Lang Yi

Tian Zong has been very troubled recently.

Shen Yi is upright, young and energetic, after being sent to the Ministry of Officials, he did not avoid fire and water, investigated and dealt with several cases of ink corruption, confiscated all the property of these corrupt officials, and collected them into the national treasury.Tian Zong was very appreciative of this, but who knew that the Dou family was involved in the corruption case investigated and dealt with; but Shen Yi was still relentless, and disclosed all the materials he had found to the court, making Tian Zong in a dilemma .

If this matter is suppressed, it will no longer be possible to strictly rectify the administration of officials; if it is investigated and dealt with according to the law, it will definitely hurt the face of the princess, that is, the royal family.

When Mrs. Dou heard about this, she even came to Tianzong and cried all day long: "It's because the concubine doesn't like His Highness, so the family suffered disaster; although the concubine is not as good as your side concubine, but at least she is the concubine who is married by the Ming media. Why? You have been refusing to forgive the concubine's mother clan? The concubine has lost face now, and even the side concubine dares to ridicule the concubine..."

It was only then that Tian Zong remembered to deal with Qi Luo, and immediately summoned her, and ordered her to go out of the palace to practice in the royal monastery on the outskirts of the city, saying that he would hide her name and let her go free.Qi Luo didn't say much, knelt on the ground and stared at him silently for a long time, then asked: "I am willing to sacrifice my life for His Highness, but His Highness still refuses to give me a chance?"

Tian Zong didn't want to delve into whether her words were true or not, and he didn't give much explanation, but simply said: "Princess, your temperament is not suitable for deep palaces; you'd better forget about all this, after all, the rest of your life is long."

Qi Luo didn't thank you either, she just got up and said coldly: "Your Highness, your small kindness is nothing but the weakness in your own heart, it's all hypocrisy."

Tian Zong didn't blame, but smiled: "You are right."

Qi Luo turned around to leave, but stopped suddenly: "Your Highness, have you ever seen the red lotus in the Nanxu Angruo River?"

red lotus?Tian Zong concealed his surprise and looked at her lightly.

Qi Luo continued: "In the past, there were no such flowers in the South Ruins; after your Daying army captured the Nanxu, that kind of flowers suddenly appeared." She dropped this sentence meaningfully, and walked out, leaving Tian Zong was restless.

Although Qi Luo, a troublesome man with ulterior motives, was sent away, the Dou family had no scruples and still came to intercede every day for the corruption case.Although Tian couldn't avoid it, but it was really hard to make a decision, so he had no choice but to seek help from the emperor who had long ignored the government affairs. Only then did he learn that the emperor was addicted to a kind of "Dengxianwan" from the southwest, and was immersed in hallucinations all day long. Trance.

The sky was shocked, and after a rough investigation, it was discovered that this small pill had quietly flowed into the whole territory of Daying from the southwest at some time. Countless people were addicted to taking it, and had no intention of engaging in production; This medicine is not hesitating to go bankrupt.

Tian Zong hurriedly ordered to trace its source, but was shocked by the results: this pill was refined from the red lotus rhizome that grew after the Nanxu War. After taking it, it would produce strong hallucinations, which made people feel sick Be ecstatic.Since the discovery of this function, a large number of pills have been quietly sold into the Dahuo in recent years, and the officials in the Southwest Territory did not care about it, obviously because they were bought by the huge interests.

The harsh reality, and reminiscent of the Red Lotus nightmare in the past, Tian Zong did not dare to underestimate it, and immediately ordered the mobilization of troops from the western and southern borders to strictly investigate and confiscate the object.Unexpectedly, the power behind this thing has already become a climate of its own, and after several investigations, it still cannot be cut off, so that the imperial army was used to fight against it.

Tian Zong knew very well that there must be Lu's troubles in the future, and he only hated that now there are various troubles everywhere, and the treasury is no longer able to support the war or conscription.

However, his father knew that he could no longer cheer up, so he suddenly issued a Taoist decree, abdicated himself, and passed the throne to him early.Tian Zong ascended the throne with a wry smile in his heart, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

This day when Zhen'er came to the palace to pay her respects, Tian Zong had a rare moment of relaxation. He was holding Zhen'er's chubby hand to teach him the rhythm of the piano, when Li Qiu came forward with a look of fear, hesitating to speak.Tian Zong simply smiled and said: "Tell me, what's the matter? There are too many lice and it's not ticklish. What else can trouble me even more now?"

Li Qiu stammered: "Your Majesty, it's...it's General Ning..."

Tian Zong felt anxious for a moment, and couldn't help pinching Zhen'er's little hand.Zhen'er has a strong personality, so she doesn't cry out for pain, but tears are rolling in her eyes in grievance.Tian Zong hurriedly coaxed him, and asked someone to take him down to play, and then asked calmly, "Ning Xinghe, what's wrong with him?"

Li Qiu's face was gray and defeated, hesitatingly said: "The southern border came to report that General Ning was ambushed while leading the team on patrol. He...has no news."

Tian Zong was still in shock, and asked blankly: "Why is there no audio?!"

Li Qiu lowered his head and couldn't bear to say any more.

The army in the southern border was ordered to cut off the sales of "Dengxian Pills". Unexpectedly, the forces hidden behind the sales of pills were beyond imagination. Many villages in the southern border had entire villages making a living from this. What's more, there are many traitors in the army, and doubts abound.

Ning Xinghe was unexplainably tripped off his mount during a fierce battle during a night outing a few days ago, and was besieged.According to a few soldiers who fled back, they saw him fall off his horse in the night and was stabbed in the chest, and disappeared in the chaos.

Tian Zong felt dizzy after hearing this, couldn't stand upright, couldn't calm down at all, Li Qiu hurriedly supported him to sit down, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon's body, Da Ying is entirely dependent on you..."

Tian Zong's hands and feet gradually became cold, and he tried to comfort himself: "Auspicious people have their own celestial features, he will be fine, he will be fine." After recovering, he ordered Ning Xingye to take Luobei with him, and immediately set off for the southern border to find Inquire about.

Although Tian Zong stayed in the palace waiting for the news, he couldn't eat, couldn't sleep at night, and he didn't care about dealing with political affairs;

Paralyzed on the couch, the remaining rationality in his heart kept scolding himself: Ji Tianzong, you are now the Emperor of the Great Wrath, how can you ignore state affairs and only care about the safety of one person with all your heart?Get up and cheer up: how to deal with Dou's ink corruption case?How to subdue the southwestern vassals?How should the charter of the tax reform be drafted? ...

That's true, but he couldn't think about all these things, his whole body and mind were no longer under his control, and he seemed to be tightly pinched by an invisible hand and hung in mid-air, unable to breathe.He could only do nothing and wait for the news from the southern border to pronounce his fate.

Tian Zong stared blankly at the high and magnificent roof of the palace, not daring to think, if Xinghe really died in the southern border, would he have the strength to survive?After thinking about it, I laughed at myself: Although I have tried my best, I am still not a qualified emperor, and I can't even look at the life and death of such a person.

But fate treated him leniently once in a while.After waiting stupidly for seven days, he finally waited for the news that Ning Xinghe was still alive.

It turned out that Ning Xinghe did fall off his horse and was hit by a knife in his chest, but after defeating his opponent, he realized that if he drew the knife at this time, he would inevitably lose too much blood; so he did not pull out the knife, enduring the pain of the sharp edge, Gritting his teeth, he fled into the dense forest in the south, struggled all the way, supported by drinking rainwater, and finally returned to the army camp.

Li Qiu finished speaking in one breath, and continued to report: "General Ning ordered someone to send him back to Qingdu before he fell into a coma. On the way, he met Commander Ning and Medical Officer Luo; Medical Officer Luo has already treated his injuries, Your Highness, don't worry."

Tian Zong was suddenly pleasantly surprised, but when he heard this sentence, his heart sank again.

——You know why you were sent to the southern border in the first place, but now you are in a hurry to return to Qingdu regardless, you are afraid that you want to see me for the last time?

In the next few days, Tian Zong lived like a year; only when he saw Xinghe at Ning's house again did he confirm his guess.

Tian Zong changed into the guard's uniform, and under the guidance of Ning Xingye, he hurried into the familiar door again.On the couch where they were so lingering, Ning Xinghe closed his eyes, his face was as pale as paper, and the tear mole under his eyes was shockingly red.

Ning Xingye said softly: "The imperial doctor said, elder brother... there is no other way. Your Highness... please look at him more, I will leave."

There was silence everywhere, only Xinghe breathed weakly.

Tian Zong carefully smoothed the broken hair on his forehead, and called out in a hoarse voice, "Xinghe?"

Ning Xinghe seemed to be breathing stagnantly in a coma, his eyes didn't open, but his lips moved, as if he wanted to speak, but the deep knife wound on his chest made him speechless.

Tian Zong sat beside him quietly, looking greedily at his face.

Ning Xinghe should have been sent back to Dingdu in a hurry, and the blood-stained clothes on his body had not been changed in the future.Tian Zong looked at the corner of the innermost layer of his clothes, couldn't help smiling, and teased him as before: "The clothes I gave you are outer robes, but why do you wear them in the innermost layer? It's not uncomfortable to wear. Is it?"

Before the words fell, he burst into tears.

Tian Zong stood up and looked out of the window: behind the courtyard wall, the red sunset was about to set.

Outside the house is a country riddled with holes; inside the house is a dying lover.

Looking at it, he was at a loss like a child, as if he had lost his way to the end, as if he had done something terribly wrong, he wanted to cry in panic, but he couldn't make a sound, he didn't know what to do. Is good.

He couldn't find an exit, and couldn't break free. He was gripping his heart, only to feel that his heart was getting tighter and tighter, and he was about to suffocate.

—So I had to make an exit myself.

Tian Zong resolutely pulled out his saber, and cut a gash on his wrist. With the blood gurgling out, the blockage in his heart seemed to be untied.He gently pressed the wound on his wrist to Xinghe's lips, and slowly whispered in the Nanxu language: "Inject your blood with my blood, and help your life with my life..."

The blood that left his veins seemed to understand his wishes and prayers, and suddenly surged enthusiastically, squeezing into Ning Xinghe's pale lips, making those lips gradually return to their former charming color.

Ning Xingye who was outside the door heard the movement, rushed in suddenly, and shouted involuntarily: "Your Majesty, this is..." He walked over in two steps, and desperately stretched out his hand to pour out the blood from Ning Xinghe's mouth: "Brother It's no longer possible, Your Majesty, do you want to accompany him..."

Tian Zong stopped him without any doubt, pressed his wrist, motioned him not to speak, turned around and looked at the person on the bed, and said firmly: "I believe in him, he will not die, and he will not let me down."

——Ancestors of all ages, please forgive me for my willfulness this time; if the blood flowing in my veins is really the blood of the descendants of the gods, please let me share my strength with him!He is my life too!

As the sun sets, beautiful changing light and shadows seep through the window, shining on Ning Xinghe's face, making Tianzong suddenly think of the dusk in the creek outside Qingdu City a long time ago, when he was a boy looking at the same boy in the sunset. Ning Xinghe felt his heart throbbing for the first time.

Maybe someone in the dark really heard his prayer, Xinghe slowly opened his eyes; although he couldn't speak, he told him with his eyes: I will not let you down.

Looking at him, Tian Zong felt that his eyes were like the stars when the clouds were deep in the spring, and his whole body and mind were ignited with hope.

She leaned over and pressed a kiss on his forehead, then turned her head and told Ning Xingye who was stunned by the side: "Let's go, call Luo Bei to come and take care of him again. Let's go back to the palace first, there are many things that have not been dealt with these days."

Step out into the night and take a deep breath—Although I am cowardly and useless, fortunately there are people who are willing to risk their lives to protect them, so that they will not die and live up to them; Liaoluo tried her best to carry it on her shoulders.
