Shanglin Night Snow

Although things have passed, the pain of losing his mother has not faded away in King Jia's heart: seeing other people going forward and acting as usual, it is hard to hide the sadness looming between the brows, it is unbearable to see, but there is no way to comfort it.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Shao Jingheng was surprised.

As soon as he mentioned it, Guo Kai suddenly felt strange: King Jia came from Xuande Gate, so he didn't come back from the palace? (King Jia was young, and because of the empress dowager's preference, although he was crowned king early, he still lives in the confinement.)

Unexpectedly, King Jia's next words surprised the two of them: "Xiao Wang has been living outside the palace since today, and today he is entering the palace by order." (1)

Shao Jingheng was surprised: "If so, why didn't you hear anything before?"

Jia Wang was ashamed: "Because I was in a hurry to leave the palace, and I knew my cousin was busy when he was near, so I thought we would meet again, so I didn't send someone to tell me."

Shao Jingheng frowned when he heard the words, hesitated to speak several times, and finally turned into a sneer: "That's fine. The outside is relatively forbidden, or quieter. You are peaceful, so living outside is a good thing."

King Jia nodded: "What brother said is also what I think."

But for some reason, when these words fell into Guo Kai's ears, there was always a sense of insincereness.

The sun is already a little glaring.

Shao Jingheng bid farewell to King Jia: "I still have military affairs on my body, let's take a step first, Your Highness will enter earlier, don't teach me to wait for a long time." Turning to Guo Kai: "If General Guo is fine, he should return to the Yamen earlier, Ban Yue said It’s not short, but if you go back and forth to the south of the Yangtze River, it’s really not a lot of money.” Seeing the man stunned, he smiled again: “I forgot to mention it, the weather is getting warmer, and [-]% of the frogs around Yanjing are still dragging their tails. , the remaining [-]% may have been taught to the country urchins to hunt them down and roast them all, because to find frogs, you must go to the south of the Yangtze River recently. You can go back and forth in about ten days, and the remaining two or three days are used to fight behind closed doors. , it’s just right.”

Guo Kai secretly pinched his fingers, and found that, as he said, the days are pretty much the same.For a moment, I thought to myself that this person from Shao speaks about leaping frogs in a clear and logical way. Is it possible that, in addition to the former secretary of Yingmao Palace, he still makes a living by selling water?It is also because of this that she has been traveling in the abacus beads for a long time, so she is so shrewd and treacherous!

His figure had gone away, Guo Kai raised his hand to caress his forehead, and waved away the jumping frog shadows, then he began to ponder what he said: If there is something wrong on the way to the south of the Yangtze River, or the frog catch is not going well, isn't it? Fall short?Suddenly felt throbbing pain in the forehead: Is it possible that this is still a fire pit after all?It's a pity that he is so eloquent that he even makes himself grateful to Dade willingly to jump.

"General Guo, General Guo!" The voice in his ears seemed disturbed, "You...what happened to you?"

Guo Kai turned his head and met those clear eyes like water, he suddenly felt his heart throbbing, mixed feelings, but he didn't know where to start (besides, such unlucky things are really hard to say), so he said plainly: "It's a small matter, Your Highness doesn't need to talk about it." Concern. However, Guo couldn't bear to see His Highness's loss, so he took the liberty to persuade him that the past is over, His Highness must not blame himself, thinking that this is not what the deceased wanted to see."

King Jia nodded: "Xiao Wang remembered, thank you General for your kind words."

Guo Kai's ears warmed up: "Don't dare, Guo is just saying something from the bottom of his heart. It's good for His Highness not to be too abrupt, but how dare you take the word 'thank you'? And if you want to say thank you, it should be Guo who thanked His Highness." , the imperial court speaks outrightly, save me from fire and water."

King Jia was taken aback: "How do you know that Xiao Wang pleaded for you?"

Guo Kai laughed: "If it wasn't for His Highness to testify before the imperial court, how could you convince the superiors that Guo was a single-minded escort and did not join forces with the rebels. He really turned against him only because he saw the general trend going east?"

"That's it...it makes sense." King Jia laughed, and saw two clouds of pink clouds on his cheeks, "The general needn't worry about it. If there was no general, Xiao Wang might have died in the chaos that day. The grace of saving life should have flowed from the spring." According to reports, besides, the general’s uprightness can be learned from the world, so how can the king’s heroic deeds be ignored? Xiao Wang just reported the truth to the imperial court, but fortunately, the officials are wise, with discerning eyes, and God’s will, the general is today.”

"God's will?" Guo Kai was puzzled when he heard the words.

"The general doesn't know?" Jiawang Nahan said, "I thought the general had already heard about it from his cousin..." He lowered his eyes and seemed to hesitate to speak.

Guo Kai was startled: Shao Jingheng?What does this have to do with him?Could there be another conspiracy?If you think about it, you will feel uneasy, and you will take two steps forward, and bow down: "Your Highness may not know that Guo is forgetful, what His Highness said, once Guo is lost, he may forget it, because at this moment, I hope His Highness will not hesitate to tell you. "

"This..." King Jia hesitated, but finally agreed: "Forget it, but in fact this is not a secret. Back then, the infantry commander had no leader, and the commander of the infantry was selected according to the public's recommendation. Three people were finally selected, one of them was You, General Guo, the other two are Wan Jing, Marquis of the Sidu in front of the palace, and Hong Kun, the commander of the Deputy Commander of the Ma Jun. On that day, both Xiao Wang and Cousin Shao were at your side, and the superior was unable to consider this matter, so he decided to roll the dice. The two of us were ordered to participate. When the round tossed five times, the officials tossed three times, my cousin and I each had one time. It was agreed that the number "one or two" was General Guo, "three or four" was Wan Jing, and "five or six" "It was Hong Kun. Unexpectedly, there were three tosses, two "twos" and one "one", and Xiao Wang hit Wan Jing. Seeing that the overall situation was settled, his cousin didn't throw any more, so the matter was settled like this Next. Because I said..." At this point, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me, and that's it.

Guo Kai turned his head and saw a yellow gate coming in a hurry, and immediately reported back: "Your Highness, the Secretary's new work (2) has been submitted, and the officials invite you to go and have a look."

Since the imperial edict came to urge him, King Jia didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly left Guo Kai and went inward.

Guo Kai walked out of Xuandemen, walked along Yujie Street, touched the tall hat on his head that was exchanged by throwing dice, and didn't know whether to sigh or laugh for a moment.While absent minded, the upturned mouth corners could not be pulled back for a long time, causing passers-by to stare sideways.

What he saw today actually pushed him back to the previous chaos: Is it possible that the so-called "inside story" from the beginning to the end was all made out of nothing by him, and he just wanted to speculate? ?The fact is that it was indeed Hou Chaozhong who forced the empress dowager to die that day, and Shao Jingheng was really his minister Zhongzheng?For a long time, have you treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?And the official move to Yuhou, the capital, is not some kind of restraint and calculation, or a struggle between the two parties, just because the official's luck is one, and three shots and three hits are the final word? ...

While he was in a trance, a blue shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and the next moment, something crashed into his arms.Guo Kai didn't have time to lower his eyes to take a closer look, the object had moved back a few feet, and it was still muttering - it was actually a person!When he came back to his senses, Guo Kai looked after him, only to realize that the other man was wearing a blue official uniform (3), and he was stroking his forehead with an uneven expression on his face.

"Yes—you?!" Their eyes met, and both of them stared.

When you go out today and encounter accidents, most of them are enemies!Thinking of the words in the Huangli calendar, Guo Kai couldn't help but sigh in a deep voice: You can escape past the first day of the new year, but you can't escape the fifteenth.
