Deep ice

Without waiting for Yuan Jing to open his mouth, he just kept begging for mercy, with fragmentary words.

But it doesn't seem like nonsense, but it's in order.

"I have no choice but to do this...I can't stay in the palace for the rest of my life...I'm afraid that you will give me medicine again..."

"What did I do to feel sorry for you, you have to be so cruel..."

"Even if I treated you poorly at first, you wouldn't harm me like this..."

"I've been in love with you for the rest of my life. I'm afraid the He family will have no descendants in the future. It's fine if you tell me to cut off my children and grandchildren, and you won't leave any incense for my family..."

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have made you an emperor."

Lin Chang couldn't stand it anymore, his face darkened, he turned around and retreated.

The lights tended to be stable, and there were shadows and shadows. Even though the shadows were in pairs, the person was secretly alone.

Yuan Jing turned his face slightly, under the thick long eyelashes, the light shadow was like ink,

He Yan lay on Yuan Jing's lap and hummed vaguely,

"...Jiang Huaijin...Say something..."

Yuan Jing said: "Don't come here again."

Xi Lian froze for a moment, turned his head slightly to look at the person kneeling on the ground.

He Yan hugged Yuan Jing tightly, quietly clinging to his legs, closing his eyes, his eyes were a little clear.

Silent, as if asleep.

Yuan Jing looked calm, and took a deep look at He Yan,

"You're drunk, you can't spare me."

"Besides, I don't want to spare you either."

-

Opening his eyes, He Yan had a splitting headache.

Shun Shun, who was on the side, was relieved when he saw that he had woken up.

"Master, you are awake."

He Yan sat up from the bed, thinking that he seemed to have gone to the palace last night, but looking at the surrounding decorations, he must have returned to the mansion.

Sitting and thinking for a while, I couldn't remember how I came back anyway.

Thinking of this, He Yan turned his head to ask Shun Shun,

"Did I walk back by myself last night?"

Shun Shun sent someone to fetch warm water, and when he heard He Yan's question, he turned around and said respectfully, "My lord, you were carried back by Mr. Lin, and you vomited twice at night, and the bedding has been changed twice."

He Yan's eyes were bloodshot, "Where's Lin Chang?"

Shun Shun said: "Master Lin came here this morning, and seeing that you haven't woken up, he went early by himself."

He Yan remained silent, changed clothes and cleansed his face for his servants, and was about to go out when he caught sight of Lin Chang walking in a bright red court attire.

Face to face with He Yan, Lin Chang laughed directly, "Are you up?"

He Yan didn't go to see him, "I was tired last night."

Lin Chang stepped forward a few steps, lifted his official uniform, and found a place to sit down, "You actually remember that I sent you back, I thought you were unconscious..."

He Yan said indifferently: "Shunshun said."

Lin Chang squinted his eyes slightly, "It's okay if you don't remember, but when I think about your situation last night, I feel ashamed for you."

He Yan was silent for a while, hesitant to speak, "What happened to me last night?"

Lin Chang slapped his legs and made a gesture, "Your brains are so strong that you have raped that little emperor."

He Yan snorted coldly, "What do I think is a big deal..."

Lin Chang curled his lips, "What are you thinking, I haven't finished speaking yet, I'm forcing myself to kneel down."

He Yan's face froze, "He actually kneeled down for me?"

Lin Chang shook his head, "No, you are the one who kneeled down for him."

He Yan forced a laugh, "Kneel down to him? Do you think I can believe you?"

Lin Changdao: "If you don't believe me, go back and ask Xilian, a slave like him will never deceive you."

Then came again: "I've known you these years, this is the first time I've seen you like this, I couldn't bear the first few words you begged him, so I went to hide outside, and soon called Xi Lian Go in, at first I thought you could do something big, but in the end you fell asleep at the emperor's feet so quickly."

He Yan acted as if he had never heard of it, and there was no trace of anger on his face, but it also made people feel terrified.

Lin Chang suppressed the smile on his lips, raised his eyes to see He Yan's expression,

"According to what you said, let's forget about the previous things?"

He Yan stood still for a long time.

He opened his mouth, absent-mindedly, "Did you go to the emperor this morning?"

Lin Chang saw that he didn't want to say anything more, so he didn't force him, "No, but an imperial decree was issued, asking you to go to the southeast to supervise the army."

He Yan said: "Okay."

Lin Chang glanced at him, "Aren't you afraid there may be fraud in this?"

"How can there be any fraud? There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside the capital, and the imperial guards inside are already under my control. In addition, the military department and the cabinet of the imperial court are all my own people. The strength he has accumulated this year is weak. It’s hard to come back even if you walk.”

Lin Chang said: "I mean, I'm afraid that you may have an accident on the way from Beijing to the south."

He Yan shook his head and said: "No, just think about it, he knew you were leading the army, and he sent the 2 people in Lincheng to the reinforcements. There is no general in the court to solve the troubles, and I am the only one who can still use it right now, so he will definitely protect me in this matter."

Lin Chang pondered for a while in his heart, "But I heard from Fu Xuechuan today that the emperor issued the secret order on the day I arrived in the capital, that is, it was too late for the emperor to know, if the emperor got the letter in advance, you and I are now It's still unknown whether it's the Meridian Gate Hou Zhandu who are chatting and laughing here."

He Yan said: "Ning Yueguang guards the southeast fortress. If this is lost, the thieves will surely fall into the hands of the thieves. At that time, half of Daping's country may fall into the hands of the thieves. Now is the time to have no hesitation."

Lin Chang said: "The crisis in northern Xinjiang is also urgent, and I can't just stay in the capital. At that time, you and I will fight for our lives in the battlefield, and the capital will be empty..."

He Yan waved his hand, and didn't want to listen to his words, "It's just that the emperor doesn't make an order, so I invite the southeast. As for the capital, Fu Xuechuan should act cautiously to deal with all changes."

After a pause, he said again: "How many soldiers do you have under your command?"

Lin Chang was taken aback, "...one hundred thousand."

He Yan said: "Tell the truth."

Lin Chang lowered his head, "There are 30 mercenaries in the eight cities of Northern Xinjiang. They just paid their salaries to recruit soldiers two days ago, and there may be more mercenaries."

He Yan said: "Give me one hundred thousand."

Lin Chang immediately jumped up from the chair, "Why! No!"

Then he looked at He Yan with fear, "These 30 soldiers are needed to defend the northern border of Daping. On average, each city is not enough. If you say [-], that means there are no soldiers in the three cities. Are you kidding me?" !"

He Yan stood still and watched Lin Chang grumble for a while.

Lin Chang spoke aggressively, "I have taken a great risk by bringing 3 people back this time. Thanks to your fate, the barbarian army is safe for the time being. But I will make you the capital again, 3 People never come back, I am worried about how to fill such a big vacancy, you still want someone with me, let me tell you, I am the only one who wants someone! Is there any more!"

He Yan looked at Lin Chang, "Finished?"

Lin Chang tilted his head, "There are many more, and I can't finish them until you leave."

He Yan frowned slightly, "If you can defend, you can't do without soldiers in the southeast."

Lin Chang turned a deaf ear, "I'm sorry."

He Yan said: "I am an official supervisor, you are just a governor."

Lin Chang turned his head, "You..."

He Yan said: "I will lend it to me for half a month, and I will definitely repay it."

Lin Chang pondered for a moment, "Half a month is longer, how about seven days?"

He Yan said: "Ban Yue, 10 people, just set it like this, you can start to deploy troops."

Lin Chang spit out a mouthful of blood in his throat, "You've always been a nuisance to me..."

He Yan said, "I know you can do it."

Lin Chang said angrily: "That's because you don't know how difficult it is to defend the city! I've been forced to sing the empty city plan dozens of times, and I'm afraid it won't work this time!"

He Yan couldn't help but smile, "You've sung it ten times, and you won't do this one more time."

The corners of Lin Chang's eyes twitched, and he waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll give it to you, don't make fun of me here."

After stroking his heart for a while, he continued: "You really only borrow seven days?"

He Yan said: "It's half a month."

Lin Changdao: "The Southeast War can be finished in half a month?"

He Yan said: "Sun Bin will not be able to live again."

Lin Chang doubted: "Then you are..."

He Yan's voice was cold, "These 10 people are used to retreat hundreds of miles. When the situation is stabilized, I'm trying to find a way to recruit troops from the local area."

Lin Chang was very curious, "That's too fast."

He Yan's eyes were a little sly, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

-

For several days in a row, Yuan Jing did not have an early court.

In this way, the country's government affairs have become memorials, which are continuously delivered to the palace.

He Yan hadn't entered the palace for a long time, he just took care of everything outside.

Yuan Jing also approved the transfer of troops, seeing that the 10 people were about to arrive in the capital, and the expedition was imminent, but He Yan had to enter the palace once.

Let's talk about this day, He Yan took the memorial to ask for payment, and went into the royal study of the palace.

When he reached the imperial study room, He Yan raised his hand and was about to push the door open, but someone came out from inside.

Xilian glanced at He Yan, bowed his waist and bowed his head, and said without thinking:

"My lord, the emperor has already fallen asleep, and we can discuss matters at another time."

He Yan withdrew his hands, expressionless, "Sleeping here so early?"

Xi Lian's expression was extremely unnatural, "If your lord has any orders, this servant will tell you with all your heart."

He Yan said: "I want to see him."

Xi Lian knelt on the ground with a thud, "... I hope you will understand me."

The evening light of April fell into the long and narrow eyes, creating a cold warmth.

Looking past Xilian, He Yan looked into the open door.

The hall was pitch black, and the lights had not yet been lit.

Who knows if the people in there have a face that looks so pale.

He Yan sighed lightly, feeling a little sore in his heart.

"Forget it, hand this over to the emperor."

Xilian raised her head when she heard the words, her eyes flushed with nervousness, "Thank you for your understanding, my lord."

He Yan handed the memorial to Xi Lian, "I will go to fight against the bandits this time, but I also need some money. Your Majesty, don't be too embarrassing. If you can have it, it's good. If it's not enough, I'll find a way."

Xi connected the memorial, "The servant will tell you every word."

Seeing that He Yan did not leave for a long time, he boldly said: "My lord, please go back."

Seeing Xilian like this, He Yan felt chills in his heart.

He lowered his head and let go of his tyrannical aura, but he was in a decadent state.

"Has the emperor eaten these days?"

Xi Lian got up and wanted to leave, but upon hearing He Yan's words, he turned around again,

"Return to my lord, the emperor has been much better these few days."

He Yan said, "How are you?"

Xi Lian said: "My lord, the emperor's dragon body is still in good health."

He Yan took a deep breath, "Since this is the case, on the day of the expedition, I hope the emperor can come and see him off."

Xi Lian responded in a low voice, "I know."

-

In the summer of the sixth year of Yuan Jing, Fei Qing, the first-rank supervisor of the current dynasty, went south to fight against the bandits.

Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty personally practiced it for Fei Qing outside the city.

Outside the capital, Chen Shiju's army, with gold and iron horses, is as imposing as a rainbow.

The imperial court, dressed in civil and military clothes, stood on the west side of the city gate with their heads bowed, clasping their hands and cupping their fists, with a precious voice.

He Yan's black armor slayed, led a hundred thousand elite riders, and sat on the tall horse.

The stone road is singing sand, and there is a faint sound of wind and thunder.

The dragon chariot in the distance arrived late, but it still came after all.

He Yan turned his back to Chen Yang, his facial features were immersed in the shadows, but his arrogance was unmistakable.

When the dragon chariot was settled, the eunuch in fine clothes bowed forward, Xi Lian lifted the curtain lightly, and the emperor who leaned out from inside, with a crimson gauze and jade face, was unparalleled in elegance.

All the officials kowtowed, but in He Yan's ears, there was still silence.

Looking at the opposite Yuan Jing getting closer and closer, his black pupils were like cold lamps, full of hostility.

He Yan's eyes were almost cold, but they were hot. Seeing Yuan Jing approaching, he quickly got off his horse and knelt down on one knee.

Yuan Jing stood still and looked down at the person kneeling at his feet.

A cool wind suddenly blows, messing up the fine strands of hair in front of the forehead, and the brocade brocade soaring like dragons and clouds, wanting to fly into the void; in front of the eyes are endless shining knife tips, humming hard and endlessly.

On one side is the elegant dress, and on the other is the red tassel hunting.

Yuan Jing said coldly: "I hope you will return in triumph."

He Yan said indifferently: "My minister, obey the order."
