Li Chongming governed the army rigorously. Although Li Zhenyuan was the son of a general, he could not overstep. He only got the official position of a centurion, but the tiger father had no dogs. Yes, he actually fought a few beautiful battles. In just four years, he was named a guerrilla general with military merits. He was only 21 years old, and he was only [-] years old, which was exactly what everyone guessed back then.

At the same time, the fourteenth princes were gradually rising in the court, and the few things entrusted by the old emperor were done very beautifully, which made everyone's eyes drop. You must know that the family of the fourteenth princes is low-powered, and they should be unknown. the Lord.

In the autumn of Deyou's 35th year, the old emperor became seriously ill, and Li Chongming and Li Zhenyuan were urgently recalled to Beijing.

Li Zhenyuan foresaw this day coming, but when this day finally came, he was still caught off guard.

Unprepared panic, unprepared surprise.

——I don’t know what the child in those days should look like now?

It was the severe winter when he left the imperial capital, the snow was flying heavily, and the snow slammed into people's faces fiercely. He rode on the horse and looked back at the city gate of the imperial capital.

Yuan Che stood silently under the empty wall.He was only 13 years old, and his short stature was almost overwhelmed by the crowd in front of him.

Li Zhenyuan looked at him from a distance, saw that his spine was straight, his expression was stubborn, his pink lips were frozen purple, and they were tightly pressed.

Looking at each other, a trace of surprise flashed in Yuan Che's cat's eyes, and he turned around quickly, disappearing from the crowd.

It's been four years since we left.

Autumn in the imperial capital is always full of bleakness.The boundless fallen trees are rustling, just like the empire that is approaching sunset, it is no wonder that the old emperor suddenly became seriously ill.

But in autumn, because of the excellent moonlight, it is also a good time to admire the moon and cherish people.

The moonlight was excellent that night, and some moonlight like clear water leaked from the window lattice and spread on the ground, which looked like hoarfrost that is common in autumn nights.

Li Zhenyuan was disturbed by the moonlight, tossing and turning, restless, so he put on his clothes and got up, and went out.

The sound of the flute is warm and distant, with an unspeakable desolation in the faint, but it is a song "Wang Ning Mei"

In the cool night wind and the moonlight in the middle of the night in the imperial capital, he looked extremely lonely and desolate.

"Who is it?" Li Zhenyuan asked secretly, frowned, and followed the voice forward.

Although Li Zhenyuan considered himself a vulgar person, he had studied in the Imperial College for so many years and listened to many ditties in the Washer Goulan, so he was considered a member of the class.Wondering in my heart, I thought of the poem from the previous dynasty, "Who's jade flute is flying darkly, scattered into the spring breeze to fill Luocheng." Now, isn't this "Whose jade flute is flying darkly, scattered into the autumn frost all over the emperor's capital"?

While thinking about it, he had already stood in front of a government office, with a large plaque hanging on it, with the words "Taichu Yuan" written in three flying and phoenix characters, and the emperor's seal on the bottom.

Four years have passed, but nothing has changed here, which is really touching.

Li Zhenyuan turned around, and saw a tall man standing tall, holding on to a flute, half hidden in the shadow of a camphor tree.Only the moonlight outlines the thin outline of the man.

Such as resentment, such as admiration, such as weeping, such as complaining.

Li Zhenyuan's heart was shocked, and he recognized that this was Yuan Che. Although he was an old friend, he was different from the past, so he took two steps forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and touched the ground with one knee: "Guerrilla General Li Zhenyuan, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince."

"General, please get up." The man walked out from the shadow of the tree. It was Yuan Che who hadn't seen him for four years.

Li Zhenyuan raised his head, and then looked carefully under the clear moonlight.Now Yuan Che is seventeen years old. In the past four years, his height has been pulled out a lot, and now he is only half a head behind him, showing a tall and tall figure of a young man, wearing a moon-white gown with a light robe and a loose belt.Only two strands of the waterfall-like blue silk were taken, and they were tied behind the head into a loose bun, exposing the pointed chin.

There are thousands of charms.Suddenly, Yuan Kun's joke came to mind: My fourteenth younger brother will grow up to be a beauty.

He remembered that there was such a line in Leisurely Love Fu: "He Guiyi's graceful posture is unique in the world to show the group. To show the beauty of the city, I hope to be virtuous in the rumors. Pei Mingyu is compared to cleanliness, and Qi Youlan is used to compete for fragrance." The words and phrases of "beautiful eyes in a blink of an eye, smile without distinction".

The poet's original intention was not beauty, but it is perfectly appropriate to describe the person in front of him. It is really not a lie.

The young man held the flute in his hand and asked rather playfully: "What is the general looking at?"

Li Zhenyuan knew that he was impolite, and replied: "This humble minister has lost his manners, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Yuan Che didn't answer him, but just asked; "You never called me Your Highness before, you only called me 'you', why did you change your name today?"

The young man's voice was clear and soft, and to Li Zhenyuan's ears, there was a bit of resentment, and he said hastily, "It's just because your highness is worthy of these two words."

"I'm ashamed to be your highness, the general."

Hearing his words, Li Zhenyuan couldn't help suspecting that he still remembered those things back then, so he said: "I was young and ignorant, and I offended His Highness a lot in Taichu Court. That night" he paused, thinking of the young Yuan Yuan under the silver moon Che, said: "It's also the minister who is abrupt, the minister"

"What is the general's fault?" Yuan Che interrupted Li Zhenyuan's words, somehow showing disappointment in his words: "If it wasn't for the general's favor back then, Yuan Che might not be here today."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

After a while, Li Zhenyuan asked tentatively: "Your Highness is here late at night, is it because of such a beautiful moonlight?"

Yuan Che stared at him with a pair of surprisingly deep and dark eyes: "Watching the moon also cherishes people."

"Husband?" Li Zhenyuan looked Yuan Che up and down, thinking that if a fairy-like figure like Yuan Che was to be cherished, he must be a beauty like a nine-day xuannv. "I don't know which family's young lady it is, but she must be a fairy-like woman."

Yuan Che slowly opened his mouth and said: "It's not that good-looking, but I have liked him since I was a child, and I can't help myself. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I miss him even more. He has also arrived in Beijing these two days, but I don't know how to express my feelings. "

Li Zhenyuan secretly ranked all the ladies from famous families in the capital, wondering which lady has such a superb ability to teach the fourteenth prince to come out to play the flute in the middle of the night to conceive someone.

"Does the general have anyone he cares about?"

"My mother passed away early, and I always accompany my father. Cheng Huan is at my knees, so I have nothing to worry about." Li Zhenyuan was in the army for four years, and the only person he often missed was Yuan Che. Now Yuan Che has grown into a teenager and is standing in front of him. .But how could this kind of thought come out? Yuan Che knew it, and thought he had obscene intentions.

Yuan Che smiled, looking like an exiled immortal under the moonlight, about to ride the wind to go home.

He looked at Li Zhenyuan in front of him.Four years ago, Li Zhenyuan was still a teenager. Although he acted recklessly and domineeringly, he laughed and cursed from the bottom of his heart.

Now he has faded away from his youthful and youthful outline, and has completely become a good man galloping on the battlefield. He is mature and calm, and he can't see clearly.

Is it because I have too much heart, or is he hiding it too well?Yuan Che sighed softly in his heart, and could only say: "It's because I was so sad for the spring and autumn that I made the general laugh. The general is the pillar of the country. Don't let your body break down and expose you more deeply. The general should go back to the mansion to rest."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, please go first."

Yuan Che nodded, turned around, and gradually walked away, disappearing into the dark night of the imperial capital.

The moonlight is so good, Li Zhenyuan raised his eyes to look at the silver plate in the sky, it is a pity that there is no sound of Qingyuan's flute.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Li Chongming looked at Li Zhenyuan and asked.He has always been majestic in front of his son, and Li Zhenyuan's heart was shocked by a simple question, and he quickly replied: "Yesterday, my son felt bored, so he went outside to relax."

"Yeah." He nodded and said: "This is in the capital, not like being in the army. There are eyes and ears everywhere. You must be careful in your words and deeds, and you must be more cautious in your actions. Pay attention to your identity."

Li Zhenyuan secretly wrote down: "My son understands."

When Li Zhenyuan arrived home, it was past the fourth watch.Li Chongming just got up, washed up, and when he sat down, it was almost five o'clock. He had been guarding the frontier all year round, and when he suddenly returned to Beijing, he was not used to the cumbersome etiquette.

The old emperor usually does not go to court early.Today, I don't know why, even if I drag my sick body, I have to go to court.

Even the emperor was not allowed to ride horses, so Li Chongming and Li Zhenyuan took a soft sedan chair.Although there was a lot of space in the sedan chair, the tall and burly father and son seemed cramped. Li Zhenyuan looked at Li Chongming with his eyes closed and rested, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.

It's not that I haven't seen the emperor before, it's just that the identity is different this time, and the feeling is naturally different.

At the gate of the palace, the father and son got off the sedan chair and walked into the palace with all the officials.The two came not too early or too late, the door of the palace was already opened, and all the officials entered the line one after another.

Li Chongming has a high position and weight, so he naturally ranks first among the military officers, while Li Zhenyuan is almost at the bottom of the team.

I don't know if Yuan Che is also here?Li Zhenyuan thought subconsciously, and unconsciously began to look for that figure, only to see Yuan Che was waiting in line with all the princes and princes, and they were also looking at him.

With four eyes facing each other, Yuan Che's agile eyes overflowed with a smile, and his pink face was like a lotus blooming.

Li Zhenyuan only felt that his heartbeat missed a few beats.All his life he was a man who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but at this moment he hastily looked away.

Yuan Che said yesterday that he longed for someone and grew up with him.He also said that the man had returned in two days.He went back yesterday and thought about it, but he couldn't find the corresponding person.Now being looked at by Yuan Che's beautiful eyes, an incredible idea popped up.

How can this be!Li Zhenyuan shook his head, laughing at himself for being suspicious.

At this moment, the eunuch interrupted his wild thoughts with "Your Majesty is here".

All the officials shouted "Long live Your Majesty" and bowed slowly.

Li Zhenyuan took a sneak peek at the old emperor, and felt that his complexion was not bad, far from being as bad as the rumors said. It seemed that the old emperor summoned the two of them back to Beijing more for the sake of the new emperor who was about to succeed him.

"Where is General Zhen Guo?" the emperor on the seat asked slowly.

"The minister is here." Li Chongming came out and kowtowed.

"Aiqing has guarded the border for Dasheng for many years, making Man Yiqiu dare not commit any crimes. It has really worked hard."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Pay attention to the salary of the food king, and dare not be unfaithful."

"En." The old emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Is the guerrilla general Li Zhenyuan here?"

As soon as Li Zhenyuan heard the old emperor call his name, he came out of the line calmly and said: "The guerrilla general Li Zhenyuan, a humble minister, kowtows to His Majesty."

Li Zhenyuan is quite tall, and he stands out among the generals.The old emperor looked up for a while, and couldn't help but praise: "Father Tiger has no dogs, he is really a heroic and good man, he is worthy of being the son of General Zhen Guo!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."

After exchanging greetings, the old emperor asked: "All my loves, is there anything else to say?"

"I have something to announce." A young man walked out of the officials.

Li Zhenyuan glanced at the young man, holding an elephant wat, with a calm demeanor, a handsome appearance, red lips and white teeth, which seemed very familiar to him.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"I report to Your Majesty about the case of the youngest son of the Zhong family."

"The youngest son of the Zhong family, but the one named Zhong Nian?"

"Exactly. Zhong Nian, raped women first, and burned people's houses later, resulting in seven members of the Zhao family in the suburbs of Beijing. Five of them were killed in the fire, but the remaining twins survived. I think this person is full of evil. According to the laws of Dasheng, he should be sentenced to death!" His tone was passionate and powerful, which made people feel irrefutable.
