There's A Beauty

That night, Ji Changye woke up again from a beautiful dream. The young man's blushing face and tear-filled eyes vaguely emerged. Even if he didn't close his eyes, he seemed to be close at hand. Creamy hands.This situation has lasted for three months from the day of the accident after drinking to the present.

In three months, he has become the master of the Ming Dynasty, fulfilling the promise he made to his mother when he was a child, living a good life and living a better life than anyone else.However, at the moment of Ji Zhengze's death, he didn't feel any pleasure, even when he put on the dragon robe and sat on the throne, overlooking the officials and the people from top to bottom, he didn't feel the slightest disturbance in his heart.

On the day when he took the imperial palace to the holy mountain to sacrifice to heaven, he looked out through the bead curtain and carefully identified every face in the crowd.He originally thought that Youshu would follow him silently in it, but he didn't.He looked and looked, searched and looked, still nothing.

The realization that the only person he wanted to share with wasn't there at such a momentous, and arguably most glorious moment in his life, was overwhelming.He began to reflect on himself, began to speculate on Youshu's mood, and began to worry about gains and losses.Now, the last layer of window paper has been pierced, and he is reluctant to push Youshu out, but he is even more reluctant to let Youshu follow him like a child molester.

His original intention remained the same, he wanted to let Youshu live a dignified life, worry-free, prosperous and honorable all his life, so on the first day after he took the throne, he promulgated the decree of adding Enke.He donated his fame to Youshu, and he thinks he will be the top student in high school in three months.He wanted to meet them very much, but he was afraid that he couldn't suppress the flame in his heart. This flame was extremely dangerous, and once it was ignited, it would burn them to ashes.

It is said that there are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night.In his dream, he hugged Youshu, wishing he could die on him, and kissed him with the madness of "after today, there will be no tomorrow".He knew that it was precisely because he suppressed the desire in his heart so hard that the dream became more and more intense.

Therefore, he longs for Youshu, but is afraid of Youshu, because once he starts to indulge himself, only death can strip Youshu from his arms.However, now he is no longer qualified to hug Youshu, because he is Emperor Zongsheng and the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he cannot lose his mind for a person like Ji Zhengze.

You can't hug and kiss, you can always watch from a distance.He has already arranged everything for Youshu, let him take the first place in the imperial examination; Shu was transferred to the Hanlin Academy and entered the cabinet step by step.At that time, he will be able to see him every day, and occasionally chat with him about the past and have meals together.

Youshu is very sensible and also very strong. He will understand his helplessness and will slowly withdraw from this wrong relationship.On the day when they are old, their respective children and grandchildren will be around their knees, but they will still be able to get along with each other, which is also a beautiful story.Ji Changye leaned on the soft pillow and imagined the future. This future looks very beautiful, and it will benefit them without any harm, but for some reason, there seems to be an empty space in his heart, a little cold, a little bitter, and a lot of regret .

After that, Ji Changye couldn't fall asleep again, and sat alone in the huge palace, slowly flipping through the copybooks written by Youshu when she was young.The dark sky turned fish-belly, and his gloomy mood gradually improved. Seeing that it was almost time to go to court, he ordered the palace servants to change his clothes for him.

Today, another minister asked the emperor to stand up, but Ji Changye stopped him with the excuse of "valuing filial piety and discussing it in three years".Immediately afterwards, they settled for the next best thing, and asked the emperor to select a wide range of beautiful women to fill the harem, not to get married, and to have a few people around to serve him, but Ji Changye rejected it again.He couldn't imagine lying beside him with someone other than Youshu, especially a woman, that would inevitably remind him of the dead Concubine Lan.

Except for Youshu, he disliked everyone's deliberate seduction and approach, and he even killed several court ladies for this.

"The palace is already full of demonic energy, but if you enter the show again, the evil energy will become even stronger. Are all the lovers thinking about me, or do you think I have lived too long?" Ji Changye said in a cold and stern tone.

Only then did the ministers in the hall think of the haunting, and their hearts were shaken.Now the monks of Zhenguo Temple are chanting scriptures in the forbidden palace every day. It is said that it takes three to five years of continuous chanting to completely drive away the evil energy. It's fine to kill a few unlucky ones, if there are a few more unjust ghosts...

The scene that followed was so terrifying that the courtiers didn't dare to think about it, and they no longer took the initiative to mention the matter of Nafei becoming a queen.Anyway, the emperor himself will be anxious when he is old, so he should let nature take its course.

After solving a big problem, Ji Changye said urgently, "Can the palace examination list be sorted out?"

The emperor has been asking for three days in a row, and if he doesn't sort out his position, he is afraid that someone will be replaced. The Minister of Rites hastily presented the list, and focused on the first names.

Ji Changye got the list and just looked forward, the top three didn't have any names, so he had to turn back, even after turning through all the stacks of rice paper, he didn't see the expected two words.The courtiers saw the emperor flipping through the list, counting it seven or eight times tirelessly, their expressions became more and more gloomy, their eyes became more and more cold, they couldn't help shrinking their necks, feeling strange in their hearts.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites wiped his sweat frequently, and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the list? I still keep the examination papers of all the scholars, so I'll present them to you for your review. Today's scholars are very talented, and there are no Fraud happened."

How could Ji Changye have the patience to read other people's exam papers?Last night he was still thinking that he might be able to take a look at Youshu from a distance during the palace examination, but today he learned that he didn't come to take the examination at all, so how could he not panic?He really wanted to know what Youshu was thinking?

The day of sacrifice to heaven will not come, and the day of imperial examination will not come, so does he plan to never see me in this life?As soon as this thought appeared, it was like a thunderbolt hitting Ji Changye's heart.That's right, he was only thinking about what to do to make You Shu live a better life, but he never thought about it from You Shu's perspective.Youshu is so attached to herself, and has said several times that staying with herself all the time is the happiest.

At that time, he thought it was a child's talk, and he would figure it out when the boy grew up.But he forgot that Youshu is such a stubborn, stubborn, pure and simple person, every word he said came from the heart, never changing his original intention; at the same time, he was decisive, strong and independent, Realizing that he is a superfluous existence, he will not beg for mercy, let alone pester him in every possible way, but walk away silently.

Ji Changye held the list in his hand, but his eyes were already distracted.He finally realized what kind of message he had received when Youshu woke up alone in bed that day, was rushed out of the mansion by himself, and then disappeared for several months.

He was so smart, how could he not realize that he was being alienated and exiled, and what was worse, this alienation and exile happened after the two of them had sex.There is no doubt that the damage to him will be multiplied.

Did he cry secretly; did he try to find himself; did he...had he held a grudge?Thinking of this, Ji Changye's body shook, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.If you don't find Youshu as soon as possible, all the children and grandchildren will be in vain, the monarch and his ministers will get along with each other, and they will grow old together.

He must have a good talk with Youshu and tell him that he will never exile him.He can stay by his side for the rest of his life, even if he does it a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, he won't get tired of it.

You Shu, You Shu, You Shu!Apart from these two words in his head, Ji Changye could no longer think about anything else.He suddenly put down the list, and said with a hand on his forehead, "I suddenly feel unwell, I'm here for today's court meeting, let's go." Without waiting for the courtiers to respond, he left in a hurry.

After arriving at the apse, he changed into his regular clothes, and hurried to Youshu's house with a few guards, but was informed by Song that Youshu had left the capital for more than three months, and he had not sent a letter back yet, and he did not know where he was now.

"He left? Oh, did I leave before I ascended the throne?" Ji Changye repeatedly asked this question, and his heart gradually turned cold after receiving an affirmative answer.

No wonder he didn't come to see himself offering sacrifices to heaven, no wonder he didn't take the imperial examination.He had already left, alone, without a word from anyone.What was he thinking the moment he walked out of the city gate?Travel around, distract your mind, or never plan to come back?Ji Changye was thinking wildly uncontrollably, suddenly felt dizzy, and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart. Standing there, his hands and feet were cold, and he didn't know what to do.

After surviving the most painful and tangled quarter of an hour, he finally regained his sanity, turned his head to look at Ah Da, who was already the commander of the imperial army, and asked sharply, "I asked you to send secret guards to protect Youshu, why did he leave the capital? But there is no way to know? Where is he now? You immediately send someone to find him and come back, saying that I was wrong and I want to see him."

Ada's face was pale, and he lowered his head and cupped his hands, "I report to the emperor, the person who protected Youshu was thrown away as soon as he left the city gate. Now, my subordinates don't know where he went."

"Twenty years of hard work, but you can't even keep up with a young man who has no strength to restrain a chicken. What use do I need you? Find him! Find him immediately! I only give you half a month." Ji Changye was always gentle. His face was distorted at this moment, and his voice was very rough, which showed how anxious he was.

Although Ada didn't want to, he didn't dare to disobey him, so he had to send someone to look for him.

Ji Changye waited for not half a month, not half a year, but a full ten years.In ten years, no matter how deep the memories are, it is reasonable to say that they have faded, but in fact they are not.The passing time is like a rushing river, washing away those unimportant people or things, but polishing the gems hidden in the gravel to become more dazzling.There is no doubt that Youshu is Ji Changye's jewel. Every day that passes, his every frown and smile is more deeply embedded in his heart until it is engraved in his mind.

The dependence of each other in the last days, the indifference in the prosperity, the perseverance in the suffering, the earnest piety in the embrace, every memory was repeatedly reviewed by Ji Changye, so the regret became deeper and deeper day by day.Whenever there is news from somewhere that he has seen someone similar to You Shu, he will rush there immediately, and then return lost again and again.

Gradually, many people began to know that his weakness was a young man named Youshu.Those who want to be promoted to the ranks will search for them secretly, or offer a few substitutes, without exception, making him furious.However, some people with ulterior motives used this news to lure him into a murderous situation.

This time, the Xifeng barbarians released news that they had captured Youshu and asked Emperor Zongsheng to exchange the three cities.With Ji Zhengze as a lesson from the past, Ji Changye will naturally not abandon the people for his own selfish desires.However, he vetoed the proposal to replace the three cities, but went to fight against the barbarians in person, and was disturbed by a young man who looked like Youshu, and was almost shot dead on the spot.

Afterwards, not only did he not bandage the wound with deep visible bones, but he rushed madly into the bloody battlefield, and found the young man among thousands of corpses. Chop it into meat paste.

If Ah Da hadn't knocked him out in time, maybe he would have been in trouble.

This victory was extremely tragic, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty almost died at the border, and this year, he was still unmarried and had no heirs under his knees.It is conceivable that if he went, what kind of landslide and tsunami the Ming Dynasty would experience.Ah Da hardly dared to think about the dire consequences.He knelt by the side of the couch, looked at his weakly breathing master, and finally made up his mind to tell the truth.

Ji Changye never expected to hear such a ridiculous story after waking up.He was silent for a long time before he slowly stood up and asked, "So, when You Shu came to me, you took it upon yourself to drive him away because he can control ghosts?"

"Yes. The matter of ghosts and gods is too unpredictable..." Ah Da was about to defend himself, when he saw the master kicked the short table by the side of the couch, and raised the steel knife to slash it fiercely. Unseen hideous expression.

He didn't dare to dodge, and was stabbed abruptly, his shoulder was almost cut off. If Ah Er hadn't rushed in to persuade him, he might have died.The tent was blood splattered, and it was a mess. Fortunately, Ji Changye still had the last sliver of reason, knowing that beheading a hero in front of the soldiers would chill everyone's hearts, so he stopped in time.

But even so, Ah Da also died half-life.Ji Changye threw away the steel knife and sat slumped on the ground. The freshly bandaged wound began to ooze a lot of blood, dripping down, but he didn't feel the pain. He just slowly covered his eyes and wept uncontrollably.

It turns out that his throne was obtained in exchange for half of Youshu's blood; it turns out that he suffered all kinds of humiliation the day he left; it turns out that he thought he was afraid of his ability, so he chose to leave forever... His attachment and affection for himself, Maybe it has already been wiped out in the repeated injuries, right?So even if he posted the imperial list to every corner of the Ming Dynasty, he would avoid it.

Thinking of this, Ji Changye suddenly trembled.Ah Dao's brain is not active, and he can't see the problem, but he is different. Only from Ah Da's simple narration, he has already noticed that You Shu's ability is not as miraculous as he showed, but also extremely dangerous.Because his flesh and blood are inexplicably attractive to ghosts, but the protective power on his body will slowly lose over time.That is to say, if Youshu goes on the road alone, sooner or later she will face great danger.

No matter how much he hates me, he will send a letter back when he sees the imperial list, let alone leave Mrs. Song alone.Could it be that the reason why he hasn't heard from him is because... Ji Changye didn't dare to think deeply, wiped away his tears, and shouted, "Come on, bandage my wound, I'm going to hide in Wusi! Immediately." Let's go!"

After four or five months of trekking, the group finally arrived in Uzang.Ji Changye is not yet forty this year, but his temples are already gray and his face is old.He had to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times before impressing the Living Buddha, who ordered him to open the altar to search for the souls of the dead.

"Can you find something close to the person you are looking for?" The living Buddha drew a magic circle on the ground with cinnabar and gold powder.

Ji Changye hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a strand of hair from his purse with great reluctance.This was cut by You Shu when he was six years old, and it has been kept by him till now.

"Very good." The living Buddha was very satisfied with the object, took it with both hands and burned it, then sprinkled the powder into the magic circle, and said slowly, "If the candle in the circle turns blue, it means that the soul of this person has come , you can talk to him. If the candle is still dim, it means that this person is not dead, and you can continue to look for him in the mortal world."

Ji Changye nodded slightly, completely speechless because of being too nervous.

The candles were arranged in an orderly manner, swaying left and right under the gusts of wind. After a few breaths, the color did not change, and after a few more breaths, the color did not change. The Living Buddha stopped chanting, waved his hands, and said, "Go back, this person is not dead."

Ji Changye thanked the Living Buddha with tears in his eyes, and passed out as soon as he stood up. Gein's idea of ​​supporting him to enter Tibet with serious injuries finally collapsed.Fortunately, there is still a last ray of hope left, otherwise he may never make it back to the capital.Even so, his body was also rapidly deteriorating. While dealing with the government affairs with all his might, he was looking for people day and night, as if he was consuming his life.

Seeing that the emperor had just reached the age of [-], snow was piled up all over his hair, and his body was too emaciated. The courtiers panicked and wrote to him repeatedly asking him to raise a heir and leave an heir.But he issued an imperial decree, saying that he would select a few young children in the clan to adopt.

The clans naturally couldn't wish for it, and each selected young children of the right age to send to the palace, and blocked the courtiers' criticism.

This year, the long-dormant palace finally gained some popularity.Ji Changye ordered people to bring more than a dozen children to him, and looked at them one by one.One of the children was very cute and courageous. Not only did he dare to look at him, but he also smiled foolishly. This smile revealed two small dimples on his cheeks, which made Ji Changye's cloudy eyes light up.

He called the child to him, poked his soft dimple, and showed a long-lost smile.From this day on, he took the children with him and taught them himself, while the rest lived in the side hall and checked their homework every ten days.

The child is only five or six years old this year, and his temperament is unstable. After being pampered for a few months, he will show his true colors, and all kinds of small problems of pride will break out one by one.The palace people thought that the strict emperor would be unbearable, but he didn't care about it, and even loved his children even more.

The courtiers all knew that the emperor seemed easy-going, but he was actually the most difficult to please. It was extremely difficult to get him to look at him more, and to make him pamper him wantonly was like the sun coming out from the west.When everyone thought that the child was the emperor's heart and soul, and that he had the best hope of becoming a great treasure in the future, the child unexpectedly fell out of favor, and no one knew the reason.

On this day, the child was sent back to the mansion, and when he got off the carriage, he cried very sadly.He knew that he had lost one of the most important opportunities of his life, and that he would be laughed at in the future.His father, king and mother concubine were waiting in the hall with livid faces. After sending away the servants, they pulled him to their side and asked the reason.

The child didn't know, so he narrated the scene that day, "The emperor asked his son to accompany him to eat, but the son didn't dare to eat first, and he served the bowl after serving the emperor's dishes. The emperor was very happy at first. He changed his face when he took out the dishes, and asked his son if he was a picky eater. The son didn't dare to deceive the king, so he answered yes, and then he was sent back."

The prince and princess didn't believe the words, and asked, "Impossible, how could they be sent back like this? If you think about it again, what else did the emperor say?"

The child thought for a moment, and then said, "Before sending the son away, the emperor said, 'It doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it, after all, it doesn't look like anyone else'."

The prince was stunned, and he let out a long sigh after a long time.The emperor is stuck in the past and can't get out!

Twenty days later, another child was sent out of the palace, but he was the legitimate son of Prince Su who was known as a child prodigy.Prince Su is unwilling to believe that his child will be eliminated anyway. You must know that this child is the most eye-catching since he was a child. He knows how to cover up his emotions at the age of two or three. He never says a word or takes a step. He thinks about everything. Thinking about it before putting it into action.

The old prince also often praised this son for being extraordinary, a man who has everything in every aspect and is impeccable.He was deported in less than two months, it shouldn't be!

The child was also very aggrieved, and cupped his hands and said, "I don't know who brought a little Jingba. Everyone looked cute, and they all gathered around to play with it, but my son sat obediently in his place and endorsed the book. At this time, the emperor came to check For homework, I asked my son, "Do you want to go play?" The son said no, and he asked if Jingba was cute, and the son answered yes, so he ordered someone to send him back."

Prince Su was full of doubts. From the narration, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his son. On the contrary, he was very well-behaved.How did the emperor choose people?Simply unreasonable!

The child thought for a while and added, "When sending his son out of the palace, the emperor had a parting message. He said, you have to fight for what you want. Don't be duplicity, words and deeds, otherwise it will be too late to regret in the future."

Only then did Prince Su pat his forehead and suddenly realized that it was because his son's personality was too mediocre.That is to say, emperors like the emperor who have created great achievements must prefer successors with sharp temperaments.The emperor is indeed the emperor, so unpredictable!

In fact, things are not as complicated as Prince Su thought.Because Youshu hates wasting food, Ji Changye is also extremely disgusted with it, and because of her introverted personality, she will never lose her love, so she can't see others being indecisive.Love and parting are the most painful in this life. Seeing similar people, he will only resent himself more.Out of sight, out of sight, he sent away the children who touched his heart one by one.

Years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Ji Changye was too sick to get up, and a group of princes knelt by the couch and wept silently.After taking the pulse, the imperial physician shook his head, expressing that he was helpless.

Ah Da has been dismissed, only Ah Er stands at the door with a sad look on his face.Seeing the master waving at him, he hurried over and said with a sob, "What is the emperor's order?"

As expected, the emperor still asked the question that he had to ask every day, "Go to the gate of the city to see if Youshu is back."

There was always a portrait of Youshu posted at the gate of the city. Once he returned to the capital, the guards guarding the gate would recognize him and report him to the palace immediately.I haven't got any news yet, so I don't think so.Ah Er didn't dare to speak directly, and left with red eyes.

Ji Changye was out of breath, but still clenched his fists tightly to support him. After two quarters of an hour, Ah Er turned back and shook his head, and then he tried his best to call out "You Shu", and his hands and feet gradually became cold.Seeing that his eyes hadn't closed for a long time, all the princes didn't know that he was dead. They didn't realize that something was wrong until the maid came to feed the medicine, and they were in a mess in an instant.

The Sage Emperor Zong, who conquered the Kyushu and wiped out the seven kingdoms, died without resting his eyes...
