The night is as clear as water, and the stars are as light as fireflies.Le-Wen-At four o'clock, the lights in the deep palace became sparse.

The Qiongchang Temple was quiet, and the mercury-like moonlight crawled in through the gaps in the red windows, spread from the ground to the bed pavilion, and shone on the sleeping face of the child, making the corners of the mouth crystal clear.

When Liang Rui first entered the palace, he was timid and often cried at night, startling sleep.Liang Han placed him on his dragon bed and slept in his arms until dawn.

That night, the emperor did not return to the palace, so Liang Rui had to sleep alone in the warm pavilion. In the second half of the night, he had a nightmare of drowning and woke up crying.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw shadows of flames shining outside the window, and smelled a burnt smoke in his nostrils.If he could hear the sound, he would know that there was chaos outside the Qiongchang Hall, and many palace guards were running around shouting: "It's water!"

The door of the bedroom was knocked open by the imperial guards, and a little eunuch stumbled in and picked Liang Rui up from the bed: "Your Highness, leave with me, this place is on fire!"

Liang Rui looked at this person with strange eyes, but he could distinguish the word "fire" through his lips, and without any delay, he let the other person lead him away from the Qiongchang Palace.

The ferocious fire spread from the sleeping hall to the main hall, and the vast night sky was licked black and red by the flames, half of the sky was burnt up.A large number of palace guards were mobilized by Chu Qing and put into the ranks of carrying water.Everyone worked together and finally controlled the fire before burning down the main hall.

However, the Qiongchang Palace is still unavailable.Although the main body of the building has not collapsed, the roof and wall pillars of the hall are as black as carbon. This time, the Ministry of Industry has something to do.

Looking at the window that was emitting residual smoke, Chu Qing wiped the ashes from his face, and asked the eunuch in charge, "Why is there such a big fire all of a sudden?"

"It's the candlestick under the window that fell down. It's another coincidence tonight, the maid in charge slipped away, no one noticed it was so big." The eunuch bowed again and again, "The old slave must be good at cleaning up those little bastards! Commander, you have to help the little one to say a few words in front of the Long Live Lord, this is really an accident..."

"Come on, fortunately there were no casualties. The emperor should be in a good mood tonight, so he won't want your head." Chu Qing brushed off the dirt on his head, "By the way, where is the eldest son of the emperor? Are you not surprised?"

"I took it to the side hall when the fire just started, it should be fine."

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch ran over in a panic, threw himself on the ground, and screamed in a crying voice: "It's not good, Chief Manager, Your Highness...he's gone!"

The eunuch in charge rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing also realized that the situation was serious.If something happens to the emperor's heart, no one in this palace will be able to take it easy.

There was a fire in the Qiongchang Palace and the disappearance of the eldest son of the emperor. It was a coincidence that these two events collided.She didn't dare to delay, and immediately dispatched a fast-tracked letter to the emperor, and at the same time organized the imperial army to search for people nearby.

The two people in the imperial study had just ended their ecstasy.

Liang Hao seemed to have been hollowed out, and limp in Yan Chongjin's arms weakly, teasing prostrably: "You have accumulated a lot, and I will be filled up."

The other party lowered his eyes and smiled, silently wiped his body with the hem of his clothes, and rearranged his clothes.

Seeing that this person still wanted to leave, Liang Han summoned up the courage to wrap his arms around the other person's waist, and said in a firm voice, "Don't run away from me, and don't run away from yourself. I will bear all the difficulties with you."

Yan Chongjin was stiff all over.

The meaning of these words... Do you want to entangle your courtiers in the name of a monarch? !

He is a person who has died once, and he is not afraid of all kinds of difficulties, only afraid of making mistakes again and again.Not to mention whether Liang Han would be mad if he knew his identity, even if he could forgive him, he didn't want to be a sycophant, and Liang Han couldn't be a fool.

If you can't stay together, don't make mistakes.If he really led the emperor astray, he would personally cut off the road and stop the other party's thoughts!

Pulling away the hands on her waist, Yan Chongjin showed a sarcastic smile indifferently.

Under the cold moonlight, those eyes that were colder than the moonlight made Liang Han's heart shudder.

I...are you being self-indulgent?

This person came and went as soon as he said, without saying a word from the beginning to the end, let alone showing any liking.Perhaps, in the eyes of the other party, all this is just a game.His obsession, his shared adversity, are all jokes...

Looking at the face with all the blood gone, Yan Chongjin felt as if his chest had been dug out by sharp claws, it was empty inside, so numb that he didn't even feel pain.

He sighed, leaned over and hugged each other, and gave him one last kiss.

Liang Han, you will become a master of the world, and Yan Chongjin will always be an ugly minister by your side.All this was a mistake, but an absurd drunken dream.After dawn, forget about me.please.

This was an extremely lingering kiss, and the lips and teeth seemed to be mixed with all the tenderness and reluctance, but Liang Han was not immersed in it at all.

He knew it was farewell, because the other party wrote four words on his back with his fingers.One stroke at a time, one word at a time, as if with a determination engraved in the blood:

It will be indefinite later.

Liang Han staggered back and slammed into the desk behind him. His lower back hurt and he almost fell.

Sweeping away the hand extended by the other party, he leaned on the edge of the table to support his exhausted body, tried his best to straighten his spine, and showed a stiff smile: "...no...see you again."

Those who have no fate in life can't ask for it and can't keep it.As a man, as an emperor, he can put down his dignity and beg to stay, but he can't be shameless again and again.

There will be no period.He still remembers a line from that movie: Every time you say goodbye, you'd better use your strength.One more sentence, maybe the last one.Take one more look, possibly the last.

So until Yan Chongjin's figure disappeared, Liang Han's eyes widened and he refused to blink.

After all, it's the last side, every second you watch earns you a second.And there seemed to be something rolling in the eye socket, afraid that it would fall off in the blink of an eye.

Standing alone for a long time, Xia Rong's urgent voice was heard outside the Imperial Study Room: "Long Live Lord, something has happened. The Qiongchang Palace is on fire, and your Highness is gone!"

......

In the early morning of the next day, at three o'clock in the morning, the Dongying mission entered the palace to have an audience.

In the Fengtian Hall, Liang Hao raised his back to the throne, and received a group of envoys with his two panda eyes.

After performing the prostration ceremony, Saburo Ono handed in the letter of credence and presented the gift from the emperor to the emperor of Chunguo.

Liang Han frowned looking at the samurai sword known as the national treasure of Japan.

Soldiers are murder weapons.Little Japan gave him such an unlucky thing, did he really not understand etiquette or was he just trying to find fault?

He asked Xia Rong to take down the knife, gave the envoys of Dongying a seat and tea, and talked about the business: "I know what your lord means. I have no objection to the opening of the treaty ports. But I hope your country can also open up commercial port, and assist in the protection of the merchant ships of the Chun Kingdom."

Saburo Ono said: "His Majesty the Emperor Dachun, our country has opened trading ports for the Chun Kingdom and the countries in the South China Sea, but due to its weak national strength, it is difficult to escort merchants."

Not capable of escorting but capable of robbery, right?Liang Han sneered in his heart, and said calmly: "In this case, I, Dachun, will be responsible for the route from Chunguo to Dongying, and my court navy will also collect the protection fee. Is there any objection?"

When he asked for money, Saburo Ono stuttered: "This, this... I have to report to His Majesty the Emperor before I can make a decision."

"You can't be the master." Liang Hao smiled, "By the way, go back and tell the king that if he is unable to manage the gang of Japanese pirates, I will also take care of it."

The seven envoys all showed displeasure when they heard the words, but they had nothing to refute.After all, this is the grandson of the emperor himself, and he has to pretend to be on his knees.

Saburo Ono avoided the sensitive point, and asked in a roundabout way: "The sea is vast, and the Japanese bandits are scattered. It is extremely difficult to encircle and suppress them by guerrilla warfare. I wonder how His Majesty Chun Emperor plans to deal with the Japanese invasion?"

"There is no need for your envoy to worry about that." Liang Hao put away his smile, and his face suddenly became stern, "But the ugly thing is that I am different from the first emperor, and I am not a benevolent and filial ancestor. I will not continue the practice of forgiveness in the past. No Let’s talk about the compensation for the redemption of prisoners. All Japanese pirates, regardless of male, female, old or young, regardless of their origin, as long as they set foot on my Dachun territory, they will be killed without mercy!”

As soon as he said a word, not only the envoys of Dongpu, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty trembled collectively.

Liu Tiance, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, secretly poked Pei Ziyi next to him: "Why is the emperor so angry today? Is it because the Qiongchang Palace is burned?"

Pei Ziyi blinked: "I think it's more murderous, what do you think, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Chongjin nodded vaguely: "A little bit."

Of course he knew why Liang Han was unhappy.Liang Rui had been missing for more than an hour, and Chu Qing almost mobilized all the imperial guards, and even started to salvage the pool in the imperial garden.Liang Han can still pretend to be fine now, patiently receiving foreign envoys, which is rare among young people.

After seeing the small movements of several ministers, Tan Taiye pursed his lips and smiled, and turned his gaze to the center of the hall again.

Ono Sanlang managed to maintain his composure, and replied with a dry smile: "Your Majesty is serious. The two countries are neighbors across the sea, and they communicate with each other. It is inevitable that some young people will cause foreign affairs friction. Whether it is the redemption of prisoners or the exchange of hostages, it has lasted for a long time. How can a century-old habit be abandoned as soon as it is said?"

Liang Han narrowed his eyes: "The lenient and generous treatment that has lasted for hundreds of years has been exchanged for the Japanese invaders who are becoming more and more fierce every year. This kind of practice is not necessary." Dongying people are afraid of authority and do not cherish morality. It is not etiquette at all. Kindness can teach.History has also proved many times that this is a nation that bullies the weak and fears the strong. The better you treat him, the more he pushes his nose in the face, throws an atomic bomb down, and immediately kneels and licks you for 100 years.

So he knew from the beginning that he had to be tough to deal with the Japanese pirates, and whenever the Central Plains people showed a little weakness, the jackals would show their ferocious minions.

Saburo Ono didn't expect that the young Emperor Chun's style of painting would change so quickly. He was drinking with kindness last night, but today's attitude is so tough.He struggled and said: "I heard that there is a saying in the Central Plains that it is better to settle enemies than to tie them up. Suppressing them by force may make the Japanese pirates rebound even more. Besides, there are also slaves from various countries among the Japanese pirates, so..."

"No matter what country you come from, as long as you come off the Japanese pirate ship, you will die." Liang Han said with a serious face, "If your envoy still doesn't understand, I will give you an extreme example. Leave him a whole body."

The complexions of the seven people changed dramatically, and one of them immediately stepped out, uttering a series of stern words.

Liang Han only understood the two sounds of Baga, and looked down at the officials of the Translation Institute.The other party was kneeling on the ground trembling, not daring to translate a word.

Standing behind, Chi Han said: "Your Majesty, he said that you are an ignorant, rude, arrogant fool. Are you tired of insulting His Majesty the Emperor?"

After saying this, the whole hall was silent.

Yan Chongjin sent a voice transmission to someone: "Do something?"

Chi Han raised his eyebrows and replied, "Hit me if you have the ability."

Yan Chongjin clenched his fists and sneered, "Don't go down."

Liang Han stared at the envoy who spoke harshly, and waved silently.

The guards in the palace dragged the man out like lightning, and cut him in half on the spot.

The bright red warm blood splashed on the jade wall in front of Fengtian Hall, scaring the faces of all the Dongying people to turn pale.Ono Saburo trembled and said: "The two countries will not kill the envoy even if they are at war, please His Majesty Chundi think twice."

"Envoys, diplomatic relations are the most important thing, and etiquette is the first. What kind of emissary is he? Or are you Dongying envoys all ignorant of dignity and human speech? I am the same king as the emperor, and it is not unreasonable to use him as an example. That’s right. A little servant dares to swear words and commit crimes, so what kind of place is this place!”

Liang Han's murderous aura was overwhelming, and the meaning behind his words was very clear: What do you seven gourd babies want?On the land of Chun Country, don't you know who is the grandfather?

Ono Saburo smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, touched his cold waist, and didn't dare to speak anymore.

He figured it out.The previous emperors of the Chun Kingdom always boasted that the heavens were the upper kingdom, and believed that Dongying was a barbarous land where the officials and the people were vulgar and lacked etiquette, so they always responded with tolerance to the envoys' offenses.But now this person is obviously a person who doesn't suffer from inside and outside, and if he continues to fight hard, the other party will definitely dare to kill.

"It's an act of provocation for you to visit with a warship and present a murder weapon as a gift. I didn't say it, but it doesn't mean that you can make an inch and spit shit on this golden palace!"

"Your Majesty calm down, I am humble and guilty."

Seeing that the stabbing head was honest, Liang Hao signaled Xia Rong to hand over the letter of credence: "I prepared the emperor's reply last night. I welcome business with Chunguo; I also welcome war with the Central Plains. Choose the former or the latter." Or, let him weigh himself."

Saburo Ono was sweating coldly.

The other party returned their credentials last night, didn't they already see through the purpose of their party?

The land of Dongying is narrow and densely populated, and its products are poor. It has always been coveted by the prosperity of the Central Plains.When the emperor sent his envoy to Lai Chun this time, he really had the intention of giving courtesy first and then serving soldiers.If Emperor Chun agrees to open the treaty ports, everything is easy to talk about.If he does not agree, the emperor does not mind ordering the people of the whole country to become Japanese pirates.Unexpectedly, the other party not only agreed happily, but also gave him a big slap as a warning, which made his face hurt.

Between countries, they are either friendly or hostile. There is no such thing as giving you trade and robbing you at the same time.Liang Hao took the lead in showing two hands of cards, just to force the emperor to make a choice, and stop playing double-faced tricks.

He also knew that the opponent did not have the guts to fight Chun Guo head-on.If Little Japan really had the strength to attack the whole country, how could it only dare to use the Japanese pirates as a shield to make a small fuss?

Next, the two sides discussed the trade details.The remaining six envoys didn't dare to do anything wrong again, and they all asked and answered respectfully until the end of the interview.

Finally, Liang Hao ordered the guards to bring in a large red lacquer and gold box.When the lid was lifted, a radiance was immediately reflected inside.

Among the thick rice wadding, lay a dozen glass products of various shapes, including crystal pots, goblets, embossed fruit plates, glass mirrors... Saburo Ono's eyes shined brightly.

"These special products are gifts from me and the emperor. I would like to ask some noble envoys to bring them to Dongying." Liang Han urged, "The glass is exquisite and beautiful, but fragile and fragile. Just like the friendship between countries, both parties need to maintain it sincerely. Please also Keep it safe all the way, and don't let me down."

The author has something to say: The envoys of Dongying kowtowed their heads to thank His Majesty Chun, "Long live, long live, long live!"

The ancient people's name festival is big.The monarch's reputation in Qing history is more important than anything else, so Yan Chongjin will not delay Liang Han.

On this issue, the generation gap between the two is not 14 years old, but thousands of years.
