My country is dead again [Rebirth]

In this life, Xie Ruzhuo wanted to shorten the time for all the things to be done, so as soon as Hua Yangjiao proposed this strategy, he immediately started it.

He chose Wu Xianrong first.

Last year Wu Xianrong wanted to go to Beijing, but he didn't agree, this time he took the initiative to let Liu Yan'er send a letter to Wu Xianrong to go to Beijing secretly.

From Xishan to Lezhou, it would take one day and one night to get there quickly. Wu Xianrong kept his promise and only brought a small group of people, stayed outside the city, and entered the palace through the west gate alone under the support of Dongchang.

Wu Xianrong and Xu Zishen were born in the same year, and they were also in their prime. He looked like a handsome young man at the age of 20. The years have engraved traces, and after the blood has settled on the battlefield, he has a different flavor, just like everything The thick ink and heavy colors are backlogged under the firm and sharp corners. With just one look, the person on the opposite side will know that this is not a rich and noble man in the capital, but a general who has seen and defeated countless swords and swords.

Just looking at his looks and demeanor, Xie Ruzhuo also felt that Wu Xianrong was better than the late emperor, and it was not unreasonable for Liu Yaner to fall in love with him back then.

Wu Xianrong kowtowed respectfully, and Xie Ruzhuo invited him to sit on the other side of the short table.

This is a relatively remote palace, named Feilong Pavilion. It is the library building of the palace. It has not been repaired for several generations. There are not many books left, and it is half abandoned. Xie Ruzhuo cleaned up a clean place on the second floor and put it The short table and the tea stove, without the alienation between the monarch and his subjects in the palace, look like two old friends chatting and drinking tea.

After serving the tea, the courtier quietly retreated. Because of Liu Yan'er, Xie Ruzhuo always felt a subtle embarrassment after staying with Wu Xianrong for a long time, so he said directly: "I am very sincere, so I came to ask General Wu personally, What do you want from me?"

Wu Xianrong is obviously not the kind of Tai Chi-loving official in Beijing. Hearing what Xie Ruzhuo said, he was silent for a while, and then said frankly: "The four towns in northern Xinjiang want similar things. They are far away from the capital and have been guarding the border for many years. I also want to take a trip to the deep water of the capital, and leave a way out for myself. Besides, I hope that the king will be less suspicious and take a step back."

"I can understand that you have really worked hard to defend the border. Without you, the northern border will not be able to survive long ago. Naturally, the imperial court will not forget your credit and hard work." Xie Ruzhuo smiled in the light heat. He also fainted, "You want to form an alliance with the queen mother, you want to have a few people of your own in the capital, and you can say a few words in the court, I can agree to it, and I won't interfere. I can also give you King Qin Ling, how about bringing troops into King Jingqin in a special season?"

Wu Xianrong raised his eyes in surprise, and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

The four chief soldiers in northern Xinjiang are all local emperors in their respective territories, and they have done a lot of things that are not accepted by the orders of the emperors outside. However, the rules have been set since the time of Tai Zu. If they really want to go to the unspeakable step, they are destined to encounter a lot of resistance.

Now that Xie Ruzhuo granted the King Qin's order, he was willing to put a knife that could kill people into his hands.

But Xie Ruzhuo's demeanor was calm and extremely relaxed, as if he knew everything in his mind, Wu Xianrong said with a low smile: "Your Majesty should have left behind?"

"I have already made it clear what I can give, and the rest is my own business, so there is no need for the general to worry about it." Xie Ruzhuo gently waved away the fog that slightly obscured his vision, "King Qin ordered me to give it to you only. You have friendship with the Queen Mother. Qin Wang Ling is the most useful to you, I will not use this to negotiate terms with other people."

Wu Xianrong didn't say any more, the other three commanders had no contact with the royal family, and it was really not as useful as him to get the King's Order, Xie Ruzhuo could afford it, so he naturally had to afford it, and said instead: "There is one more thing, When does His Majesty plan to check out the Guards Army?"

The Pei family has the deepest entanglement with the guards, and they must have their hands in Xishan. Xie Ruzhuo understood what he meant, and said: "I will definitely investigate, but how to investigate is up to me, and I will not embarrass the general. Yes." Xie Ruzhuo let out a sigh of relief amidst the fragrance of tea, raised his glass to Wu Xianrong, and said with a smile, "Leave a line in life, so we can meet each other in the future. I hope the general understands this truth."

Wu Xianrong was in contact with the new emperor for the first time, and after only a few words, he knew that the new emperor was not easy.

"How many years has the general not seen her?" Just after noon, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly asked, looking at the shadow of the sun outside the Feilong Pavilion.

He didn't mention his name, he didn't even mention his gender, but Wu Xianrong already knew who Xie Ruzhuo was referring to, and his eyes turned sideways, falling into the void outside the window, and said, "It's been almost 20 years."

Xie Ruzhuo stopped talking, quietly watching the shadow of the sun cast mottled fragments of light among the treetops, a cloud floated over from the sky, and the fragments of light disappeared in an instant.

"Recently, she likes to stand alone on the turret next to Chengde Gate. You go and see her." The clouds have become more numerous, and whether the sun will appear again for a while, Xie Ruzhuo whispered, like some kind of sigh, "Her health is not very good. In fact, she is already tired."

Wu Xianrong closed his eyes, his hands on his knees trembled slightly, his face seemed to be stained with endless vicissitudes in the dark shadows, he stood up and saluted Xie Ruzhuo. The sound, the footsteps gradually faded away.

Chengde Gate is in the northwest of the palace, and the direction from the turret is also northwest.

In the northwest of Lezhou, there is a military fortress named Tiao County. After Pei Yuankai sent troops to Anhuai, Wu Xianrong set his sights on this place. A little further away, there is the sandy Fanhe River. On the other side of the river is Fanzhou. Going to the northern border, you can see the guard posts stationed by Xishan every five miles.

After spring, it was still cloudy and cold enough to make people shiver, but the person on the turret was only wearing a red dress covered with light gauze. Her figure was slender, and the red dancing in the wind almost covered her figure.

Wu Xianrong stepped up to the turret, stood and watched quietly.

It was a mass of bright red without any variegated colors or patterns, like fire and clouds, burning his eyes.

He walked over gently, and greeted him with a salute: "Your Majesty."

Liu Yan'er didn't look at him, but just looked into the distance, and said calmly, "You're here."

Shen Kuo's voice is so familiar, Wu Xianrong thinks of the Jiaofang Secretary in Pingdu, who was singing and dancing in Pingdu. On many fiery nights, he followed Shaowu into the quiet and elegant room in the back hall, and the girl would deliberately throw red apricots on his shoulder. , giggled at him, and said one more sentence: "You are here."

The girl's smile disappeared like a flower or a bubble, Wu Xianrong came back to his senses, the flying red gauze brushed his shoulder, he said softly: "Your Majesty is beautiful in a red dress."

Liu Yan'er seemed to smile, but she didn't seem to. The expression on her face was no longer seen often, and she was always as indifferent as a statue, saying: "But I'm already old."

Many years ago, the girl who liked to dance swords on the drum envied the newlyweds in red dresses the most. Sometimes when entering the palace, she would see the red dresses of the married woman and the queen. She thought red was so beautiful, The women who wear her are all beautiful.

It's a pity that she is a prostitute, and she must never touch the color of scarlet. The closest thing she can wear to scarlet is a water-red dance skirt, but that is far from the flaming red.

She said to the person she likes that one day she must wear a bright red dress to dance. After thinking about it, she felt that it was not enough. She joked that she should wear it every day and all the time, so that no matter where she was, Anyone she likes can look at her so hard she can't turn their eyes away.

Married into the palace, she is a concubine, so she must not collide with the queen's uniform, and she still couldn't wear the scarlet.

Now, she can finally wear it for everyone to see, wear it every day and all the time, but she is no longer young, and the words of laughter back then are also far away in her memory.

Wu Xianrong saw the butterflies in her hair and combed her back, her voice was slightly hoarse: "Your Majesty is still so beautiful, she is not old."

Liu Yan'er finally turned her head to look at him and asked, "Have you finished talking with His Majesty?"

Wu Xianrong nodded, was silent for a while, and said again: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself."

Liu Yan'er helped the back of the comb. It has been almost 20 years, and the gold wrapped in that layer is no longer shining. She said, "Stand with me for a while, don't say anything."

So the two stopped talking, and stood side by side, looking at the northwest sky together, silently.

Xie Ruzhuo left the Feilong Pavilion and went straight to the tower above Bei'an Gate. This afternoon he passed on Shen Ci to the palace to teach riding and archery. Every time Shen Ci entered the palace through Bei'an Gate.

Not long after, a white figure appeared under the tower, Shen Ci also saw him, walked up the tower silently, and asked a little cautiously: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood?"

Xie Ruzhuo guessed that he remembered the day when the two broke up on the tower, and secretly laughed in his heart, shaking his head and saying, "No, I just want to see you sooner."

Shen Ci: "..."

Seeing Shen Ci's ears turn red, Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said: "Wu Xianrong has entered the palace earlier, I just negotiated something with him, and he went to see his mother."

"Wu Xian... Wu Zongbing is not easy to deal with, right?" Shen Ci had a guess in his heart, "Your Majesty should have given you a lot of benefits."

Xie Ruzhuo said "yes": "I promised him not to interfere with his small actions with the Queen Mother in the capital, and the investigation guards will be merciful, and I also authorized him to follow the king's order."

This is similar to the previous life, but seeing the sadness in Xie Ruzhuo's eyes, Shen Ci felt very uncomfortable, and said softly: "I assure Your Majesty that this situation will not last long, and I will help Your Majesty to do more things, as long as Your Majesty If necessary, the minister will do it."

Xie Ruzhuo knew that Shen Ci would say that. From the previous life to this life, this person is still so stubborn, always thinking of doing everything to protect him, even risking his life for that illusory posthumous name.

But he doesn't seem to have done anything for Shen Ci, fame, status, power, Shen Ci doesn't like these things, he is always self-willed, quarreled with Shen Ci, and finally forced the two to say goodbye forever, separating heaven and man.

Thinking like this, suddenly he felt that there was nothing worthy of Shen Ci's liking in himself, his most precious innocence was gone long ago, what else could be worthy of Shen Ci's liking?

Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo's eyes were getting red, Shen Ci panicked. He couldn't see Xie Ruzhuo crying at all, he would feel distressed, and he would feel that he was useless and couldn't make Xie Ruzhuo happy. Xie Ruzhuo looked up, he quickly withdrew his hand, took a step back, and said: "I have offended Your Majesty, Your Majesty forgive me."

After a few moments of silence, Xie Ruzhuo's arms suddenly encircled him, his thin body shrank into his arms, and his head rested on his shoulders. He didn't dare to move, Xie Ruzhuo said softly: "I'm a little tired, I want to Find someone to give you a hug, let me give you a hug, okay?"

Shen Ci raised his hand and put it down again, after a while he raised it again, but finally hugged Xie Ruzhuo regardless of past life, present life, and the difference between monarch and minister, all left behind, he just wanted to hug this person.

"Your Majesty, when you get tired in the future, you can hug the minister."

Xie Ruzhuo closed his eyes, as if he gave Shen Ci all the breathing and heartbeat and the temperature of his own body to Shen Ci, and then grabbed the part of Shen Ci, blending with each other, inseparable.

Seeing Wu Xianrong today makes me so grateful. Liu Yan'er and Wu Xianrong missed it back then, and they missed it life after life. They never had a chance to do it again.

But the gods favored him so much, and gave him a chance to start again, so that he could hug Shen Ci with attachment, and then give his heart to Shen Ci.

In this life, he must never see the back of Shen Ci leaving in the heavy rain again. He wants to keep Shen Ci and stay with him forever.

The author has something to say: *Shao Wu: An official of the Jiaofang Division

ps I may be born with an inexplicable affection for red dancers. I think they should be people with stories when they appear. Red is gorgeous and also a kind of poignancy.It is said that heroes are saddened by beauties. In fact, history tells us that most of the miserable ones are beauties.Liu Yan'er is a multi-faceted character in my heart, she is a woman who values ​​love very much, and as an actor, she values ​​love, but it is love that hurt her the most in her life.She is not a perfect or even lovable female character, but from the author's point of view, I still feel that hateful people should also have pity.Perhaps, everyone may be able to guess what happened between her and Wu Xianrong, and I will write about it later.
