My country is dead again [Rebirth]

Sun Bingde was prepared for Shen Ci to entangle with him for a period of time, but he did not expect that after Xie Ruzhuo made an order to make a decision on this matter, Shen Ci accepted the order very calmly, and then obediently spent three days thinking behind closed doors at home As soon as he was released, he brought Sun Bingde's favorite tea to the door to apologize.

Regardless of whether the sincerity of the apology is true or not, but at least it has done everything according to the will, and there is nothing to blame for what others do. In the end, Sun Bingde naturally had nothing to say, and the matter was left like this. Everyone couldn't help but sigh in private In a word, the only person who can control the prickly General Shen is His Majesty in the world.

Once this incident passed, Shen Ci returned to his familiar life, practicing in the three major battalions during the day, and going to the palace every few days in the evening to find Xie Ruzhuo. Ke came to him in the name of official business, and took the opportunity to ask if he was going to the palace today.

Seeing Zhao Ke's eyes getting weirder day by day, Shen Ci felt embarrassed, and very consciously, he would take the initiative to go there every other day.

This afternoon, Shen Ci finished handling the military affairs of the three major battalions ahead of schedule, and he went to the palace not long after the application time. The inner minister led him to the riding and shooting range. Seeing that Xie Mingting also rested this afternoon and did not study, he was pestering Xie Ruzhuo to teach him how to ride. He went to play with Xie Mingting for a while, and then Xie Ruzhuo sent Xie Mingting away without mercy, and took him back to Yongning Palace.

"Although it's okay this time, you should restrain yourself." Xie Ruzhuo and Shen Ci shared the peach cake stuffed by Ye Xinmei. Before Shen Ci knew it, he had already eaten half of it secretly. "You Didn't he just ignore Pei Yuankai before, and if Sun Bingde provokes you again, he just pretends he didn't hear it."

"Okay, I see." Shen Ci nodded obediently, and changed the subject again, "But Sun Bingde dared to talk about it, and then asked the speaker to read a few books, what else can he do to me? What else? Stop fighting?"

Xie Ruzhuo shook his head helplessly, and poked his forehead: "You are the only one who is right, let's accumulate some reputation for myself."

"I don't care about that." Shen Ci smiled, "Your reputation is enough."

Xie Ruzhuo recalled that in his previous life, he spent his whole life in camp, and finally got the holy name of a wise king, but looking at it now, these names in front and back are really meaningless. He got tired of Shen Ci and muttered: "I don't care about that either."

"You have done so much for Dayu, this is what you deserve." Shen Ci said softly, "My Qingzhu will be the most holy monarch of Dayu, whether it is the current person or the future person, I can only praise you, no one can scold you."

Xie Ruzhuo chuckled, and said, "Even if future generations scold, we won't hear it."

"Isn't it enough not to give them a chance to scold you?" Shen Ci softened when he saw him smiling, and kissed his cheek, "Whoever dares to scold you, even a ghost will not let him go."

Xie Ruzhuo also went to kiss his chin, feeling deeply that the two of them were soaked in gentle ambiguity at this time, and it would be good to mention something, so he lowered his voice, like a lingering whisper in his ear, and said closer: " The war will start again in the spring of next year, and I plan to fight in person."

As if wrapped in soft clouds, Shen Ci felt his bones go numb. Hearing what Xie Ruzhuo said, he didn't realize it at first, and responded with a nasal voice without realizing it. After a while, The words "Yu Jia's personal conquest" came out again in his mind, and then he suddenly realized that he pushed away Xie Ruzhuo who was stuck on his body, frowned, grabbed his waistline, and said, "What did you say? Yu Jia's personal conquest? You dare!"

Xie Ruzhuo knew that Shen Ci would say this, so he deliberately picked a time when he seemed distracted and infatuated, and wanted to take advantage of Shen Ci's unpreparedness to get away with it, but Shen Ci's reaction was still too fast, and he came back to his senses in an instant .

Hmph, so the previous emotion is all fake?

If it is true, why do you still have the heart to think about these things?

Xie Ruzhuo, who felt that he was being bullied by a heartless person, flattened his mouth in grievance, and said, "You are fierce and even pinch me."

Shen Ci: "..."

What did you say before, Xie Ruzhuo is really going farther and farther on the road to becoming a foolish king, and he still thinks about sex/temptation in front of him, thanks to him turning his head quickly and realizing that something is wrong, otherwise, wouldn't he just be caught by this The person deceived the past, and then I will do other things with Xie Ruzhuo at that time, and when I come back to my senses, it will be a done deal, and I will be powerless.

Shen Ci rubbed his waist, and coaxed softly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault." He also learned the essence of Xie Ruzhuo, hugged him a little closer, and said softly, "But this matter is not negotiable. , Pingdu, I will definitely get it back for you, you just stay in Lezhou and wait for me obediently, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"You said yourself that you will listen to me all your life." Xie Ruzhuo didn't buy it, pushed him away and grabbed his face again, "You don't listen to me at all."

"I'll listen to you for everything else, but this matter is really not negotiable." Shen Ci stopped talking softly to him, frowning and said solemnly, "Although we have the upper hand now, the front line still has the upper hand. It's very dangerous, don't worry me, okay? And there are so many things waiting for you in Lezhou, isn't it good to stay here? What do you think if Sun Bingde makes trouble once you leave?"

"There is a gentleman in the capital, there is a company, there is Wei Yang, and nothing will happen." Xie Ruzhuo pouted and looked unhappy, "The front line is fighting, or it is such a big deal to take back Pingdu, Sun Bingde also Don’t dare to stir up trouble in Beijing. Besides, once he wants to do something, the master will find something for him, anyway, it won’t make him live comfortably.”

"You have to listen to me about this." Shen Ci beat him to death without letting go, "You are not in good health, what should you do if you are sick again? I am easily distracted when you are by my side, so be obedient."

Xie Ruzhuo didn’t come on a whim either, he had already thought about this matter for a long time, and when he said it, he had thought of all the details, he snorted: “It’s okay if you don’t agree, anyway, I just told the cabinet in the afternoon, they didn’t agree Opinion, before you came, I had already sent people to draft the decree and prepare for the decree to be issued."

Dare to feel that this is a move that is cut first and played later, Shen Ci choked speechlessly, he was so angry that he really wanted to pinch his waist again, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he held back in the end and said, "Why do you have to go?"

"Two days ago, I talked to my husband about the shame of the fall of Pingdu. It was less than five years ago, and the people all remembered it, especially the people in Pingdu. Dazhao had established the capital here for five years. We wanted to move the capital back. We must completely wash away the shame of the past, or we will still be looked down upon by the common people." Xie Ruzhuo said patiently, "In the previous life, we have been separated for ten years, and many people may gradually forget it, but in the end, I still broke the city gate with you. The purpose of entering the city is for everyone to see with their own eyes that Dayu has spent ten years of hard work and courage, and finally came back to avenge his shame. This is even more so now. I will go on a personal expedition, which can win the hearts of the people and boost the morale of the army. This is a good thing .”

Of course Shen Ci knew Xie Ruzhuo's intentions and knew that it was a good thing, but how could he not be worried, and said: "Then you have to listen to me, you can't make your own opinions, and you can't run around."

"Yes, yes, I promise to listen to General Shen." Xie Ruzhuo smiled sweetly again, and rubbed into his arms, "Who do you listen to if you don't listen to you on the battlefield?"

Left and right Xie Ruzhuo has already announced the decree to the world, and Shen Ci has no way to make him change his mind, so he can only agree: "I listen to you, I really can't stand you."

Xie Ruzhuo was tired of him talking again, and then ate a plate of peach cakes into his stomach. Originally, Shen Ci wanted to accompany Xie Ruzhuo to finish the meal. Before sending it to the Ministry of War to review the budget for the number of supplies for next year's expedition, the Ministry of War Said that there are some specific items that need to be explained in detail with him, so he had no choice but to go out of the palace, and rushed to the Ministry of War to discuss matters before the principals of the Ministry of War had returned home.

In December, when local officials came to Beijing to report on their duties, there were many unfamiliar officials who came in and out of the Ministry of War, but everyone knew Shen Ci, and they would stop to say hello when they saw him, and he couldn't call him by name. A nod is the answer.

He was about to go in, but unexpectedly met a familiar person at the door, he turned his head and looked a little far away, and sure enough, he saw Pei Yunjing.

I haven't seen him for a year and a half, and the Pei family has undergone major changes. Pei Yunjing has lost a lot of weight, his face has become paler, and his eye sockets have sunken deeper, but the disgusting gloom on his face has dissipated a lot. The arrogance and domineering were restrained, looking at the shapeless body in the cold wind, looking up, and seeing Shen Ci, his eyes paused for a moment and then turned away lightly.

Shen Ci looked at Du Xun, who was talking to the officials of the Ministry of War at the door, and heard that he was talking about the compensation issue after the drought in the Cangzhou Guard. There is almost no harvest in the field, and the Pei family's incident happened again. The matters of reorganizing the guards, rebuilding the barren fields, and relocating the sergeants are still progressing slowly in the past six months. It is impossible for the court to spend so much money at once. Can be given in batches.

To put it bluntly, the sixth part is still a dish. In the past, the Pei family was in full swing, and the money was given faster than anyone else. Now that the Pei family has fallen, the money is not easy to get. The Ministry of War used the front line as a pretext to drag one or two It's hard to say anything for a month, but the past two months are like years for the Cangzhou Guard, and it is not easy to withstand the pressure from top to bottom and stabilize the situation.

In the past, Du Xun was used to being domineering when he followed Pei Yunjing, but Shen Ci rarely saw him talking to others in a low voice, and asked a chief of the Ministry of War's Arsenal to ask the other party to help pay the next batch of money as soon as possible. The master frowned and didn't pay much attention.

Shen Ci took another look, didn't say anything, and quickly walked into the Ministry of War to find Han Zhen and the two servants to talk about the luggage.

These few people were quite polite to him today, and the conversation went fairly smoothly. When they were about to leave, they said they were going to a banquet, and left the rest of the matter to the officials below. They are familiar with Du Ruo, and they have nothing to dislike about Shen Ci, not to mention that their official positions are much different from Shen Ci's, so they dare not neglect, and quickly helped Shen Ci finish the remaining tasks.

Shen Ci was about to leave with the document that had been stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War. When he saw Bai Yue, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the chief officer he had met at the door, he stopped them, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Pei's family Has anyone left?"

The chief took a look at him, thinking that he was at odds with the Pei family, and hurriedly said: "I haven't left yet, and I'm dragging the Wu Xuan Qing officials at the door. General Shen, why don't you sit down first?"

Shen Ci was silent for a moment, and said to Bai Yue: "The guards in Cangzhou are not easy. Mr. Bai has also been to Cangzhou, and it will be the New Year's Eve. The Pei family is not the same as before. The soldiers below are all waiting for money from the court. They won’t be able to do things after they can’t get it out, can Mr. Bai help to pay the next batch of silver in the next two days?” He said, cupping his hands to Bai Yue, “Forget that I owe you a favor, I will ask you to pay for it some other day.” My lord is eating, and if you need help in the future, just say it."

"General Shen speaks seriously." Bai Yue hurriedly replied, "General Shen has already said so, so I will help with this. Although the subordinate officials do not have the final say in the Ministry of War, they can still say a few words."

Shen Ci nodded and said, "Thank you."

He declined the invitation from the military officials to keep him for a cup of tea, and left with the paperwork. When he arrived at the door, Du Xun and Pei Yunjing had already left, but he probably didn't return to Cangzhou so soon. Since Bai Yue agreed, he would definitely solve it.

Pei Yunjing and Du Xun on the other side were walking towards the post house, feeling a little heavy, but unexpectedly the Ministry of War sent someone to chase them, and asked them to go back, saying that the matter of money could be settled, and they would go get a document first, and come back tomorrow The Lord of the Ministry stamped the seal.

Pei Yunjing immediately guessed something, went back to get the paperwork, and walked in the opposite direction to the posthouse, and saw Shen Ci's back after a while.

Du Xun chased up and stopped Shen Ci, and asked, "Where are you from the Ministry of War... are you helping?"

"I was also going to do some business, so I mentioned it by the way." Shen Ci didn't expect that he would be so embarrassing, and this matter had a clue in a blink of an eye, and when he remembered that Du Xun had said so much before, it was useless, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. Looking back After looking around, I didn't see Pei Yunjing. This person wants to save face, so he must be too embarrassed to see me, "It's not easy for him to support the Pei family by himself, it's just a matter of effort."

Du Xun said: "Thank you for Fifth Young Master."

Shen Ci asked, "Is he in good health?"

"That's it." Du Xun whispered, "I'm still taking the medicine."

Shen Ci took out an envelope from his pocket and put it in Du Xun's hand, saying: "There are 300 taels of silver bills inside, let's say Shen Ci returned it to Fifth Young Master."

The sky was getting cloudy, as if it was going to snow, Shen Ci continued to walk towards Tantai Lane, and when he was about to reach the entrance of the alley, Du Xun chased after him again, panting slightly, handed back the envelope in his hand, and said: " Take it back. The fifth young master said that he likes to owe nothing to each other. No matter how bad it is, others owe him. When Cangzhou retreated from the war, His Majesty wanted to see General Pei. You came to him. In the past, you couldn’t tell who owed whom, so you should treat it as nothing. If you feel uneasy holding the 300 taels of silver, then treat it as if you owe him 300 taels, and you will never have to pay it back in your life.”

Shen Ci didn't know what to say, so he could only say one thing in his heart, this was indeed something that only Pei Yunjing could say, shameless and unreasonable, he didn't say any more, took back the 300 taels of silver notes, and moved on After a glance, Pei Yunjing tightened his cloak and was coughing on his side. He noticed that someone was looking at him, and looked back. His eyes were clear and emotionless, as if he could see the prosperity of the past from those eyes. The curtain ends, leaving behind the loneliness and desolation of winter.

After all, Pei Yunjing didn't come forward to say a word to him, turned around and got on the horse, and left first to go to the direction of the post house.

This year's festival is not much different from previous years, but after the opening of the court, the court has been busy, making preparations for Xie Ruzhuo's imperial conquest after the opening of the spring.

The day before the vernal equinox, Xie Ruzhuo held a feast for the officials in the palace to practice for tomorrow's expedition.

Everyone didn't expect the emperor to be so open today, holding a wine glass, he came down to clink glasses with the ministers, chatted and laughed with them, and laughed wantonly when he talked about the beginning of the rise, making people believe that he would indeed have such pride Zhizhi went south the next day.

Xie Ruzhuo has never been very good at drinking, he was a little drunk for a long time, and his mind is also hazy. He squinted his eyes to see the mingling of cups in the hall. Seeing that he was in a good mood, all the officials let him go, toasted and laughed with each other, and he was about to return to Pingdu The joy also hit everyone's mind. Many people were also half drunk and half awake. They recalled the grand scene of Pingdu together, and thought of the majesty and majesty of the Huangji Palace when the first emperor ascended the throne. Crying and laughing, unrestrained.

Others think that this road has been walked for five years, and it is just a flick of a finger, but in fact he has walked for two lifetimes. For decades, all the familiar and unfamiliar people and things in the previous life and the present life overlapped and separated before his eyes. He saw many people, Young, old, high-spirited, and late heroes, some of them are still alive, some are dead, some will fall into dreams, and some will fade from memory. It's a long song when you cry, it seems like a laughing song, he seems to be traveling alone in the world of mortals, and he seems to be drifting in it.

Past and present lives are like a drunken dream, and today there is no need to hold on to anything, he also laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Going with wine, let's go back. The rise and fall of the ages is drunk!"

Sun Bingde sat at the front and poured himself a drink, and did not join in the chaotic carnival. Xie Ruzhuo staggered forward, knocked the wine bottle on his table, filled both of them, and the clear liquid spilled out Sliding down the edge of the table, tick-tock landed on the ground.

"Yuan Weng, I would like to respect you..." Xie Ruzhuo's complexion was flushed red, his peach eyes were full of water, but there was a presumptuous smile on his lips, "I know that you have feelings for Dayu, otherwise you would I won't be able to support the overall situation when Pingdu falls... All these years without you in Dayu, the government cannot be rebuilt, the government orders cannot be implemented, and we can't make it to today... In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I still respect you..."

Sun Bingde frowned slightly. He probably didn't expect the emperor to say these words when he was drunk, so he kept silent and waited for the emperor to continue.

"Your persistence can't be said to be wrong, it may be right, and I can't judge... But, if you learn to be like me and let go of some obsessions, maybe we can still be friends..." Xie Ruzhuo smiled He went to touch Sun Bingde's wine bottle, "Look, the civil servants and I have fought back and forth. After decades, they will all be turned into loess. We are all just a few lines in the history books. What's the point of fighting? I don't know. It may be true for thousands of generations, and it is impossible for you to sit in this position for the rest of your life. In the end, you will give it to others. Does it mean to make wedding dresses for others?" He felt more and more funny, and laughed, " What an irony."

Sun Bingde still ignored him, quietly looked at the drunken emperor, and finally raised his wine bottle to drink with him.

Xie Ruzhuo seemed to want to say something more, but he was already shaking and couldn't stand still. He tripped over the floor-length dress and almost fell on Sun Bingde's table. Then the whole person fell into a warm embrace.

"Your Majesty?" Shen Ci's voice came, "I will ask someone to take you back to the palace."

Xie Ruzhuo was so drunk that he looked up to see Shen Ci's eyes, smiled idiotically, then raised the jug and poured some wine into the wine bottle, hung it on his body, and said, "General Shen, I want to toast you too. ..."

Shen Ci laughed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, you have already paid respects before."

Xie Ruzhuo was unhappy, and muttered: "I want to respect you, why don't you let me..."

"Okay, okay." Shen Ci took the wine bottle in his hand, and finished the wine in the glass, "Drink it up, your majesty, go back to the palace."

"Hush." ​​Xie Ruzhuo raised a finger to his lips, and looked at him without blinking, "Let's go secretly, don't tell anyone." Xie Ruzhuo snickered, and said softly, "Because you want to come with me Go back, don't go, don't let them know you're going to sleep with me."

Shen Ci: "..."

I don't know for a while whether this person is really drunk or pretending to be drunk.

In the end, Shen Ci supported him and left from the apse. After returning to Yongning Palace, this man was really clinging to him and would not let go. Shen Ci had no choice but to stay in Yongning Palace and sleep with him.

In the middle of the night, Xie Ruzhuo fell asleep soundly on his arm, murmuring "walk with me" in his dream, rubbing his head against his arm and then against his chest, just like a kitten.

When the sun rose the next day, the soldiers of the three battalions were already in armor and waiting outside the city. The young emperor put on the armor, carried a bow and arrow on his back, rode away from Beijing in the golden sun, and took his generals and soldiers with him. Back to the old capital.

The author has something to say: Xiao Xie: Aren’t I like a rabbit, why am I like a cat again?

Mother: Just to praise you for being cute.

Xiao Xie: I’m cute, I don’t know yet (shy)

Xiao Shen: I know too (shy)
