The Young Emperor and the Fearless

In the silent hall, even a slight sigh was extremely clear.

He Li said: "Why do you want to do this?"

Su Yu didn't answer.

He Li said: "Give me a reason!"

Su Yu said nothing.

He Liqi did not fight, and called outside the hall: "Come on, go and call Yuan Chengxiang."

Su Yu finally moved slightly, with imperceptible anxiety in his tone: "Is the emperor going to Lingyang City?"

He Li was too lazy to pay attention to him, and sat on the ground a few steps away with his legs crossed.

Su Yu: "Your Majesty..."

He seemed to want to say something, but when he looked up, he saw the young man who had just passed his weak crown, with his thin body curled up, looking desolate and lonely under the dim candlelight, and finally he didn't say anything.

**

The young emperor wanted to find someone, and everyone in the world knew about it.

This man's surname is Meng Mingqing, who was originally an important minister who assisted the emperor in the court.When the first emperor passed away, due to the sudden incident, there was no posthumous edict, which caused the court to be in turmoil for a while, and all kinds of powers rushed into the court to pave the way for his future.

At that time, He Li was still an ignorant and ignorant boy, spending his days at ease, flirting with flowers and grass, riding horses and playing with birds, and even completed his studies under the chasing of his master.

He never cared about the power disputes in the court and the matter of attracting contacts, so that when the late emperor passed away suddenly, all the ministers rebuked him in front of him for all the wrong things in the past, he was completely stunned, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

During that period of time, He Li was ignorant, only knowing that many things happened in the court, all of which were taken care of by Meng Qing.

When He Li had a serious illness and recovered after recovering from the illness, the DPRK and China were already peaceful.

And Meng Qing, one year after teaching him the way of the emperor, suddenly left without saying goodbye.If it wasn't for leaving a letter to tell Zhen Zhong, He Li would have thought that something had happened to him.

He Li never figured out why Meng Qing wanted to leave.

The letter at that time had been read over and over again, and there were only four characters, so cherish it, plus Meng Qing's signature, nothing else.

It was drizzling outside the window, and the weather was getting cooler.

The hall was cold and clear, and there was no trace of warmth.He Li trembled, as if shivering.

He turned his back to Su Yu, looking like he was sulking.

This guard, who has always been loyal to him, must have his reasons for not reporting what he knew.As for the reason, what he could guess was that there was something wrong with Meng Qing.

The more Su Yu kept silent, the more eager he was to know what happened to Meng Qing.

Yuan Zhimi came very quickly, as if he had long expected that the emperor would summon him, and sat drinking tea in the pavilion closest to the outside of the hall, never going far.

He entered the main hall, squinted at the kneeling guards, shook his head helplessly, saluted, and said: "I have seen the emperor."

He Li was still sitting on the ground, frowning, only raised his eyes and said: "Ping body."

Yuan Zhimi pulled the blanket that was thrown aside, gently draped it over He Li's body, and then sat side by side with him.

He Li's voice was a little hoarse, and he said straight to the point: "Meng Qing has news."

Prime Minister Yuan was not surprised, and said, "Why?"

He Li said: "He is in the Jiangnan area, Lingyang City."

Prime Minister Yuan said: "What is the emperor's plan?"

He Li said: "If you let Meng Qing come back, he will definitely not want to. I haven't seen him for a few years, and I miss him very much. Although I heard that he is doing well, I am still uneasy and want to see him in person. So , I'm going to take a trip."

He was able to say these words, it must be the result of careful consideration.

Prime Minister Yuan stood up, walked back and forth in the huge palace, and said: "Since the emperor has made up his mind, it is inconvenient for me to say more. It's just that when you leave, what should happen to the affairs of the court? State affairs are more important than children's private affairs. The emperor should put state affairs first."

He Li heard what he meant, and said, "Actually, like Su Yu, you don't want me to go to Meng Qing, do you?"

Yuan Zhimi pretended to be indifferent, met Su Yu's eyes on the kneeling ground, twitched the corner of his mouth, and then replied, "Why did the emperor say that?"

He Li wrapped the blanket around his body and said, "You were picked by Meng Qing. I can't make a judgment about your personal relationship. But regarding the matter of finding Meng Qing, I have always entrusted Su Yu to handle it, but It is said that you often talk in the moon-watching pavilion in the imperial garden, I think it's not just about asking for your health."

As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became colder.

Su Yu raised his head, staring at He Li nervously.

But Yuan Zhimi didn't expect that he would find his head, paused for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.He sat down next to He Li again, touched his shoulder, and sighed: "Your Majesty, you have grown a lot, and you have learned to use your eyes and ears to monitor the whereabouts of Guard Su and me."

He Li was still angry at first, but when Yuan Zhimi said this, his face flushed slightly, and he softened his tone and said: "I didn't monitor you, I just thought something was wrong, so I paid more attention..."

Yuan Zhimi simply opened up and said: "That's right, I do know about Meng Qing's matter, and it was the unanimous decision of Guard Su and I to keep it from you."

Although He Li had already guessed it, he still couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.Since the death of the first emperor, he has almost no relatives. Although there are many empresses in the harem, they are not very close.When Meng Qing was there, he relied on everything. After Meng Qing left, the two people in front of him became the most trusted people.Now that they are working together to deceive themselves, Heli feels as if he has been betrayed, and mournfully said: "Why are you doing this?"

Yuan Zhimi turned his head, stretched out his hand to pull He Li's cheek, stared into his moist eyes, and sighed: "Because of your stubbornness and your wrongful love."

He Li's heart moved, and he seemed to explain in a dazed voice: "I am to Meng Qing..."

Yuan Zhimi shook his head and interrupted: "Meng Qing has devoted himself to the country, and he treats you sincerely. He left without saying goodbye, and he didn't want you to look for him. He has deep meaning."

He Li chuckled: "Profound meaning? He left without explaining anything. Is that the deep meaning of his departure?"

Yuan Zhimi took his hand away from He Li's face, and stroked his hair again, as if to comfort a naughty child who was struggling: "Your Majesty, don't let your impatience get you in the head. You will understand the reason for Meng Qing's departure." .”

He Li wrapped the blanket around his body, looking very dazed: "I have been looking for Meng Qing for so many years, and I have been looking forward to his news. I am really angry that you kept it from me, but I can't blame him. You guys. I trust you, and know that each of you has unavoidable difficulties, but I don’t understand, why don’t you discuss it with me directly, why don’t you want to speak out? If there is a problem, let’s discuss it together and solve it, can’t it?”

Yuan Zhimi said: "The emperor has a kind heart, a pure nature, and can distinguish right from wrong. We didn't deliberately conceal the matter of Meng Qing, and the emperor can definitely understand the truth."

He Li smiled wryly and said, "Going around and going around, you still don't want to say it clearly."

Yuan Zhimi said: "The emperor made a mistake."

Wrong meaning?So what is right?

He Li stood up suddenly, and the blanket on his body slipped to the ground, only to hear him say: "I want to leave the palace."

Calling myself Zhen, it seems that I have made up my mind, and no refutation is allowed.Perhaps, he had already made up his mind when he called Yuan Zhimi over.

Yuan Zhimi stood aside quietly, waiting for his next words.

He Li said: "Prime Minister Yuan, I want to entrust you with something."

Yuan Zhimi sighed silently, and said: "As long as the emperor orders, I will do my best."
