Tower Moon GL

In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth year of Yuanlong. This year was a rare year of peace in the troubled times. There was no war, no gunpowder, and the only event recorded in history was Zhu Shiqi persuading the little puppet emperor to resign. He sent envoys to the south and handed over the letter of credence to Yang Zhixiao, and agreed to share peace, the sage king readily accepted.

As the gunpowder gradually faded, Yang Zhixiao also seemed to have suddenly opened up. Scholars who had not been valued by him since he started the army gradually entered the government and the opposition, the imperial examination system was restored, and various livelihood policies began to be promulgated one after another. The people in the south of the Yangtze River celebrated with their foreheads and hands, as if they really saw the shadow of the peaceful and prosperous age.

It's just—why doesn't the Holy King proclaim himself emperor?The leaders of the holy army, who had calmed down, suddenly began to pay attention to this problem. Although the status of the holy king in the south of the Yangtze River is already the emperor, he is not yet the emperor in name.It's an empty title, but that title carries a sacred connotation. Only the Son of Heaven is the supreme being who can command the world!The more these leaders think about it, the more anxious they become. The Long Live has been called, and the year has been set, but why didn't they take the last step?

As soon as all the people got together, they jointly played the play, asking the sage king to enthroned and set the country's name.Yang Zhixiao read the scriptures, nodded, and with a flick of a pen, he set the name of the country: Cheng.When the decree came out, everyone couldn't help being surprised. How come there is no news of the enthronement ceremony after the country's name has been set?Seeing again that the Holy King had no intention of enthroning as emperor at all, he joined hands on Zhezi again, but this time Yang Zhixiao turned black and ordered everyone not to mention enthronement again.

People in the world don't understand Yang Zhixiao's thoughts, but Gu Zhiqian understands that Yang Zhixiao was born as a farmer. In the eyes of these low-level people, the emperor is something out of reach, and they don't need an emperor in their lives. They only need land and survival .But the war deprived them of this simple right, so they rebelled, but their goal was only the land, and the small peasant thought in their bones was not eradicated.This is why they couldn't stand in Jiangnan at first.Now that the south of the Yangtze River has been leveled, Yang Zhixiao has gradually accepted the things of those scholars, but he still looks down on that set of things from the bottom of his heart, emperor?That's what those scholars are looking for, he doesn't need it!Now that he has great power, he can do whatever he wants, so who can force him to give him a title?The Holy King is quite good. According to those who have seen the former imperial palace, the scale of the Holy King’s Palace is even bigger than that of the imperial palace!And it is said that there are many people in the palace, and a group of people fight every day. He just thinks about these things and he has a headache. It's better to be in the Holy King's Mansion. There are not so many rules in the mansion. There is only one rule. That's right!The title of emperor is really of little value to him.

Gu Zhiqian, who also came from a farmer, could easily understand these points of view, but Xu Zhaohe didn't understand. In the joint booklet, his name was written at the top. He thought he could get credit for his support, but he was scolded by Yang Zhixiao After a pass, I was very resentful.He has become more and more sure that these farmers can't do anything at all, and he shouldn't be trapped by them!Thinking of this, he hastened his plan.

In June of the fourth year of Yuanlong, Concubine Mu gave birth to a child named Luochen. King Mu was overjoyed, held a grand banquet, and presented the letter to the Holy King, asking him to be crowned as his son.Xu Zhaohe already had three sons before, but they doted on this youngest son so much, everyone couldn't help but sigh that Princess Namu was really lucky, and it was a blessing in a previous life that a woman from a brothel could be so favored by King Mu.

Sheng Wang received the memorial, approved it readily, and asked his adopted son Zhilou to go to Hangzhou to visit instead of him.

Can't throw Hangzhou to go, half of the stay is this lake.

A handsome young man dressed in white, holding a gourd in his hand, lying drunk on the white embankment.

"After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is not the same as that of the four seasons!"

"Hahaha, do it!" He raised his head and straightened the wine gourd. He poured it too hard, and the wine overflowed and spilled on his robe.The drunkenness in her eyes deepened, she threw the wine gourd, put her sleeves under her nose and smelled it in a daze, then suddenly smiled foolishly.

She suddenly remembered that last year and today, she was also drunk, and ran to her sister's room while drunk, and fell asleep on the couch.When she got up the next day, her sister gave her a new dress. The quality of the clothes was ordinary. Now that she has become His Highness, the clothes on her body are also made of high-quality materials. It is no longer the original one.However, she seemed to smell the familiar breath again.

Standing up unsteadily, looking at the building opposite, Xu Zhaohe finally tore down the wall of the palace, and directly connected the West Lake to his own mansion.

wishful thinking!

Suddenly an unknown fire ignited in her heart, she kicked the wine gourd fiercely, after venting, she froze again, staring at the lake in a daze.

Just now, she saw her elder sister at the banquet, holding a child in her arms, smiling gently.At that moment, she really thought that her sister was very happy, but at the moment of eye contact, she still saw the sadness and despair.It hurt her eyes so much that she didn't dare to stay for a moment, and left the banquet in a hurry.

The breeze blew across her cheeks, and she was suddenly a little awake.Hatred came up again, but this time she hated herself. It turns out that she is still so immature and cowardly today!Obviously the most painful person is my sister, but the one who can escape is myself!What right does she have to drank her sorrows here?

"Your Highness."

A voice rang softly in her ears, and the chaotic sorrow and distress were smashed to pieces. She must wake up!

"There is news from the Lord Xin."

"what news?"

"Lord Xin said that he has no second thoughts about Long Live, and begged His Highness to trust him. He also said that he hadn't seen His Highness for many years, and wanted His Highness to go to Yangzhou to meet this time."

Zhilou raised her hands, and the breeze gently blew her hairband, adding a sense of loneliness and loneliness.

"Tell the Lord Xin that I will stay in Hangzhou for a while this time, but I will definitely go to Yangzhou when I leave. Let the Lord wait patiently."

"Yes."

The people behind left, she turned her head slightly, the lake was still peaceful, in a trance, she seemed to see a woman with wide sleeves dancing lightly.With a heartbeat, he moved a step slightly, but the woman disappeared again.

With a wry smile, she took a few steps to pick up the wine gourd, took another look at the lake, turned around and strode away.

"Ma'am, it's getting late, you should take a rest." Cai Ying carefully held the lamp, followed Ji Xunyue out of Luo Chen's house, and said with some concern, Ji Xunyue's face has been pale today .

"It's okay, you go and rest first." Ji Xunyue took the lamp and went to her room.Cai Ying was stunned, but still sighed helplessly, how could she not know the reason for Ji Xunyue's gaffe?It's just that now that you have a little son, everything, you can't go back, madam, she...how can she be lucky?

Ji Xunyue entered the room slowly, unexpectedly and expectedly, there was already someone in the room.

"Isn't it dark?" She only paused for a moment, then continued to close the door with her hands, walked over and put the lamp on the table, and the room suddenly lit up, reflecting that melancholy face.

"So what about the darkness, I'm not a child anymore, and I'm not afraid of the dark." Zhilou forced a smile, "Sister went to see...the child?"

For a moment, she really didn't know what to call that child, or in other words, since she had this child, she didn't even know how to face Ji Xunyue.Ji Xunyue is her elder sister. No matter whether that child should appear or not, she is still Ji Xunyue's child after all. She is not an unreasonable person, and she has no hostility towards that child, but she always feels that something has changed .In fact, the existence of this child shouldn't have had any effect on the relationship between the two of them. Apart from the fact that the child is Xu Zhaohe, Zhilou felt that he should be happy for his sister.

"En." Ji Xunyue staggered his eyes and sorted some clothes on his own.

"Sister... this child, what are you going to do?" Unable to sort out the messy thoughts in his mind, Zhilou could only continue the topic bluntly.

Ji Xunyue stopped what she was doing and was silent for a while before she said: "Since he has a hard life, with a mother like me, how can I blame him. Now, Xu Zhaohe has no interest in me, He is the only one I care about in this mansion, so let’s live with it. It’s just that Xu Zhao and this man are too thoughtful. He chose Luo Chen to be the heir, just to train a successor who has been controlled by him since he was a child. But , I can't let him succeed, I will take him away when I find the opportunity. Zhilou," she paused, and after a long pause, she continued softly, "You haven't given up yet, have you?"

Zhilou was taken aback for a moment, she didn't realize it for a while, Ji Xunyue was talking about her, or Zhiyue.However, no matter which one, she had no reason to hesitate.

"Of course not, sister, trust me, I will definitely take you away, you don't have to wait too long, Xu Zhaohe, I will make him pay the price!"

"Really, actually..." Ji Xunyue sighed and did not continue.

"Sister, but, what are you going to do in the future? Do you want to be alone and raise this child?" Although she couldn't bear to touch the wound in Ji Xunyue's heart, there are some things that must be clarified before her plan .

"Zhilou, before I met you, I had already thought about my future." Ji Xunyue suddenly turned her head to look at her, her tone was surprisingly calm, "Even without Xu Zhaohe, I would have married A man, bear a child for him, and spend his whole life like this. Maybe the only difference is what kind of man he is."

"Don't think that everything is unfair to me now, and don't attribute it all to your fault. This is my destiny, and this is what I have to bear alone. Zhilou, your growth and Ordinary women are different, and they probably don’t understand, but in fact, no matter what kind of background we women have, what kind of stories we will have, most of the final endings are the same, do we have any other choices?”

Zhilou was speechless for a while, Ji Xunyue was right, she accepted ideas different from ordinary women since she was a child, she never thought that her future would be spent in a husband and a child, what she yearned for was that kind of knight-errant Live a life like this, go to the end of the world with a sword.Perhaps this dream should have been eliminated from the daughter's mind long ago, but before she understood what kind of society and era this was, she had completely deviated from the normal growth track of daughters.Wrapped in men's clothing, she even forgot what the position of her daughter's family was like.

"Zhilou, I may be unlucky, but I am also an ordinary woman." Ji Xunyue smiled slightly. What she didn't say was that because of Zhilou, she could no longer change back to her ordinary self. If there is no Zhilou's lofty ambition to walk the world with a sword, even if there is, it is only in the distant childhood.After experiencing so many ups and downs, she is really tired. If possible, she just wants to nest in one place and stop wandering. She just wants to be with her.

Zhilou didn't speak, she tried hard to understand what Ji Xunyue meant, and she gradually understood.

In fact, they are really not people along the way.

Ji Xunyue, who has seen this truth clearly from this moment, has long since lost her entanglement with this point when she recalls the various past events of her youth many years later, but she always has regrets in her heart.If I had met Zhilou earlier, maybe everything would be right for them.But, in the end, there was nothing wrong with it.
