half a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and said unhurriedly: "I heard that the third prince has worshiped Huoshan for ten years, and his swordsmanship is superb. In fact, he has no intention of being emperor, he yearns for the Jianghu, and wants to compete with Fuling, the number one swordsman in the world today!"

There was a lot of exclamation downstairs, and everyone was discussing, just now the person continued to ask: "I heard that the relationship between the two people is very close, how can they turn their swords back to each other?"

The storyteller laughed loudly and said: "Everyone, don't worry, wait for the little old man to explain in detail..."

In the private room upstairs, Yan Zhu was dressed in Tsing Yi, sitting alone in front of the mahogany table, with a set of celadon tea set in front of him, and a white porcelain plate filled with a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, the sweet scent of sweet-scented osmanthus mixed with the tea in the cup together.

There was a lot of voices downstairs, but the private room was very quiet. The window in the room was open, and there was wind outside the window, rustling the leaves outside the restaurant.

Yan Zhu tasted the tea carefully, as if all the discussions of the people outside the room had nothing to do with him.

I don't know how long I sat there, there was a little bit of a different kind of fragrance in the air, which was coming in from the window, blending into the fragrance of tea and sweet-scented osmanthus.

Yan Zhu's hand holding the celadon cup paused suddenly, then he smiled, picked up the teapot, and poured another cup of tea into the cup.

There was a sound outside the window, and the person in black was leaning against the window lattice, with one leg already stretched into the room.

Those beautiful willow-leaf eyes looked in, only to hear him say: "Yan Shaoxia, what a coincidence?"

"Fu Shaoxia, it's a pleasure to meet you." Yan Zhu said: "But it's not a coincidence, I came here specifically to find you."

Fu Ling rolled her eyes, and said, "It just so happens that I came to see you too, can Yan Shaoxia let me in for a while?"

While speaking, Fu Ling had already jumped into the house, Yan Zhu smiled and said, "Please."

From then on, the mountains and rivers were magnificent and the world was prosperous. They went hand in hand and became a pair of carefree knights. For the rest of their lives, they would be dependent on their love.
