King David asked the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan to take Solomon to the Gihon Spring not far from the city, where the priest Zadok would "anoint" Solomon as king.

"Ointment", or anointed, is poured or smeared with fragrant oil, milk, water or other objects, marking that the anointed person has introduced divine power or gods. In Israel, the crown is not necessary, and it is replaced by anointed, Equivalent to the crowning ceremony.

After completing the anointing, the priest Zadok blew the trumpet to announce the establishment of a new king to the peoples.

All the people cheered loudly and played cheerful flute music to celebrate King Solomon's enthronement.

The loud cheers in the city spread far and wide to the ears of Adonijah and his guests.

Hearing the sound of the trumpets one after another, Joab, who had taken refuge in Adonijah, had an ominous premonition: "What happened in the city, and why is there such a sound?"

As soon as the inquiry was over, the son of another priest who had taken refuge in Adonijah ran over in a panic: "King David...King David has appointed... Solomon has been appointed king, and...priests were anointed for him..."

In other words, it is impossible for Adonijah to inherit the throne unless he rebels now.

When the guests heard the words, they all stood up in fear, did not dare to stay any longer, and left in all directions.

They believed that Adonijah would ascend the throne and made friends with him, but now they have made Solomon king, and Adonijah's provocative behavior towards Solomon is well known, if they stay any longer, they will have to bear it The new king's fall queen has settled accounts, whoever is a fool will not slip away.

Adonijah finally came to his senses, King David would pamper him, but that doesn't mean Solomon would too!

Thinking of what he had done before, Adonija had a pale face, and firmly grasped the corner of the altar.

Only now did he understand that if it weren't for King David's tolerance, his behavior of recruiting troops and wooing officials could already be considered a crime of treason...

What should I do... That bastard... Solomon has never taken his elder brother seriously. If he wants to deal with him, he will definitely not hesitate to show mercy...

When Solomon brought Yelan, the prophets and priests anointed for him, and a group of servants and guards to the altar, he saw such a scene of embarrassment.

The silver plate containing delicious food was overturned, the golden cup filled with mellow wine rolled to the ground, the ground of the altar that should have been clean and white was full of overturned leftovers, and on the most honorable seat was a A shivering clown.

Seeing Solomon, Adonijah trembled, but immediately woke up from fear, and crawled humbly all the way to Solomon's feet, even though his clothes were stained with dirty vegetable juice and wine, even though his hands and knees were rough There was blood on the flagstone floor.

"Solomon, king... Please forgive my sins. From now on, I will be your most loyal servant, and I hope that the wise king will never kill his servant with a sword."

It wasn't that Solomon couldn't hear the word games he was playing, but everyone was begging for mercy, and if he tried harder, he would definitely gain a reputation for cruelty, which was a very serious fatal injury to the new king who had just taken office.

"Well, if you are a righteous person, all the past will never be blamed; but if you do evil, you will die."

"Thank you for your kindness... Solomon, King..."

Adonija was sent back to the mansion in a daze, but the guards who sent him back did not leave.

Naturally, it would not be free to offset the guilt of the past, and Adonija would have to spend the rest of his life under strict surveillance.

The new king's ascension to the throne naturally cannot be done in such a hasty way. It is the established process to entertain the envoys of all countries and take the opportunity to show their national strength.

From the sending of the invitation letter to the arrival of the envoys, it may take a month or two at the longest. Solomon had to prepare everything during this period, so as not to make other countries look down upon him.

However, compared to the complicated etiquette procedures, there was another thing that worried Solomon even more.

The agreement between him and Yelan was to let Yelan stay in Israel until he became the throne, and on the day he was anointed, the deadline had already come. The reason why Yelan hadn't left was probably because he hoped to see the banquet of the nations. On that day, I can safely appear in front of people as a king...

Solomon stroked the ring of ten that symbolized his own wisdom, but he had no idea how to stop Yelan from leaving.

These ten rings are said to have been worn by him since he was born, and they are the appearance of the wisdom bestowed by God. He was inspired so that he could think of a way to make Yelan stay willingly.

Yes, it must be willing.

That person said that the feeling that comes from the heart is the real emotion, so he must want to stay with his heart and stay with real feelings, otherwise, it will be meaningless.

The only reason - "I haven't understood the feeling called love", was also rejected by Yelan.

This "love" specifically refers to the envy and love between partners.

Therefore, Yelan's answer is this: "Even I don't understand this feeling, so I am not qualified and cannot tell you what love is; moreover, love is not to be sought from me, but to be found in your future partner." I found it on my body."

"You...why do you have to leave? Isn't it good to stay here and stay with me?"

"Life and death, we have always been together, but... the latter is hundreds, thousands of times more painful than the former... because the cherished person is no longer there, and I can't see him anymore. I can’t see his face, I can’t hear his voice anymore, I can’t feel his temperature anymore, all that’s left is a cold corpse that can’t move or laugh.”

The only exception is becoming a Heroic Spirit. As long as the human law continues to expand and the world continues to exist, it can be summoned and meet again.

But Yelan didn't dare to gamble, he didn't know what the rules and conditions for becoming a Heroic Spirit were, so he didn't dare to expect to see this child after Solomon's death.

"I don't want to see your death, so I can only choose to leave." Ye Lan hugged Solomon lovingly, "I also can't bear you, you are the child I raised, so I can't stand it, you died in front of my eyes. "

"But there's no need to leave now! I'm only in my twenties, and my life is still long. You can stay for a few more years..."

"Solomon, do you know...Even if the moth knows the danger of the flame, it can't help but be attracted by the brilliant light, approaching and approaching again, even if it is completely burned, it cannot leave."

"I am the moth, you are the dazzling and dangerous fire, now, you have just begun to shine, I can still resist the deadly temptation, and I can restrain myself not to come closer; I can predict , you will definitely become a virtuous king with a long history, and your light that has reached the pinnacle of life will definitely make me unable to leave, I can only look at you, keep looking at you, until you die, until I go crazy .”

"Whether you call me capricious or selfish, I don't want to taste the cold despair that erodes my bone marrow."

After hearing Ye Lan's words, Solomon understood that this time, he couldn't keep it any longer.

As he expected, Ye Lan came to bid him farewell on the night the state banquet ended.

"Really... are you not coming back? Not even once?"

Seeing Solomon's sad eyes, Yelan was silent.

"Next year...next fall, I will marry the princess of Egypt...won't you come to my wedding?"

Yelan hesitated.

Of course, he really wants to attend the child's wedding... Just come back once, just come back and take a look, it shouldn't be so deep in it that you can't extricate yourself...

"Then, late next summer, I'll be back...just this time, just this time."

"it is good."

Ye Lan left.

Solomon sat alone for a long time, his mind was blank and his expression was in a trance, as if there was no meaning for existence.

The next day, the servants who came to ask the king to meet the envoys from various countries ran out of the king's bedroom screaming.

That look has no emotion, no life, just like a doll.

But this scream finally caused Solomon's brain to restart.

No, it can't be like this... That person will come back next year, and won't want to see himself changed back to his old self...

Yes, I must continue to act, even if that person took away all my feelings, I must continue to act...

Because—he hoped so.

Over the next year, two major events occurred.

First, the death of King David.

Solomon and all the people wept sadly to send the former king back to God's side, but his heart was hardened.

The person said that death is a thousand times more painful than life and death, but the death of King David did not shake him in the slightest, let alone despair; but the departure of that person made him tremble. In the extremely frozen snow field, cold and shivering, it seems that the next second will die in this never-ending blizzard.

Second, Adonijah intended to marry Abishag, a Shunamite woman whom he had dedicated to King David, in order to gain the name of rebellion.

Solomon himself ordered him to be killed.

In my heart, there is still a frozen peace.

Ah, he lied to himself... Obviously, life and death are more painful and desperate than parting...

Solomon waited and waited and waited and waited.

At the beginning of summer, I haven't come back yet; don't worry, the time has not yet come.

At the end of summer, I haven't come back yet; it doesn't matter, it may be delayed on the road.

At the beginning of autumn, I haven't come back yet; well, let's postpone the wedding...

At the end of autumn, still haven't come back...

The king's wedding made celebrations sweep every corner of Israel and filled every people's heart with joy, but the protagonist's heart gradually died.

The second time, I lied to me again...

Holding the charming Egyptian princess in his arms, Solomon knew that he had to reproduce with this woman, which was his duty as a king and as a human being.

But why, the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air?

Why, hate touching this woman?

Disgust... is it, disgust...

If you don't know what to like, how can you know what to hate?

He "doesn't hate" that person's smile, "doesn't hate" that person's touch, it turns out that he "likes" it......

It turns out that it's not that he hasn't learned to love yet, but that he has already deeply remembered it in his heart from the very beginning...

The man said that love cannot be found in him, it must be found in a partner...  

Again, lied to myself...

I found love, but was taken away by that person, taken away by the person who never came back...
