Ten years seem to be slow but really fast, and they have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past ten years, Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang have never been separated no matter what they have experienced, and Zhang Yuliang's love for Cheng Dan has never changed.

Zhang Yuliang's pampering year after year, and Cheng Dan's sly pampering and arrogance are all enviable.The two had never blushed or quarreled, but occasionally someone provoked Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang's cold eyes.

People in the world often say that true love is rare, but they are an exception.

Although there are occasional twists and turns in the relationship between the two, it is generally smooth. Even if Zhang Fang wanted to stop it, he couldn't do it.Later, Zhang Yuliang's status became stronger, Zhang Fang had no choice but to give up the plan of interfering in his relationship and let him do as he pleased.

Ding Xingwang is a member of the Zhang family branch, so it is not a problem to pick out a few talented juniors to train.

After ten years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Zhang Yuliang went from a third-rank inspector to a first-rank Taifu. His official position changed again and again, but his own time seemed to be frozen in the best years, and he could hardly see the slightest change. That Zhang Jiatianjiao, a young Gaoshi with a transcendent and talented personality.

However, his unchanging does not mean that he will accomplish nothing in his official career.On the contrary, he is the fastest rising civil servant since the founding of the Yong Dynasty.

As soon as Zhang Yuliang entered the court, he was a third-rank inspector. He could impeach hundreds of officials and supervise various local affairs. He took office for less than half a year, and he uncovered dozens of bribery incidents and helped the government to settle Several unjust, false and wrongly decided cases have made outstanding achievements.

A year later, Zhang Yuliang was promoted to the third-rank censor, directly responsible to the emperor, holding a Tianzi sword bestowed by the emperor, and had the privilege of beheading first and playing later.During his two years as Yushi, the court was clear and bright, and officials who had faced his impeachment expressed their conviction.

He is not as sharp-tongued as other censors who save face in person. Instead, he will organize the matter of impeachment and submit it to His Majesty in private, and then catch the impeached person by surprise.

Think about it, when you think that what you have done is perfect and no one knows, will you be scared when a team of policemen or imperial guards suddenly rush in to invite you into the palace for tea, or want to arrest you? Have to get over it?

If the other censors were firecrackers, then Zhang Yuliang was a well-hidden trap in the middle of the road.Stepping into it suddenly is enough to make one feel overwhelmed with pain.

During that time, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty all acquiesced to one thing: Zhang Yuliang himself was more terrifying than the Emperor Sword given to him by His Majesty.

Having sat in the position of censor for two years and accumulated enough qualifications, Zhang Yuliang was finally promoted again in the anticipation of everyone. It made some officials who were cautious and dishonest in their family backgrounds despair.

It is said that on the day Zhang Yuliang became Yushi Zhongcheng, the expressions of Manchu Wenwu were so wonderful that His Majesty laughed out loud.

Zhang Yuliang sat on the position of Yushi Zhongcheng for five full years, devoting himself to it, never slacking off for a single day.He fought against countless corrupt officials, and was targeted and isolated by hundreds of officials many times because of his admonitions.For a long time, officials in the DPRK and China almost forgot that he was just a teenager, and treated him as a peer, and there were endless ways to deal with him.

Zhang Yuliang will fight with his colleagues in the court every day, tit for tat, using his natural eloquence to the extreme, and will not give up until he wins.

But after he came down to the court, he would turn back to that gentle and elegant young man, with a dusty look in every gesture, so there were many officials who had a close personal relationship with him on the one hand, and on the other hand were at odds with him in political affairs The situation is ridiculous.

It wasn't until two years ago that Zhang Yuliang resigned from the position of Yushi Zhongcheng and paid homage to the first-rank Taifu that the tense atmosphere in the court was slightly relieved.

Today, Zhang Yuliang has reached the peak of his official career.

There is no way for him to rise up, and it is impossible for him to go down, but he is so young that many people secretly feel that in the next few decades, the entire court will be ruled by him alone.If he intervenes in the scientific examination and cultivates party members, there will be no one in the great Yong Dynasty who can check and balance him.

But at this moment, Zhang Yuliang chose to submit a letter to resign, which shocked everyone.

"Zhang Qing really don't think about it anymore?" His Majesty sat high on the dragon chair, the swaying light and shadow of the pearl made his expression blurred, and his voice could not be heard.

"I have made up my mind to go." Zhang Yuliang has already taken off his official uniform, wearing plain white linen, his demeanor is becoming more and more ethereal, "I wish your Majesty the best."

"..."

There was a long silence in the Golden Luan Hall, His Majesty closed his eyes tiredly, and waved his hand to signal him to back down.

"Let's go."

……

Two days ago, Cheng Dan's life came to an end.

Zhang Yuliang abandoned chores, left everyone behind, took him back to Tingyu Pavilion where he lived in Linchu, sat under the old peach tree, and held him to admire the flowers all over the courtyard.

"Zhang Yuliang, I'm sleepy..."

Ten years have passed, and Cheng Dan is still the boy he was when we first met him, his complexion is pale, without a trace of paleness and haggardness of a dying person, as if he really just feels sleepy and he will be fine after a night of sleep.

"Tuantuan, stay with me for a while longer." Zhang Yuliang lowered her head and kissed his drooping eyelashes, still smiling to herself, but her tone was a little choked up, "Look, the flowers in the yard are blooming so well, it's all because of you taking care of them The results, don't you want to see more?"

Cheng Dan barely raised his eyelids, but his vision was blurred. When he looked up at Zhang Yuliang, he could only faintly see the tears in his eyes.

Although he was psychologically prepared, when the moment of separation came, not only Zhang Yuliang, but also he felt a heartache.

Ten years hastened, although enough memories have been created, but for those who love each other deeply, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Cheng Dan also wanted to go with Zhang Yuliang to see the apricot blossoms and light rain in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the small bridges and flowing water, and the lonely smoke and yellow sand in the desert beyond the Great Wall.

But he was running out of time.

"Don't cry, you promised me." Cheng Dan raised his hand to touch his wet long eyelashes, curled his lips, showing an aggrieved expression.

He knew that Zhang Yuliang hated his wronged appearance the most.

In the past, every time Cheng Dan got into trouble, or had something he wanted to do but couldn't do, or something he wanted but couldn't get, he would deliberately look aggrieved, and Zhang Yuliang would go forward to cheer him up. fulfill his wish.

"Little lazy cat, you always like to make things difficult for me." Zhang Yuliang leaned against his profile, her hoarse voice tinged with a little smile, "If I don't cry today, my heart will be flooded tomorrow."

"I'm going to make things difficult for you, who made you like me!" Cheng Dan showed a proud and complacent smile, his eyes bent into cute crescents, just like his usual trickery appearance.

But the next moment, he put away his smile again and gently held Zhang Yuliang's hand.

"You used to tell me this and that, but today it's finally my turn to tell you." Cheng Dan's tone was soft and soft, and his eyes slowly closed, "After I leave, you have to take good care of yourself , don’t forget to eat when you get busy, I’m not here to remind you, you have to remember it yourself.”

"I've organized the books in the study for you. New and old books are mixed together. After you finish reading, you must remember to put them back in place and organize them regularly. If you can't do it yourself, let Qinzhu do it for you. The study always needs It’s neat and clean, so you can feel like reading a book inside.”

"Officials are indifferent, and people's hearts are also indifferent. I'm gone. You need to find someone close to you to accompany you. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to be alone in the long days ahead. I think... the daughter of Qin Shangshu's family is very good. You can try Accept her."

"I... I wrote a wooden box... a diary, and put it in the drawer of the study. If you miss me, you can take it out and have a look. It contains the record of every day we have lived in the past nine years. It's just sad to read too much , you...don't look too much."

"Take care of your body, don't work so hard...you said, I will always be in your heart..."

Cheng Dan's voice became lower and lower, the last word was almost inaudible, and the hand holding Zhang Yuliang also let go and slipped down.

He lay in Zhang Yuliang's arms, pillowed on his shoulder, as if he had fallen asleep quietly.

Tears welled up in Zhang Yuliang's eyes, but they did not shed for a long time. After a long time, he responded softly.

"Tuantuan, what a dream."

When you wake up, I will ask someone to make your favorite "three-point plum blossom" for you.

……

After resigning from office, Zhang Yuliang took Cheng Dan's ashes and a box of items related to him, left the imperial capital alone, and traveled all over the world.

He went to the south of the Yangtze River to see the light rain of apricot blossoms in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the small bridges and flowing water, and then went north to the outside of the Great Wall to see the lonely smoke in the desert and the yellow sand for thousands of miles.

Kunlun Mountain is majestic and majestic, covered with white snow, Zhang Yuliang climbed to the peak alone with a sword, and saw the legendary Tianchi.That pool of clear water reminded him of Cheng Dan's eyes, so it was a worthwhile trip.

Seeing the vast sea to the south, and the dangerous dense forest to the west, Zhang Yuliang walked all over the world, whether it was beautiful or ugly, he saw seven or eight out of ten of the world's scenery.

Along the way, he left poems inspired by his feelings, articles with flashes of inspiration, and pictures that he got by chance.Inscriptions in the Peacock Tower, dissertations in the Confucius Temple, killing horse thieves in the desert, and reading scriptures in Taoist temples.

He spent half his life seeing the whole world, and never returned to the imperial capital.

In the last year of his life, Zhang Yuliang settled at the foot of Shu Mountain, opened a school, taught three or five boys, wrote several articles, and composed several poems.

He splashed ink on countless paintings, which he either gave or sold, but none remained. When he was dying, there was only one roll of paintings he made when he was a teenager.

There is snow in the painting, there are plum blossoms, and there is a desk. On the desk, there is a painting, and there are snow and plum blossoms in the painting.

Next to the two paintings inside and outside, there is a little black cat with a lazy expression.That was the best moment in his memory, when he met for the first time, and his love was still there.

Now, all he has left is this painting.

Zhang Yuliang has no regrets in this life.

He once worshiped a first-class official, once faced his lover day and night, traveled all over the world, and traveled north and south.

Joy and sorrow have their own gains.

His life was very fulfilling and unusual.So when it was over, his mood was very calm.

Sitting on the rocking chair, Zhang Yuliang unfolded the painting scroll, caressed the little black cat on the painting with wrinkled hands, and suddenly smiled lightly from the bottom of his deep eyes.

"Tuantuan, I followed your advice and took good care of myself..."

The rocking chair swayed slowly, making a slow "squeak" sound.

"The gardens in Suzhou are excellent, the West Lake in Hangzhou is extremely beautiful, the Tianchi Lake in Kunlun Mountain can soothe people's hearts, and the magnificence of the Northwest Desert is shocking..."

The afternoon sun reflected Zhang Yuliang's pupils like glass.

"The cook who made 'Three Points of Plum Blossom' in Linchuju passed away the year before last. I wanted to take you there to eat again, but unfortunately I couldn't catch up. Yingfeng's health is getting worse and worse. I thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't go back see her..."

"Tuantuan, you forced me to live in this world for so many years, now, I really can't hold it anymore..."

Zhang Yuliang hugged the scroll, her eyes were closed before she finished speaking.

The sun shines on his peaceful face, and a sweet dream is vaguely reflected from the smile on his lips.

In the dream, he saw his long-lost sweetheart.
