Reverse Junhou

Chapter 77 The tallest building [3]

Geese fly from north to south, maple forests are like fire, and golden osmanthus blooms earlier than in previous years.

The sycamore leaves on both sides of the long road fell to the ground, and the Nanfangbei City was full of clusters of golden scenery.

The young servants of the high-ranking families in Beijing pushed open the courtyard door one after another, and cleaned up the fallen leaves in front of the house.In the neighborhood of Dongshi where there are many mansions, only the huge house in the center has its gate closed tightly.

The courtiers and family members who lived in Dongshi usually took sedan chairs back to their residences, and they always walked around the road, deliberately avoiding the Wenfu mansion located in the middle of Dongshi.Since the 35th year of Yongping, when the whole family of the Wen family, who had power over the government and the public, was ransacked and beheaded, this place has become a taboo place for the imperial court.

The Holy Majesty did not decree to demolish the Xuanxie Langfang of Wenfu, but sent someone to seal the vermilion lacquer gate with a seal.This blood-splattered compound has stood in the imperial city for many years, and it is always vigilant to these Zanying families living in Dongshi.

In late summer, the lotus vines bloomed and withered, and the autumn of the second year of Chenglu came quietly.

A very unremarkable carriage drove out from the majestic gate of Yanfu Palace and galloped towards Nanfang.

Although the carriage was plain and unpretentious, the guards on duty knew who was sitting inside, so they stood at attention on both sides of the palace road and saluted the people inside the carriage.

Every two days, His Majesty's emperor's younger brother, the most honorable Tenth Highness in the palace, would leave the palace in this carriage and return to the palace after dark.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was a little tired today, Ah Shen put the peeled guava in front of His Highness's desk, and said with a smile, "Why is Your Highness so tired?"

Zhao Fenghui yawned, with an aggrieved face: "I fell asleep in the Fairy Hall a few days ago, and Fifth Brother fined me to copy "History" all night."

He closed his eyes, put on the gold-trimmed fox fur, and rested on the car.

Although Fifth Brother is the king of a country, he is more afraid of fairies.Instead of sleeping in the hall later, it's better to catch up on sleep now.

The carriage dangled for half an hour, passed through the streets and alleys, and stopped in front of an ordinary courtyard in Nanfang.

As soon as Habayashi Mamoru who was driving fastened the reins, the gate of the small courtyard opened to both sides, and a group of young children rushed out of the courtyard chirping.Zhao Fenghui seemed to be used to this for a long time, jumped out of the carriage, and grabbed the ears of the two boys: "Has the master let you go from school? What's the proper way to make a fuss here?"

"Oh, Brother Ten, it hurts—" one of the boys bared his teeth, and slapped Zhao Fenghui's hand vigorously, "Hiss, school is over early, the master is waiting for you inside—"

Before Zhao Fenghui could speak, a gentle male voice came from the courtyard: "Xiao Shi is here?"

Zhao Fenghui let go of his hand on the spot, and the two boys made faces at him one by one, and ran away laughing.

As soon as Zhao Fenghui raised his head, he saw Wen Xuechao leaning against the door, with an old book rolled up in his hand, patting his palms gently.She was still wearing the moon-white ribbon robe, white jade hair crown, and a pair of almond eyes slightly raised, looking at herself with a half-smile.

"Smiling tiger, old fox—" Zhao Fenghui snorted coldly, thought for a while, and then secretly added in his heart, "Hu Meizi."

Fortunately Fifth Brother was busy with political affairs today, so he didn't go out of the palace with him, otherwise, seeing the fairy like this, he would definitely not be able to look away again.

Wen Xue had a smile in his eyes, knowing that Zhao Fenghui was still angry with him.Yesterday he truthfully told Zhao Fengci about His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince falling asleep in the hall, judging by Zhao Fenghui's slightly green eyes, he was probably punished severely by Zhao Fengci.

Zhao Fenghui didn't dare to do it again today, and followed the fairy into the inner courtyard, and sat down obediently to listen to the lesson.

There is a Taifu from the Hanlin Academy in the palace to teach him, but Fifth Brother still asks him to come to the fairy every other day to relieve the boredom with the fairy.Fairy set up a free school in the small courtyard, teaching poetry and books to children from poor families in Nanfang every morning, and teaching economics to him in the afternoon.

The content of Xianzi's lectures is completely different from that of the palace tutor. He doesn't like to quote scriptures, but is keen to combine Dafu's past events to criticize the past creations of old Confucian officials and discuss whether the practices in history books are appropriate.

Every day after returning to the palace from school, Wu Ge would check the homework he had learned that day.Every time he finished listening to himself, he would fall into a long silence.

Wu Ge said that the fairy is a person who really settles down and has the world in mind.

He once asked Fifth Brother, why is the fairy still willing to stay in that small world, instead of making great achievements with what she has learned and serving the country?

A look of sadness flashed in Fifth Brother's eyes, he smiled and patted his head, saying that Fifth Brother was useless.

After afternoon class, Zhao Fenghui still remembered Fifth Brother's instructions before leaving the palace, and said to the fairy: "Fifth Brother asked Master to go to the horse farm to compete, Master must not forget."

The fairy smiled and handed him an ancient book: "Your Majesty the Tenth Highness, go back first, remember to memorize the first three chapters, and take the exam in the next day."

Zhao Fenghui imitated the two naughty children just now, secretly made a funny face at Wen Xuechao, picked up the ancient book and slipped away.

Wen Xuechao stared at Zhao Fenghui's angry back, and couldn't help laughing.After the New Year's Eve, His Majesty Tenth will be fourteen years old. When His Majesty was 14 years old, he led the Zhenbei Army to attack the Yanqu tribe and burned the leader's tent.His Highness the Tenth Highness is still childish, innocent and innocent.

Or Zhao Fengci dotes on children too much.

*****

Zhao Fengci put an arrow on the bow and pointed the sharp arrow at Zhan Fengduo hanging on the branch.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Wen has arrived." Shi Baoer walked slowly to Zhao Feng's resignation horse, and said respectfully.

"En." Zhao Fengci narrowed his eyes slightly, weighed the longbow in his hand, and tightened the bowstring.

There was a whistling wind in his ears, and an arrow light passed by his shoulder, piercing the sky first, and piercing the golden thread hanging Zhanfengduo.The wind chime swayed in mid-air, making a crisp tinkling sound.

Zhao Fengci didn't look back: "Has anyone said that you are intelligent by nature, and you can see through a little?"

The person behind put away the long arrow and smiled: "I have been used to hearing these words since I was a child, and my ears have been callused early."

Zhao Fengci nodded, turned over neatly on the side and rear of the horse, passed the arrow into the man's hand, and took the arms of the man in his arms.

"Take a deep breath, relax your right arm—" The hands of the two interlocked and covered each other, and their skins were tightly pressed together.

Zhao Fengci's faint breath came from his nose, and Wen Xuechao suddenly felt a burst of warmth lingering in his bosom.

Before he was ready, Zhao Fengci suddenly let go and pulled the bowstring.

The bow and arrow left the string, as fast as light, pierced Zhanfengduo's bell mouth with lightning speed, and shot the wind chimes in the air, Zhanfengduo broke away from the long line in an instant, and fell into the leaves under the tree .

Zhao Fengci gently kissed the earlobe of the person in his arms: "You are much more familiar than before."

Wen Xuechao shook her numb hands, and let the people behind her touch her up and down, still a little unwilling to say: "I have to practice more."

Zhao Fengci openly invited him to come to the racecourse to compete, but he knew exactly what this person had in mind.

Shi Bao'er stood aside, watching his nose and nose, watching his heart, even Young Master Wen could see His Majesty's plan, how could he not see it.

Since Mr. Wen returned to the capital, he didn't want to live in the palace for a long time.

Only the confidantes of His Majesty knew about Young Master Wen's return to the capital, but it did not stir up any disturbances in the court.The emperor built a Yunrong Pavilion in the palace. There are corridors and fish ponds in the pavilion. It is said that it is no different from the former residence of the prince.

After the young master heard about it, he was displeased, saying that he was originally a minister, not the palace favorite of His Majesty.

There is no one in the huge harem, if only Mr. Wen lived there, it would be a bit inappropriate.Presumably Mr. Wen also considered the same, he did not live in the Yunrong Pavilion in the palace, but asked His Majesty to set up a small courtyard in Nanfang, most of them live in the small courtyard on weekdays.

Later, Mr. Wen wanted to learn riding and archery.The emperor separated half of the Yanfu Palace Racecourse, and made a special trip to accompany the young master to race horses every day after the court.

If the young master is tired from training horses on weekdays, and if the sky is dark, he will stay in the palace for a day or two.

Your Majesty must have guessed what Young Master Wen was thinking. You have practiced riding and archery for nearly a year now, and your horse riding skills are considered outstanding, but you are still often called to the palace to compete with His Majesty.

Shi Baoer lowered her head, and glanced at the two figures on the horseback that were drifting away.

No, the emperor succeeded again today.

The koi swim lightly in the jade pond, and the tails of the fish rippling across the water.In the center of the yard is a large locust tree with luxuriant branches, and the autumn cicadas humming among the golden fallen leaves.In the second year after Wen Xuechao went to Saibei, Habayashi Wei transported the big locust tree out of Wenfu, and moved it into the palace intact.

The small courtyard of Wenfu is the place where Zhao Fengci's youthful love was first born, and it is also the last piece of pure land belonging to that person.

In his dreams, he wanted to completely occupy Wen Xuechao in Yunrong Pavilion.

Hearing Wen Xuechao's begging in love, he only felt that his heart was filled with joy, and he wanted to integrate the person under him into his flesh and blood.Seeing the rippling water in Wen Xuechao's eyes, he couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to reach out to wipe away the tears on his face.

The autumn wind rolled the fallen leaves and beat the window lattice, the man in his arms was finally exhausted, and fell asleep while clutching his wrist.

He carefully wrapped Wen Xuechao into a cotton quilt, only to realize that the man's delicate brows were still slightly frowned, and had not been loosened.

He knew why Wen Xuechao wanted to practice archery and horseback riding, and why he wanted to teach Feng Hui what he had learned all his life.

Although such a day is full of wantonness and worry-free, it is not the life Wen Xuechao wants.

Wen's family fell from the horse, and the whole family was sentenced to beheaded.Although rehabilitated, Wen Xuechao was also accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason.People in the world only regarded him as dead, and he died in the lonely smoke of the desert when he was exiled in Saibei.He died without a place to bury him, and ended up in the same fate as the rest of the Wen family.

If he is just an ordinary person, and now he has won the emperor's heart, if he puts aside all the past, he will naturally live a life that everyone envies.

But he is none other than Wen Xuechao.

He was once the number one dandy son in the world, a loyal minister who guards the city alone, an official of the parents of the people, and a pawn of the Tian family.

Now, he is just a person who is hiding in a dark place by the emperor and has no relatives or reason.

And what he was looking forward to in the past, the scene of Qinghaiyan in the world, may have had something to do with Mr. Wen, but it has nothing to do with Wen Xuechao after all.

Zhao Fengci looked at Wen Xuechao's calm and peaceful sleeping face, and sat awake all night before the collapse.

In the early morning of the next day, an urgent report from Zhenbei Mansion to Beijing was sent by a fast horse, which broke the peace of the court for many days.

Five days ago, there was a mutiny in the big tent of the Yanqu Department.Zuoxian King Yuchishuo was seriously ill, and Guli King Yuchi Jing poisoned Youxian King and took the position of Khan of Yanqu tribe on his behalf.

The first thing that King Guli did after he came to power was to send envoys to Dafu for peace talks.

The Yanqu tribe sent envoys to Beijing, and at the same time escorted back a person, said to be an official who had defected from Dafu and went north. He had served as an aide in the Guli Palace for many years and leaked a lot of news about the Dafu dynasty to the Yanqu tribe.

The new Khan wants to send the traitor back to the Central Plains emperor to show his sincerity in the peace talks.
