I write novels in the East Palace

When Fang Guanyan was awake, his surroundings were empty, and when he touched the bed, it was already cold.

At this time, the sky had not yet brightened, only a small candle was lit in the room, and the light was very dim, probably because he had stayed with Zhou Chengyi for a long time, and he had also acquired some of his problems. for a moment.

As a result, when he turned his head, he met a pair of eyes that seemed to be resentful. Zhou Chengyu sat there for an unknown how long, holding a memorial in his hand.

"Sister-in-law, are you awake? Do you have a dry mouth? Do you want to drink water?" Zhou Chengyu's appearance and voice followed Concubine Chen's, soft and soft, and now he lowered his voice, and he sounded even more obedient, as if the resentment he saw before was just an illusion.

Fang Guanyan almost thought he was still in a dream, he suddenly realized for a moment, then shook his head, "Thank you Your Majesty, I will come by myself."

He got up and walked over to the table.

"Hmm." Zhou Chengyu didn't force himself, and took the initiative to explain with an intimate and natural attitude, "Fourth Brother went to Qianyuan Palace, Director Wang..."

She paused for a moment, her expression briefly lost in thought, and then she continued, "Followed the father."

Fang Guanyan understood the meaning of this sentence, he paused while pouring tea, and suddenly remembered the sentence Wang He said when he said goodbye, no wonder it was so weird, it turned out to be the meaning.

The emperor can be said to have been watched by Wang He when he grew up. He accompanied him on lunch breaks throughout the year for four to fifty years. Naturally, there was nothing to say about his feelings, so sometimes Wang He did not speak and act like a servant girl, no matter the people in the palace or the court. Above all, I dare not offend this Manager Wang.

And even if the emperor passed away and the emperor ascended the throne, Wang He had to step down from the position of the general manager to take care of his life, and he would not be treated badly.

No one thought that Wang He would send himself to see the emperor with just such a rope, but thinking about it now, he didn't think it was too surprising.

Fang Guanyan and Zhou Chengyu were sitting opposite each other. Zhou Chengyu was dealing with the backlog of memorials, and he was basically able to handle them by himself, only occasionally asking Fang Guanyan for advice.

Zhou Chengyi never came back, the sky was bright, Fang Guanyan blew out the candle, Zhou Chengyu put down the memorial in his hand and closed his eyes a little tiredly, when he opened it again, there was nothing left, and the expression on his face instantly changed. changed.

Seriously, it doesn't look good close to a lot.

The two went to Qianyuan Palace together, Zhou Chengyi, Zhou Chengyao, and Zhong Liyue were all there.

The expressions of the few people were slightly cold, and they seemed to be on the verge of breaking out. Fang Guanyan stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

"Are you here, have you eaten yet?" Zhou Chengyi was the first to inquire about his body, and then handed over an urgently delivered military newspaper, "A letter from Pei Ming, Shaman Chen Bing, a hundred miles away from Ruchuan, with ambition Vigorously ready to move."

"They got the news so soon?" Fang Guanyan opened the letter and read it carefully, his eyes suddenly paused in one place, "Is the leader Aurora?"

"Yes, she also gave the news to Pei Ming." Zhou Chengyi pulled him over and hugged him vaguely, resting his chin on his shoulder, squinting his eyes, charging quietly, and asked, "Ayan, analyze and analyze .”

"Aurora is the heir apparent of Sha Man, but as far as I know, Empress Yevgenia's preferred heir is not her, and the empress's lover is instigating in the middle. The relationship between mother and daughter has been tense for many years, especially After Aurora took the position of leader of the palace army."

"The empress is getting old, and now she is more and more inclined...but that one is not the child of the former emperor Vasily. The nobles and ministers are putting more and more pressure on her. The empress is eager to do something to divert the minister's attention."

The conditions given by Beihu were not only tribute, but also the cession of the territory that moved the queen most. Moreover, Burigude was extremely arrogant and proposed to carve up the country of Xiao. The queen was also cunning. She first made friends with both sides and threw olive branches. Later, he did not fully agree with Brigude's cooperation opinion, but used "exchange".

Beihu first ceded the border territory and led [-] cannons. As long as he showed his due strength, the queen would definitely sign the partition treaty with him.

It was precisely because of this that Brigude made his idea on Aurora. Of course, the Queen knew that Aurora could not get married, but the domestic situation made it difficult for her to breathe, so she found an excuse to send Aurora out. .

These are the conclusions drawn by Fang Guanyan based on various information.

The failure of Beihu is actually equivalent to the failure of the queen's decision-making, but she won a piece of territory for nothing, which is not a loss. However, Aurora used "the battle of Ruchuan as the enemy of Xiaoguo and offended a powerful neighbor" The reason is that he turned the scene of the peace into a negative.

This is exactly how Fang Guanyan persuaded the queen to pay compensation.

The Battle of Ruchuan proved to Sha Man how strong the Xiao Kingdom was with the tragic [-] casualties. This spirit of never shrinking back even in the face of artillery fire and persevering until victory is really a bit tricky.

"Princess Lola, it sounds like she has more brains than her mother, and she also knows that Beihu can't cooperate." Zhong Liyue leaned halfway on the chair, speaking lazily, as if unable to lift his spirits, "But she's also smart. If she doesn't go anywhere, she has soldiers in her hands and is ordered to order around, she can't kill her own mother, so can't she kill her lover and sister?"

"Just sit firmly on the position of the crown prince, and it will be useless if the queen doesn't want to pass the throne to her."

Zhou Chengyao had never been on a battlefield, and the worst thing he had ever experienced was Zhou Chengan's rebellion. Hearing this, his pupils shrank, and he said for a long while, "Why so..."

"You think it's poisonous?" The words that were deliberately hidden were said carelessly by the person concerned.

Zhong Liyue twitched the corners of his mouth indifferently, and said, "In this case, you can't talk about morality and feelings, and the fastest shortcut is to do it directly."

"It's also the fastest shortcut to beheading." Zhou Chengyi interjected.

Zhong Liyue looked at him with admiration, and his speech speed picked up in an instant, regaining some of his former vivacity, "As expected of my nephew, he thinks the same as my uncle. It is said that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Don't take a risk and gamble." How can you know the beauty of the polarization of heaven and hell."

"If you win, you will be enthroned as emperor. If you count it, you will have a big scar on the mouth of the bowl on your neck. Instead of calculating and calculating like this, you have to be careful about death for the rest of your life. It's better to go forward bravely and go up. Well, how happy, how can I vomit blood and die."

The more Zhou Chengyi listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked over, and now he finally understood that his uncle was the emperor lying in the coffin in front of him.

Zhou Chengyu reminded, "Father didn't vomit blood to death, he survived until that time, and didn't dare to close his eyes when he slept at night, waiting for the news of the border crossing to come to Beijing..."

"This sick body is caused by worrying." Zhong Liyue sneered, and then closed his mouth after saying, "Fate is counting bastards", his expression returned to laziness, and there was only a little more between his brows. very sickly.

Zhou Chengyu glanced at him silently, and suddenly seemed to have understood something, his eyes were complicated and weird, and he patted the back of his hand, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Huh?" Zhong Liyue was puzzled, "What are you doing, little emperor?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Chengyu turned his head to change the subject and told Fang Guanyan to continue his analysis.

Fang Guanyan pondered for a moment, and for some reason, he remembered that Aurora had asked him about the general who defended the city before, and he belatedly realized that the person Aurora was talking about was not Zhong Liyue, but Zhou Chengyi.

He smiled inexplicably, and it sounded good or bad, "Princess, maybe I want to get married."

"What?" Zhou Chengyi became nervous, tightened his arms around him, held Fang Guanyan's chin to force him to look up, and whispered tensely with a wary look, "Is she looking at you? "

Fang Guanyan: "..."

"No, I'm just a courtier, and her marriage with me is of no use." Fang Guanyan said, turning the subject directly, "Aurora and the Queen are at odds, and she has never expressed ill will towards our country. The biggest possibility is I want to surrender and ask for peace."

"These are my guesses, and I don't rule out other possibilities." He added rigorously.

Zhou Chengyu had an idea on how to deal with it, "Send an envoy to talk about it."

As she spoke, she looked at Fang Guanyan, who had already been to Shaman once, and felt that she was familiar with him once, and was about to speak, when Zhou Chengyi said directly, "Send Yu Shangshu."

"I'll go back too." Zhong Liyue is in Beijing, but he is very concerned about the border affairs, he said, "The wolf will show its teeth when it sees the meat, and talk directly to Beihu. I'm not afraid that she will refuse, the medicine is to refuse." Just add the Western Regions."

Several people looked at him, and Zhou Chengyi said with great interest, "What does uncle mean, divide up Beihu?"

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Zhong Liyue didn't say it directly, but such a sentence seemed like a reassurance.

The mission was settled so easily.

The emperor passed away, and the whole country was mourned. White flags fluttered inside and outside Chang'an City. Entertainment activities such as night markets, listening to operas, singing and watching dramas were banned. Even folk marriages were not allowed to be too public.

The "Martyr's Monument", which was handed over to Fu Qian very late because of the sudden death of the emperor, was finally added to the shelves, and the cover of "Chang'an" magazine was replaced with a picture of the ruins drawn according to its content.

At the same time, Zhaojialou's "Daily News" also published this sacrificial article signed by the author "Zhou Chengyi". They never had Fu Qian's fancy tricks, and only printed part of the sacrificial article on the cover to ensure that readers would buy it even if they didn't buy it. It can be seen at a glance, and even the name of the magazine is directly removed in order to print a wonderful paragraph.

It can be said that it is full of painstaking efforts.

And that's not enough.

Zhou Chengyi once said in the sacrificial text that if the whole Xiao Kingdom knew the heroes who died in Ruchuan, Fu Qian could not reach the whole country for the time being, but a Chang'an city could still be realized. In fact, not only Chang'an, but also the neighboring For the city, Fu Qian contributed his best.

So the streets and alleys, day and night, talked about "The Monument of the Martyrs".For the literati, use the method of the literati, and use the method of the common people for the common people, compose easy-to-understand scriptures and sing songs, and spread the news to everyone's ears.

Recently, in the three cities of Chang'an, the anger and dissatisfaction towards Beihu has climbed to the peak. Some people are full of righteous indignation and count the chaos that Beihu made in the border. past.

In a family’s home in the depths of an alley on West Chang’an Street, a newspaper boy passed by yelling, and saw a girl with braided croissants running out holding a few copper coins, “Brother, there is a day… a day…”

She got stuck, scratched her hair anxiously, stomped her feet vigorously, but couldn't figure out what it was.

The newsboy reassured her, "Don't worry, but the "Daily News" from Zhaojialou?"

"That's right, that's it!" The girl nodded like a garlic.

After handing over the copper coin and taking the book back to the small courtyard, the woman who was washing clothes stood up immediately, wiped her hands on her body, and then took the thin book, saying, "How can such a thin book cost so much?" Seven copper plates", while carefully flipping open to look.

When I saw halfway through, I suddenly shouted loudly, "Oh, Marshal Zhongli has an explanation about the Beihu war today!"

Most of the women in the market have loud voices, which are especially suitable for singing folk songs. With a loud voice, the next door can be heard clearly, and many people squeezed in immediately?

"How do you say it?" The half-year-old boy who had just left school was about to push open the door opposite. The strong body is squeezed directly into the middle.

The woman upstairs who had just moved in also opened the window, looking a little more energetic with a tired look all day long, while she was breastfeeding her infant daughter, she poked half her head out of the window and listened carefully in silence.

"Let me see... Beihu Khan Burigude..."

The woman could barely read, and she read very slowly, and the listeners were anxious. The half-grown boy said "Oops", snatched it away, and said, "Aunt Wang, let me read it."

Aunt Wang frowned in displeasure, she didn't say anything during the young man's fast and fluent reading aloud, she just thought in her heart: the rice has been harvested, and since there is only sun drying of the rice, how many night schools are there these days? If you know a few words, at least you won't be snatched away when you read the newspaper later.

The same thing happened in different marketplaces.

Because of the vivid and tragic description in the "Monument of the Martyrs", Xiao Guo's national cohesion was unprecedentedly strong, and more and more people finally raised their heads from numbness and began to care about national affairs. Everyone is responsible".

Zhou Chengyi was happy to hear about this situation.

This proves that every aspect of this country is changing, from the monarch to the subjects.The ignorance of the people is created by the times, and when the times give them the space and freedom to think, the voices at the bottom will flourish.

This is a crowbar that shakes soldiers and dignitaries. Although it has not yet demonstrated its power, it has already been placed under the stone called "class".

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything, but for now, this is still a great thing.

The national funeral was naturally grand, but the weather was so hot that it was not easy to let the emperor's dragon body stand for too long, and it finally entered the imperial mausoleum when August came.

Zhou Chengyu looked at Feng Ling quietly, his eyes were moist, but no more tears fell.

As soon as she turned around, her eyes were sharp and her figure was straight. She turned into the empress who created the prosperity of Anchang in history.

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Zhou Chengyu: I want to reuse the emperor's wife.

Zhou Chengyi: It can be reused. I will go to Shaman and meet with Aurora!

Aurora:? ? ?

Fang Guanyan: ... (drinking tea tactically)
