Winter of the first year of Ganzhi.

Antai Town, north of Kyoto.

On the snowy streets of the city, a plainly dressed woman was walking on the snow.Looking up at the gloomy weather, I couldn't help but write a poem in my heart, and read a sentence: The silver-dressed cornices hang on the branches, and the plain-wrapped wine streamers come.After that, he shook his head with a faint smile, as if laughing at his behavior, and walked away slowly on the road.

Go left along the main street in the city, turn into several streets and alleys with many houses, and the first thing that catches your eyes is the tall locust trees on both sides of the road.The man was not in a hurry to face the snowflakes, it seemed that there was no need to panic if we saw this kind of weather a lot; he kept turning around a lot of places in this way, and after walking a mile or two, he stopped at a small shop and went in. door to go.

"The young master is back, it's snowing outside."

When the people in the house saw her coming back, they hurriedly helped her get the clothes and cloak, packed up the bamboo hats and invited her in.In the small pavilion inside, the kang had already been warmed up at this time, and there was a burst of warmth; a stove built of clay embryos next to it was burning, heating some aged wine, exuding layers of wine aroma.

The woman looked at the picture in the room in a daze, and after a while, she asked the servant quietly: "Where did Madam go?"

"Madam went to the backyard just now. She said it was snowing heavily today, and she wanted to see how the little deer is doing."

"Go down."

"Yes, my lord."

The woman sat cross-legged on the kang, skillfully arranged the wine cups and tea bowls on the small wooden table, and leaned over to fetch charcoal to add to the stove.After a while of silence, the man was a little idle and bored, so he used the stick to prop up the window beside him.

As soon as the window was opened, a burst of snowflakes came.

"Ma'am, don't worry too much, it will be fine."

"With the weather like this and the fact that its wound has not healed for a long time, it is really distressing to look at its eyes."

The person in the window gap has been watching the conversation in the small courtyard outside, and remains silent with great interest.After so many years, Ran'er's temperament of caring for living beings has not changed at all, so it's good, I can spend many years in the future to repay the blood debt of the past, let's have fun while suffering.

"When did you come back?"

The window was suddenly opened again, and Sang Yu, who was still in a daze, could only look at her and sneered, "The room I entered just now, I saw that you were taking care of the deer, so I didn't bother you. Come in, it's cold outside, don't worry. It’s good to catch the wind and cold.”

Zi Sangyu, Bai Qingran.

Since he abdicated in the imperial city of Kyoto in August, Zi Sang Yu and Bai Qingran secretly left the imperial city.Except for those who knew Zi Sangyu's details, all the people below were gone, including Lan'er, the maid who had served Bai Qingran for many years.Those who came to Antai Town were mainly the chiefs of the original dark guards, all of whom had deep feelings for each other, and the rest stayed in the capital to protect Rui'er and Nan'er.

This is an extremely inconspicuous millet shop in Antai Town, which is run by my own people.Zi Sangyu was worried that Rui'er had just taken over Jiangshan, so he planned to stay here for a while.Originally, some people wondered, why are there two more figures like celestial beings here?But because Sang Yu changed back to her daughter's appearance, no one would have guessed that this is the current Supreme Emperor, their legendary son Sang Yu.

"Did you go to listen to a story today?" Bai Qingran smiled and sat down opposite her, watching her daughter's makeup becoming more and more reluctant to look away. "Your worrying temper has not changed, it is still the same as before."

Zi Sangyu coughed twice, fetched a blue and white porcelain cup for her, and poured half a cup of warm wine. "Where can you rest assured? You haven't changed the same. You have taken good care of the deer since it was taken back to today, and you still blame me. Back to the topic, I went to the teahouse today and didn't receive anything. News. It is said that the magic dragon is not doing much now, as usual; Nuoer and the others are also preparing to move to the fief."

Bai Qingran's pair of star shadows were brewing wine in the wine glass in a daze, and it took a while to answer her softly: "Before the storm comes, it is always so calm. Didn't you say before that there are a group of corpse soldiers under the hands of the demon dragon? But There have been no rumors in recent years, and it must be gaining momentum.”

Who knows.

I just feel that I always feel weird in my heart, and I can't sleep peacefully every day-if the devil is not eliminated, it will be a disaster in the end.Zi Sangyu frowned, wondering how those people got along with Rui'er?Ten thousand times, I thought about rushing back to Kyoto to see these things in person, but I kept persuading myself in my heart: don't look back, don't look back.

Kyoto Imperial City.

night.

Zi Sangrui was wearing a brand-new silk bright yellow dragon robe, standing with his hands behind his back in the imperial study, looking at the dragon chair in front of him.At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he was just shedding his childishness. Like Zi Sang Yu, he was ready to be a father at this age and became the king of a country at this age.Zisangrui looked indifferent, looking at this place choked up, feeling unable to say a word.

Once upon a time, this place belonged only to the father who had always admired him. At that time, he felt that there was only one person in the world who was suitable to sit in this position.And myself?I always feel that it is not ready yet, so why do I suddenly take on such a heavy responsibility?I don't understand, and I'm flustered.

"Your Majesty, they are here."

The servant's repeated voices sounded beside him, Zisangrui clenched the robe behind him tightly, and said, "Let them in."

When Zi Sangyu abdicated, there was another imperial edict listing the ministers who would assist Ruier in the future: Grand Tutor Li Xin, Minister of Officials Lu Jinzheng, chief academician of the Imperial Academy Xu Wenhong, member of the Ministry of Rites Wailang Jiang Yuxing; Xiao, First Class Loyal and Brave Uncle Hu Yabao, Minister of the Ministry of War Chai Ziquan, General Jingyong Wu Tianyou.

Over the years, the autumn examination has never stopped, and the new champion Lang in each autumn examination is constantly changing candidates.Although there are many Jinshi, these eight are the only ones who have been Zi Sangyu's confidantes since the first autumn examination in Jiangzhou until today.Of course Zi Sangrui had heard of it, but it was nothing new for his father to talk to them all night long.

His father trusted them, and he should use them.

"I pay homage to the emperor."

"My lords, stay safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as the etiquette was over, the bearded Hu Yabao sat down on the carpet calmly, and he didn't care what the people around him were doing, and he became presumptuous by himself.Chai Ziquan was stunned on the spot, pulled his clothes and shouted: "Old Hu, what are you doing, the emperor hasn't even spoken yet, how can you behave like this!"

Only then did Hu Yabao react, hey hey hey, how is this the same emperor who sat cross-legged with his brothers before?Raising his head to look at the current little emperor, he stared straight at him with a cold look, which made Hu Yabao shiver uncontrollably. "Hey, Your Majesty, forgive me, I... I was confused for a while, maybe I slept too much today and did some actions that offended the Emperor, Your Majesty... don't blame me..."

Zi Sangrui looked at him like this, and he knew it in his heart.

I have heard from Lian Zhong, the chief executive, that every time the father talked with these confidants, he would sit cross-legged on the floor of the royal study and never treat him according to the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers; today the emperor is no longer My father is me, so should I follow this set of habits?Zi Sangrui looked at them and didn't speak.

"emperor…"

Chai Ziquan and others intend to intercede with Hu Yabao.

Zisang Rui clicked his mouth and smiled helplessly.

"Sit down, don't be restrained."

Hu Yabao and the others were taken aback by these words, and looked at the little emperor in front of them in disbelief. "Your Majesty..." Is this really indifferent?Although I was used to being so presumptuous with the Supreme Emperor before, but this is not the previous one after all, does it mean that I have committed a crime?

"Aren't you and my father the same way before?" Zi Sangrui lifted his robe and sat down first, pointing to the seat beside him generously: "Then follow the old way, I think that is also very good. Lian Cheng, Prepare some hand stoves for you gentlemen."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This delicate atmosphere was continued on this snowy night.Hu Yabao and the others seemed relieved and embarrassed, looking at Zi Sangrui with a calm face from time to time, and saw some shadows of the Supreme Emperor.Well, after all, it is his own child, if his eyes are blurred after drinking too much, he really thinks that the one in front of him is the Supreme Emperor.

Zi Sangrui was not familiar with these eight people, the only one who talked a lot was Li Xin, the grand tutor who taught him since he was a child.Li Xin is a smart person, when he sat down with everyone tonight, he could already see the strangeness in Zi Sangrui's expression.

"The new emperor is enthroned, and the Supreme Emperor is such a legendary figure. At this moment, the emperor must have a lot of suffering. The emperor does not need to worry too much. Whether it is good or bad, the people have their own evaluation, as long as they do well." Li The new words more or less made Zisang Rui feel at ease for a moment.

Yes, father is so dazzling, how can he overshadow or compare with it.

Later, these people discussed some political affairs.

The most important thing is that Mo Jiao, Chai Ziquan and others have no reservations about this matter, and they have explained everything about Mo Jiao in detail; He once handed over a roster in the name of needing new blood for the new dynasty's ascension to the throne. If it hadn't been for the persuasion of his father before, Zhao Gan's wish might have been fulfilled.

Zi Sangrui thought of Zhao Gan's proud face in the early morning court.

Without any evidence, he couldn't be killed.
